⑤ Channel Name
Channel names are customizable and apply to any linked microphone. The name persists even if a different microphone is linked.
⑥ Microphone Link Slot
Selects the which microphone displays on the channel strip.
Note: One microphone is on-air per channel, though an alternate microphone can be prepared in the secondary link slot.
⑦ Identify Button

• Active: On and passing audio to the network.
• Mute: On but the audio is muted.
• External: On and passing audio to an external controller that controls the mute/active behavior.
• Standby: On but in a 'sleep' state with audio muted. Standby conserves battery charge and enables a change to the microphone's status from the control
software.
