Creating a Multi-Device Configuration File

Expanding or Contracting an Existing Project
Once the SoundStructure devices are linked and ready to operate as a
multi-device system, the next step is to create a configuration file that can be
uploaded into the SoundStructure system.
The configuration file for an OBAM-linked system contains information for all
the linked SoundStructure devices. SoundStructure Studio is used to upload
the configuration into the master device and then the settings are distributed
automatically to all the linked units.
A configuration file for a single device may be expanded to support additional
SoundStructure devices or a configuration file for multiple devices may be
contracted to operate on fewer SoundStructure devices by opening the source
configuration file offline, navigating to the Wiring page, and using the Edit
Devices button as shown in the following figure. The Edit Devices button is
not active when connected online to a SoundStructure system.
The 'Edit Devices' button is only active when working OFFLINE. Once connected to
a SoundStructure system, the 'Edit Devices' button is disabled.
The Edit Devices button brings up Convert Projects Device Wizard, a tool for
changing devices used in a SoundStructure project. There are two steps to the
Convert Projects wizard - a step for selecting the devices and telephony
options, and, when downsizing, a step for removing channels. The following
figure shows Step 1 in the Convert Projects Devices Wizard where a C12 was
