Linking Preamps
Linking preamps allows you to control two preamps simultaneously using one set of preamp
controls. You can match gain controls for two preamps and enable other preamp controls. This is
useful for stereo recording, for example, a microphone pair, stereo synthesiser, or keyboard.
To link preamps:
• Press and hold the Select button for one second.
When you've made the Preamp Link :
• Both preamp numbers light green and the Gain Halos light temporarily to their preamp
level.
• The preamp gain level is set to the lowest value of the newly linked pair.
• The preamp settings are inherited from the currently selected preamp, e.g. preamp 1 is
selected, therefore Preamp 2 inherits, Air, Safe and Inst settings from Preamp 1.
• Changing any preamp setting changes the state for both preamps.
• Adjusting either gain control changes the gain level for both preamps and is shown on
both Gain Halos.
• 48V disables for both preamps.
Unlinking Preamps
To unlink preamps, hold the Select button for one second. When you unlink a pair:
• The first preamp of the previously linked pair becomes selected and lights green.
• Gain levels and preamp settings stay the same, but you can now change them
independently.
