3) MASTER:
This connects the RMS detector averaging circuit to any other identical compressor using the LINK (LINK_RMS) bus when
the switch is pressed. However, besides controlling its own VCA it also feeds the MASTER LINK BUS (LINK_MS). The
sidechain of this compressor then responds as in NORM mode but also controls all other compressors connected as
SLAVES.
THIS BUS ONLY EXISTS ON TOTAL AUDIO CONTROL RACKS, NOT THOSE OF OTHER MANUFACTURERS. FOR USE WITH
OTHER RACKS A WIRED CONNECTION IS AVAILABLE.
The RMS capacitors on adjacent modules are connected directly together to achieve a combined control signal for all the
THAT4301s in the system.
ONLY CONNECT ONE MODULE IN A GROUP AS A MASTER OTHERWISE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
4) SLAVE:
This connects the RMS detector averaging circuit to any other identical compressor using the LINK bus when the switch is
pressed. However, the THRESHOLD, ATTACK, RECOVERY and RATIO controls are disabled, and the compressor response is
controlled from the MASTER module set of controls.
SLAVE METERING:
When a module is configured as a SLAVE, the GAIN REDUCTION meter will display the attenuation even when the module
is not switched IN. This gives a preview of what will occur when IN is pressed. However, if IN is not pressed, the module
will not contribute to the RMS control voltage, therefore the gain reduction will change slightly when IN is pressed.
