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.
