Boulder Amplifiers 860 manual Setting Boulderlink Switches, Setting Boulderlink Id Numbers

SETTING BOULDERLINK SWITCHES

Every Boulderlink system must have one “MASTER” component, and only one component can be set to MASTER. This is usually the preamplifier. Power amplifiers and other products not having a MASTER/SLAVE switch are not eligible to be “MASTER.”

SETTING BOULDERLINK ID NUMBERS

Every component is required to have a unique Boulderlink ID number.

Each Boulder 860 Stereo Power Amplifier has a thumbwheel switch on the rear panel. Start by setting the switch on the first amplifier to 0 or 1 and then increment up from there without any duplication. Use of the lowest numbers will speed up turn-on as each amplifier is allowed about three seconds before the next. This spreads out the power line inrush currents thus preventing house circuit breakers from unnecessary tripping. Up to 16 power amplifiers may be connected together in one Boulderlink cable daisy chain.
