Page 6: Getting Started
G ETTI NG START ED PLACEMENT OF THE 1060 POWER AMPLIFIER Your Boulder 1060 Power Amplifier is designed to reduce interference from external magnetic and radio fields (RF). While placement is not critical, known magnetic fields should be avoided. Because the power amplifier is heavy, a solid, stable surface should be used. -
Page 7: Connecting To The Mains Outlet
CONNECTING TO THE MAINS OUTLET Your 1060 Power Amplifier is supplied with a mains cord suitable to the location where it was purchased. It is constructed of a large enough wire gauge and a cable plug appropriate for the voltage you intend to use. -
Page 8: Connecting A Balanced Source
CONNECTING A BALANCED SOURCE To fully realize the sonic potential of your 1060 Power Amplifier, use balanced connections whenever possible. Balanced cables reduce interference from magnetic and RF sources to an absolute minimum. Connect your preamplifier outputs to the inputs provided. -
Page 9: Connecting An Unbalanced Source
Boulder ABL2 Input Adapter. It converts a balanced input into a RCA phono input right at the rear of the 1060. Like the above cable, the minus input of the 1060 is connected to the ground of the RCA phono. However, this minus side will then share the shield wire with the chassis ground and will not have very good hum rejection. -
Page 10: Polarity
Please note that the 1060 Power Amplifier conforms to the standard of pin 2 as the high or hot pin for the balanced inputs. The polarity of the 1060 Power Amplifier is such that a positive- going transition at pin 2 will produce a positive-going transition at the “+”... -
Page 11: Operation
POWERING UP With all your connections made, you are ready to listen to your Boulder 1060 Power Amplifier. To turn the amplifier on, press the POWER button on the front panel. The amplifier will perform a warm up cycle and the indicator will alternate between red and amber for 45 seconds. -
Page 12: Input Dc Offset Voltage Detection
DC offset of the source device before continuing. CLIP DETECTION Clipping of the waveform results when any amplifier is driven at too high a level. A clip detection circuit is included in the 1060 Power Amplifier. The indicator will indicate clipping by momentarily turning from amber to red. -
Page 13: Shorted Output Detection
If this happens, more ventilation should be provided for the amplifiers. MAINTENANCE No routine maintenance is required for the Boulder 1060 Power Amplifier. However, to keep operating temperatures at a minimum, do not block the heat sink fins, and remove any dust buildup that may occur. -
Page 14: Remote Control Operation
Operation of the Boulder 1060 Power Amplifier by remote control is possible when connected by a Boulderlink cable to either the 1012 DAC Preamplifier or the 2010 Preamplifier. When so connected the 1060 Power Amplifier will be turned on and off with the preamplifier. REMOTE... -
Page 15: Boulderlink
Boulderlink cables in various lengths are available as an accessory from your Boulder dealer. Two connectors are provided on the back of the 1060 and other Boulderlink enabled products. All the chassis are connected together in a daisy chain manner. Start by connecting one chassis to another–then from that chassis to the next... -
Page 16: Setting Boulderlink Switches
Every component is required to have a unique Boulderlink ID number. Each Boulder 1060 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 three seconds before the next. -
Page 17: Power Up Via Boulderlink
POWER UP VIA BOULDERLINK With each component connected together with a Boulderlink cable, and individually connected to the mains, pressing the preamplifier’s STANDBY pushbutton will initiate the turn on sequence of all components. The first time a master is powered up, it will search for any “slave” units connected to it. -
Page 18: Boulderlink Messages
BOULDERLINK MESSAGES Each component in the system can send a message to the preamplifier which is then shown on its display. This is particularly helpful in confirming the operating status of each power amplifier in a multiple amplifier system. Typical messages on a 1010 Preamplifier or 1012 DAC Preamplifier are as follows. - Page 19 “UNIT 1 IS OFFLINE” means that the slave is no longer responding via Boulderlink. Its Boulderlink cable may have become disconnected, or the mains power has been disconnected. “UNIT 1 IS ONLINE” means that the slave is now responding via Boulderlink in a normal manner and has been recognized by the master.
