Appendix: CAN Link and Multiple
Evolution Two Preamplifiers
The Evolution Two Monaural Preamplifier brings a new convenience to the opera-
tion of monaural preamplifiers, using a sophisticated, reliable control system called
a controller area network (CAN) . The CAN Link communication system enables all
linked preamplifier channels to be controlled from any single linked preamplifier
channel in the system. CAN Link logic distinguishes between left and right chan-
nels. This distinction is of specific significance in the following situations:
1. The connection of multiple preamplifier channels.
2. The control of the Evolution Two using a third party remote control system via
the infrared (IR) transmitter (7) and the RC-5 (42) and RS-232 (43) connectors.
3. The use of the balance and channel assign functions, via the menu button or
key (17).
CAN Link logic is transparent during the normal operation of a stereo pair of linked
Evolution Two preamplifiers.
To Connect Multiple Evolution Two
Preamplifiers via CAN Link:
After the power supply chassis is connected to the preamplifier chassis with the
12-pin DC cable:
1. Connect one RJ-45 control cable from either CAN Link connector (45) on the
back panel of any preamplifier chassis (1) to either CAN Link connector on any
other preamplifier chassis. The two connected preamplifier channels are now
linked.
2. Repeat Step 1 for each additional preamplifiers you want to link.
