NV-P2100 200 Watt Auxiliary Amplifier (Fig. 17)

The P2100 is specifically designed for use with the NuVo Systems’ lineouts. It can be used with either the fixed or variable lineouts on the Essentia either a 1/8" to 1/8" stereo patch cable or a 1/8" stereo to RCA patch cable.

There are two methods for triggering the P2100 from the Essentia outputs. One is to set the POWER MODE switch on the P2100 to Audio (the extreme left position) and allow an incoming audio signal from the Essentia System to turn on the P2100. The second method is to place the POWER MODE switch in the AC/DC (extreme right) position. This will turn on the P2100 when the Essentia is on. An addi- tional feature of Essentia is zone specific triggers that will trigger the P2100 only when that zone is turned on. Utilizing the voltage trigger requires a mono 1/8" patch cable from either the System ON output on the Essentia to the P2100 Voltage trigger input, or from the specific Zone Trigger on the Essentia to the Voltage Trigger on the P2100, as shown in Fig. 18.

RS232 Interface

The RS232 port allows external two-way communication with the Essentia System. Home automation systems such as Crestron and AMX can be set up to operate Essentia. The RS232 Addendum contained in this manual details the nec- essary code protocol to operate the Essentia System, using an external home automation system.
