Title: Anyone familiar with the Rowe Amplifier accessory board?
Post by: jdemarti on January 25, 2013, 06:04:28 pm
Is anyone familiar with the amplifier accessory board for Rowe Amplifiers? I am trying to hook mine up to my CD100 amplifier so I can pay background music through my ipod. I believe I have it connected the right way to the rowe amp, and I hooked my ipod to the BGM ports. I am not hearing any music through the amp. The board's line level is all the way up and the volume is up on the ipod. I suspect the amp mute signal is keeping the BGM from working, but I thought the mute control would be taken care of in the accessory board.  I attached a pic of the board. Any suggestions? Is it compatible with the cd100 amps?

Thanks

Here's the manual for the kit:

Thanks Ken.

I have a copy of the manual and followed the installation instructions for the BGM feature. However, I still cannot get it working correctly.  I even tried a second board just in case there was a problem with the first one.  Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Ok, I finally got it working.  The problem was I didn't have the microphone interconnect cable hooked up to the amp.  I didn't think it was needed unless a microphone was going to be used. Apparently, the interconnect hookup is required even for the BGM and axillary connection.  Works great.
