Master-Slave Operation:
This function will allows you to link units together to run in a Master-
Slave mode. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the con-
trolling unit and the others will react to the controlling units built-in
programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave however, only
one unit can be programmed to act as the “Master.”

the unit. Use standard XLR microphone cables to link your
units together. Remember that the Male XLR connector is the

unit in the chain (master) will use the female XLR connector
only. The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR
connector only.
