XVII. NuVo NV-P2100 200 Watt Auxiliary Amplifier
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 Essentia with either a 1/8” (3.5mm) to 1/8”
stereo patch cable or a 1/8” stereo to RCA patch cable, Fig 21.
There are two methods for triggering the NuVo P2100 from the
Essentia outputs. One is to set the POWER MODE switch on the
P2100 to Audio (the extreme left position) and allow an
incoming audio signal from the Essentia 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 Essentia is on. An additional feature of Essentia 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” (3.5mm) patch
cable from either the System ON output on the Essentia to the
P2100 Voltage trigger input, or from the specific Zone Trigger on
the Essentia to the Voltage Trigger on the P2100, Fig. 22.

Essentia Amplifier
RS232 Interface
The RS232 port allows external two-way communication with the
Essentia System. Home automation systems such as Crestron and
AMX can be set up to operate Essentia. The RS232 addendum
contains the necessary command sets for communication with
the Essentia System.
