Mixer Linking

Linking the 664 With Another 664 or 552 Mixer

The Link I/O function allows the 664 or 552 to be interconnected with another 664 or 552 mixer for
applications requiring more inputs. When the 664 is linked with a 664 or 552, all inputs appear at both
mixer's outputs. The stereo mix from the other mixer will be routed to the 664's stereo Master Bus and
recorded on tracks L and R. Return audio and PFL occur on the headphone output of both mixers. The
Link I/O connector is an unbalanced TA5M wired pin-1 = HP L, pin-2 = HP R, pin-3 = Mix R, pin-4 =
Mix L, pin-5 = link detection/ground.
To Link the 664 to another 664 or 552 mixer:
1. Connect the Link I/O of the 664 to the Link I/O of the other 664 or 552 mixer using a TA5F
to TA5F cable (Sound Devices XL-TA55 optional accessory). This will send the stereo mix of
each mixer directly to the stereo output bus of both mixers.
2. Monitor the stereo sum of all input channels from either mixer headphone monitor.
3. Adjust the levels on each mixer accordingly.
