Note that if two or more outputs are linked via
the Crossover window, only one button appears.
This is true of the Output EQ (Graphic or Parametric),
X-Over, and Delay output processors, as shown in
outputs A through E in the previous output
processor view.

Combine
Click this button to view the Combine buttons,

The combine function allows increased flexibility
when providing audio for multiple rooms that need
to be reconfigured for different events. Up to sixteen
different combinations can be created (C1–C16).
It is important to understand that combining is
implemented through control groups. Once you
become familiar with this concept, configuring and
using the combine feature is actually quite simple.
When using room combining, levels are adjusted
through groups, so crosspoints and outputs are
assigned to groups. Once this has been set up, use
the combine buttons to group outputs in up to 16
combinations. Note that when a "combine"
(combination) is active, combining rules overide
some settings.
Combine Rules
1. Combining only affects groups. No other controls
are affected.
2. When two or more mixes (outputs) are combined:
a. All crosspoints in a column assigned to a
control group will be reassigned to the same
control group as the first assigned crosspoint in
the same column.
b. All control groups present in a column of
crosspoints will be linked together such that
any operation on one control group will affect
the others as well.
c. These two rules (a and b) apply for each
crosspoint column in the combined mix, and
also for the combined mix outputs.
3. Combining only affects crosspoints and outputs
that are assigned to control groups (see rule 1).
Any crosspoint or output that is part of a
combination, but is not assigned to a control
group, will be muted when the combination is
inactive, and audible when the combination is
active.
4. Multiple combinations can be activated at the
same time.
5. Outputs that are not assigned to any combinations
are not affected by these rules.
This means that:
• Control groups controlling the outputs to the
combined rooms will be linked together. All these
control groups will have the same level. The actual
output level of each output is the basic level adjusted
by this group level. Any of the controls that previously
controlled the group level for each output can now
adjust the level to all the combined outputs. Mute/
enable controls for these groups are also linked.
• Groups that previously controlled the relative level
of a single source input to each room will now be
linked together to control the relative level of that
input to all combined rooms. All the groups for the
same input will always have the same level. The
actual relative level of the input to each combined
output is the basic level to each room adjusted by
this group level. Any of the controls that previously
controlled the group for the relative level for an
input can now adjust the relative level of this input
to the combined outputs. Mute/enable controls for
these groups are also linked.
• Combining also works with crossover outputs. In
this case, as with crosspoints, the crossover looks
like a single output for mixing/combining.
