Boulder Amplifiers Integrated Amplifier 865 - Manual (Page 34)

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 or CD Player. Power amplifiers and other products not
having a MASTER/SLAVE switch can never be “MASTER.”
On the 865, the Boulderlink MASTER/SLAVE switch will normally
be set to MASTER.
SETTING BOULDERLINK ID NUMBERS
Each component is required to have a unique Boulderlink ID
number. The 865 ID is preset to 0 at the factory and/or when a master
reset sequence is executed.
Each Boulder 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. In addition to the 865, up to
15 power amplifiers may be connected together in one Boulderlink cable
daisy chain.
