The PowerMatch AmpLink 24-Channel Input Card is an expansion option designed for Bose PowerMatch configurable power amplifiers. It provides up to 24 channels of uncompressed, low-latency digital audio over a standard shielded CAT 5e (or better) cable, using AmpLink — Bose’s proprietary digital audio transport protocol.
By replacing multiple analog connections with a single lightweight network cable, the AmpLink card simplifies wiring, reduces potential noise, and provides a highly reliable audio distribution method.
