Alternate Digital Inputs SDA4600 (BLU-Link Input) 

The SDA4600 and SDA8300 can use the iOS app “Powered By Crown” 
available for iPad or iPhone to select alternate digital inputs or to cross 
patch digital inputs. This is available from the Apple App Store. Use the 
below chart to determine which configuration you need and which input 
you should select for the proper output. The SDA8300 has eight (8) digital 
inputs and eight (8) outputs so there are no additional inputs available but 
you can use the iOS app to switch or cross patch if needed, as an alternative 
to re-wiring the outputs if done incorrect. The SDA4600 has eight (8) digital 
inputs but only uses 2 or 4 outputs depending on configuration. The extra 
inputs are always available.  

The digital inputs are listed as “BLU Input”.

 

Any combination of SDA amplifiers and SDEC digital processors can be used, 
and multiple SDA amplifiers can be configured to the same outputs 
(mirroring). There is only a limitation of the number of Blu-Link devices (60) 
and total number of discrete channels (128) that must be maintained. 

 

Always set the generic configuration using the included trigger input 
first as outlined earlier in this manual. 

 

Once the amplifier is properly configured using the Configuration 
Trigger Plugs, remove the plugs completely 

before

 changing inputs. 

 

Check the amplifier for proper operation at low volume first, and 
also check to make sure that the configuration is maintained during 
a power outage.

Only place 

one

 amplifier on the network at a time, as all amplifiers 

appear with the same name. 

 

The inputs available depend on the current configuration. These 
changes 

are not

 maintained in any saved file and are only local to 

the amplifier. 

 

 If you make a change to the amplifier using this method you should 
write this down for future reference if the amplifier ever needs to 
be reset or replaced.  

   

 

 

 

Select the amplifier from the 
list to begin. 

Select the alternate input from 
the list. The change occurs in 
real time. 

Click on the input 
that needs to 
change.
