Boulder Amplifiers 1012 DAC Preamplifier - Manual (Page 37)

SETTING BOULDERLINK SWITCHES
Every Boulderlink system must have one “MASTER” component,
and only one component can be set to MASTER. Usually this is the
preamplifier. Power amplifiers and other products not having a
MASTER/SLAVE switch are not eligible to be “MASTER.”
On the 1012, set the Boulderlink toggle switch to MASTER.
SETTING BOULDERLINK ID NUMBERS
Each component is required to have a unique Boulderlink ID number.
The 1012 ID is preset to 20 at the factory and/or when a master reset
sequence is executed. If multiple preamplifiers are connected together,
see pages 4-5 through 4-6 for instructions on how to change the ID
numbers of the additional units.
Each Boulder 1000 and 2000 power amplifier has a thumbwheel
switch on the rear panel. Start by setting the first switch to 0 or 1 and
then going up from there without any duplication. Use of the lowest
numbers will speed up turn on as each amplifier is allowed about 3
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.
