BOULDERLINK

Boulderlink is a means of interconnecting most Boulder products so that their microprocessors can talk to each other and pass important information. Among the key features, Boulderlink allows sequential initiation of power amplifiers and other products when the 865 Integrated Amplifier is turned on. Power amplifiers can send messages to the 865 which are then shown on its display.

CONNECTING BOULDERLINK

Turn off all products that are to be linked before connecting any Boulderlink cables and setting Boulderlink ID and Master/Slave switches.

Boulderlink cables in various lengths are available as an accessory from your Boulder dealer. Two connectors are provided on the back of the 865 and other Boulderlink enabled products.

All the chassis are connected together in a daisy chain manner. Start by connecting one chassis to another—then from that chassis to the next until all are connected. The order does not matter.

A special interface may be obtained to enable Boulderlink to be used with other control systems. Contact your Boulder dealer for details.
