Stereo and multiple channel operation - linking
Using the intermediate LINK switches, adjacent channels can be linked, in all modes, for stereo or
multi-channel operation. Linked channels form a group, the lowest numbered channel in the group being the
master and the other group members are slaves. The master channel’s settings override those of the slaves
with the exception of bypass, solo, ext key and side chain filter, which still act independently. (The slave
filters, ext key and solo still function when linked because the slave channel side chain is summed with the
master and any other slaves in the group.)
You can have more than one group at any time; Figure 6 “Examples of channel linking” shows some typical
group configurations and illustrates that the master is always the lowest numbered channel within the group.
Figure 6: Examples of channel linking
The audio input to the master channel and any slaves in the link are all used to control the action of the
dynamic processor. The channel with the highest signal level will have the most effect on the linked group.
As all the VCA controls are also linked together, the attenuation or gain applied to the linked channels in the
group will always be identical. Each slave’s gain reduction meter (ATTEN DEPTH) will track its group master
channel exactly.
