This document is intended to provide professional installers with basic installation and safety guidelines for installing the optional
CobraNet card into a Bose PowerMatch amplifier. Please read this document before attempting installation.
The CobraNet card provides 8 input channels from the default bundle number 100. When used together with a ControlSpace
®
engineered sound processor fitted with a CobraNet card, minimal setup is required to transmit 8 audio channels from
one processor to one or more PowerMatch amplifier(s). Further information is available from within the ControlSpace Designer™
Software Guide.
For more complex applications or for additional configuration capability, use of CobraNet Discovery (a.k.a. Disco) software will be
required to configure CobraNet.
To install the CobraNet card into a PowerMatch amplifier, follow these instructions:
1. Turn off and unplug the amplifier.
2. Detach the rear expansion slot cover plate by removing the 2 screws. (See Figure 1.)
3. Align the CobraNet card with the plastic card guides in the open slot. Insert until the rear panel is flush with the rear of the amplifier.
