GLOBAL/LOCAL FUNCTIONS
The Global/Local switch selects which input channels ap-
pear at that linked mixer’s output. Set to the Global position,
all
input channels from all linked mixers appear at that mixer’s
output. Set to the Local position, only its own eight input chan-
nels appear at that mixer’s output. The Master level control, in
any mode, only controls the level of its own output.
The Master level control is independent of the Global/Lo-
cal switch. The output level of each mixer is affected
only
by its
own Master control. All automatic functions (such as Last Mic
Lock-on and MaxBus) are connected on all linked mixers and
are not affected by the Global/Local switch.
An example of the possibilities of this setup is shown in
Figure 8. Here two AMS8100s are set to Local, and the result-
ing sound distribution provides local sound reinforcement
while avoiding feedback. This is a simple “mix-minus” setup.
The third AMS8100 is set to Global and feeds a tape recorder,
At the same time, the automatic functions (Last Mic Lock-On,
etc.) remain common to all mixers. The following table summa-
rizes the mixer settings.
