LINK vs ON
The Output Limiters can be linked as a stereo pair (LINK) or they can act as two independent limiters
(ON). When linked, the limiters will perform the same gain reduction equally across both Left and Right
channels. The LINK position is recommended when recording stereo program, so that level changes
are identical for both channels. The ON position is recommended when using the 442 Outputs as two
separate buses.
Mix Input (linking mixers)
The Mix In function allows two 442s to be linked together for applications requiring higher
input channel counts. When 442s are linked together, all eight input channels will be present at the
receiving mixer's (442 B) stereo outputs. The MIX IN connector is an unbalanced TA3M wired pin-1 =
Ground, pin-2 = Left, pin-3 = Right. The shell of the TA3 connector must be grounded to pin-1 to open
the connection.
To Link two 442s together:
1. Connect the TAPE OUT/MIX OUT of 442 A to the MIX IN of 442 B with a TA3F to TA3F cable (Sound
Devices XL-1B optional accessory). This will send the stereo mix of 442 A directly to the stereo output
bus of 442 B.

2. Monitor the stereo sum of all eight input channels from 442 B's ST headphone monitor.
3. Adjust the levels on each mixer accordingly.
The connector shell of the Mix In TA3 must be grounded to pin-1 of the connector to open the connection.
