Boulder Amplifiers 1012 DAC Preamplifier - Manual (Page 36)

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 1012 DAC Preamplifier is turned on. Power amplifiers can send
messages to the 1012 which are then shown on its display.
CONNECTING THE BOULDERLINK
Turn off all products to be linked before connecting 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 1012 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.
