Master-Slave Operation:

 

This function will allows you to link units together to run in a Master-Slave 

configuration.  In a Master-Slave configuration one unit will act as the 

controlling unit and the others will react and copy the controlling units 

operation. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave however, only one 

unit can be programmed to act as the “Master.” 
Master-Slave Connections and Settings:

1.   Daisy chain your units via the XLR connector on the rear of the unit.  

  Use standard XLR data cables to link your units together. Remember 

  that the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR con- 

  nector is the ouput. The first 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. 

2.   Connect the first “Slave” unit to the “Master.”

3.   Set the “Master” unit to your desired mode of operation. The “Slave”  

    unit will now follow the “Master”.
