5.1 Stereo Link This parameter adjusts the stereo linking of various outputs using the Plus and Minus keys to select between Mono, 2
channel x 3 way and 3 channel x 2 way. The linking works with the Configuration parameter located to the right of the Stereo
Link parameter. In 2 channel x 3 way mode, output pairs 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6 are linked. Typically the bass output would be
output 1 and 2. In 3 channel x 2 way mode Outputs 1, 2 and 3 are typically low and 4, 5 and 6 are high. There are two different
relationships between linked variables, step and offset. A Step Variable has discrete selections such as filter type, high pass
slope, polarity, etc. If a Step Variable is changed e.g. high pass slope type, both channel values will be forced to the same value
if linked. Those parameters that don’t have discrete selections such as gain, frequency or delay can have offsets between them
when the channels are linked. These are called “Offset Variables.” If any linked variable reaches the variable’s limit, none of the
linked variables will be able to move further in that direction. Table 1 detail these relationships.
