Linked Functions
When two PM5000 consoles are cascaded for channel expansion complete functional linking can be achieved as well
(you can specify which functions are to be linked as described below). It is advisable only to link the functions you
intend to use, however, to prevent confusion. The CUE function, in particular, can be bi-directionally linked between the
consoles so that, for example, if an input channel on the slave console is cued channels in the same CUE group on the
master console will also be engaged.
Linked Functions (Type A)
Fader & Level
VCA Group 1~12
Mute
Mute Group 1~8 Mute Master ON/OFF
Cue Group Select
Last Cue
(ON/OFF: MIX CUE switching)
Cue/Solo
Cue Stack
Solo Mode (ON/OFF)
Master Solo Select
Scene Recall Same Scene Number
Scene Store Same Scene Number
NOT E
Please note that the various utility settings remain active for linked functions. For this reason unexpected problems such as faders not moving,
inability to save a scene because the scene is protected, master mute not functioning because the MUTE MASTER switches are assigned to direct
scene recall, and others can occur. Plan your cascade setup carefully to avoid confusion.
Since the functions provided by the PM5000 and other consoles differ, the functions that can be cascade-linked differ as well.
Linked Functions (Type B)
Level (VCA level only. Faders
do not move.)
VCA Group 1~8
Mute (Slave VCA level set to -∞)
Mute Group 1~8 Mute Master ON/OFF *1
Cue Group Select (Input
channels only)
Cue/Solo
Solo Mode (ON/OFF) *2
Master Solo Select
*1 PM3500 series consoles have no mute group function.
*2 The PM4000M (monitor version) has no solo function.
NOT E
If cue is engaged on the slave PM4000/3500 the PM5000 cue groups are input channel only. Further, since the number of VCA groups is different
VCA group 9~12 operations on the PM5000 have no effect on the slave PM4000/3500.
NOT E
Be sure to set the slave PM4000/3500 console cascade mode to "SLAVE".
