This makes it ideal for use in conjunction with whole-house audio systems such as the NuVo Essentia when additional power is need. The P2100 can also be triggered to turn on using an external voltage of 3-30 volts, either AC or DC, enabling the amplifier to be turned on or off from a switched remote power source.

POWER POWER Button: STAND BY LED: ACTIVE LED: PROTECT LED: MODEL NV-P2100 HIGH EFFICIENCY 200 WATT STEREO AMPLIFER STAND BY ACTIVE Pushing this button will manually supply power to the amplifier. This blue LED (light-emitting diode) will remain lit as long as the P2100 is plugged into an AC power supply.

The P2100 will accept any line level stereo audio signal. This can be from the preamp lineout of a multi-source, multi-zone whole-house system such as the NuVo Essentia system, or the audio output of any non-amplified source, such as an AM/FM tuner, CD player, or a Satellite receiver.
"AUDIO INPUT 2" on the P2100. Fig. 1. The P2100 is an ideal accessory for use with a multi-zone audio system such as the NuVo Essentia six-zone sys- tem, which has a stereo lineout for each zone. This allows the P2100 to easily integrate with the multi-zone sys- tem and provide additional amplification when needed.
+6 or a counter clockwise turn is used to reduce the gain. This would be the preferred setting for a distributed audio system with variable preamp line outs, such as the NuVo Essentia system. Reducing the gain can also be useful for limiting the maximum power going to the speakers.
8 OHM: 70W X 2 4 OHM: 100W X 2 The NV-P2100 amplifier is designed to run at a maxi- mum load of 4 ohms. Prolonged operation at less than 4 ohms could cause the amplifier to overheat and do damage to its internal components.

20W/8 OHM X2 INPUT SOURCES The NuVo P2100 has the ability to be triggered by an incoming audio signal, or by the presence of a voltage as shown in the diagram with the NuVo Essentia system. The variable line-out of the NuVo Essentia amplifier allow the volume to be controlled by the audio systems keypads. The best sensitivity trim setting for this is +6.
