Installation Information
Thank you for selecting Bose® PowerMatch® amplifiers. This document is intended to provide professional installers
with basic installation and safety guidelines for using the AmpLink Digital Input Card accessory with PowerMatch®
amplifiers. Please read this document before attempting installation.
The INPUT RJ-45 connector receives up to 24 digital channels from a Bose AmpLink product. The amp also
supports a THRU path for daisy-chaining all 24 digital audio channels to other Bose AmpLink products, at a
maximum distance of 10 m between products.
CAUTION: Shielded EIA/TIA 568B straight CAT 5 cable, or equivalent, is required for proper AmpLink
operation. Unshielded cable is not supported and may cause AmpLink audio to operate improperly. Do
NOT connect either of RJ-45 ports to an Ethernet-based network.
