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’ power up when the ”master” component is turned on. Boulder power amplifiers can send messages to certain other Boulder products which are then shown on the display.

CONNECTING BOULDERLINK

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

Two connectors are provided on the back of the 860 and other Boulderlink enabled products. Boulderlink cables in various lengths are available as an accessory from your Boulder dealer.

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 automation and control systems. Contact your Boulder dealer for details.
