Complex Linking

Destination 1 receives inputs from mixer 2 with the
M-A switch set to auxiliary, and from mixer 1 with the
M-A switch set to main.
Complex Linking allows multiple mixers to produce two separate mixes from the same set
of inputs.The most common complex linking application is shown below.This method can also
be used to implement a "mix minus" application.
This method (CAM8PRO only) creates two separate mixes. Both destinations are routed
through the Compressor/Limiter, since both destinations are driven by Main outputs.
Destination 1 receives inputs from Mixer 1 with Main/Auxiliary bus selector set to Main, and
inputs from Mixer 2 with Main/Auxiliary bus selector set to AUX. Destination 2 receives
inputs from Mixer 1 with Main/AUX set to AUX, and inputs from Mixer 2 with Main/AUX set
to Main.
To create this complex mix, take the following steps:
1. Following the directions on page 19, set jumpers as shown in the drawing below:
J17 alone in both mixers.
2. For both mixers, remove jumper from position J2 and place it in position J1.This
gives internal control of both auxiliary buses.
3. Connect the two mixers as shown in the drawing below.
