Nv-P2100 200-Watt Auxiliary Amplifier; Rs232 Interface - Nuvo Concerto NV-I8DMS User Manual

NV-P2100 200-Watt Auxiliary Amplifier (fig. 14)
The P2100 is specifically designed for use with the
NuVo Systems' lineouts. It can be used with either the
fixed or variable lineouts on the Concerto amplifier.
The connection is made using either a 1/8" to 1/8"
stereo patch cable or a 1/8" stereo to RCA patch cable.
There are two methods for triggering the P2100 from
the Concerto outputs. One is to set the POWER MODE
switch on the P2100 to AUDIO (extreme left) position
and allow an incoming audio signal from the Concerto
System to turn on the P2100. The second method is to
place the POWER MODE switch in the AC/DC (extreme
right) position. This will turn on the P2100 when the
Concerto is on.
An additional feature of Concerto is Zone-Specific
Triggers that will trigger the P2100 only when that
zone is turned on. Utilizing the voltage trigger
requires a mono 1/8" patch cable from either the
System ON output on the Concerto to the P2100
Voltage trigger input, or from the specific Zone Trigger
on the Concerto to the Voltage Trigger on the P2100, as
shown in Fig. 14.

RS232 Interface

The RS232 port allows external two-way communica-
tion with the Concerto System. Home automation sys-
tems such as Crestron and AMX can be set up to oper-
ate Concerto.
The RS232 protocol document details the necessary
code protocol to operate every aspect of the Concerto
System. This document is available online for viewing
and/or downloading. Visit the NuVo website at
