When using more than one Vortex device in your room system, you have sev-
eral possibilities for how you configure the automixer. Each device can oper-
ate as one of the following:
• One automixer, independent of other devices linked to it
• Two automixers, independent of other devices linked to it
• One large automixer, sharing automixer functions with other devices
linked to it
• Two large automixers, sharing automixer functions with other devices
linked to it
To operate the Vortex device in any of the above possibilities, two global
parameters need to be changed: the A
25). The A parameter chooses which automixer the input channel
UTOMIXER
will be on (this is changed either on the A
poser or on the M M
ATRIX
The B M parameter is used to assign one of the two internal automixers
US IXER
to one of the EF Bus automixer groups. For example, consider three Vortex
devices, each of which has 4 microphones assigned to Automixer 1 and 4
microphones assigned to Automixer 2. Now, if each of these devices sets their
Automixer 1 to have Bus ID 5, then the three automixers (one from each
device) will work as a single automixer containing 12 (3 x 4) microphones.
Setting B M to 0 means that the automixer is not grouped on the EF
US IXER
Bus.
To set the Vortex device to operate as an independent automixer (or two), set
the B M parameter to 0, or to a number that is different from any other
US IXER
automixer group on the EF Bus.
To set the Vortex device to operate as one automixer across several devices,
set the B M parameter on all devices to the same automixer group.
