it will chase through its programs via sound. You can also use the
optional controller to operate blackout, strobe, or slow scan the units.
Master-Slave Operation:
This function will allow you to link up to 16 units together to run in a
Master-Slave mode. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the
controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units built-in
programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave however, a unit
must be programmed to act as "Master."
Master-Slave Connections:
1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connector on the top of
the unit. Use standard XLR microphone cables to link your
units together. Remember that the Male XLR connector is the
input and the Female XLR connector is the output. The first
unit in the chain (master) will use the female XLR connector
only. The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR
connector only.
