Master Outputs; Link Bus - Peavey Mixer User Manual

Connections
The master output section features two independent sets of outputs, both from the final gain stage of the Automix 4. Normally,
the main outputs that would be used to drive the primary power amplifier would come from the balanced output. The second-
ary output, labeled LINE OUT is un-balanced. Both outputs can be used simultaneously.

The LINK feature provides functionality to combine multiple Automix 4's into a larger system. The link circuitry is designed to
allow for separate combine circuits for the audio and control buses. When multiple units are combined, and both the audio and
control busses are linked, the gain management feature is unified between all units, thereby providing a larger automatic mixer.
The main output would be derived from the master unit, while secondary outputs from the slaves could be used for secondary
or monitor feeds.

The MIC/LINE switch determines whether the balanced
output is nominally at microphone level or line level.
For driving power amplifiers, this switch should be in
the LINE position. NOTE: This applies ONLY to the
balanced output, NOT the LINE OUT.
The LINK switch determines whether the
Automix 4 is a master or slave in the system.
For best results, only one master should be used
in a typical system. For proper operation, all
SLAVE units MUST have both buses linked to
the MASTER unit. NOTE: The link bus connec-
tions are unbalanced and their cabling should
not exceed six feet. Use only shielded cable.
