If the manager of a shared device fails (e.g., Ethernet connection is broken, computer stops
working, computer is taken away), the shared device will continue to function. As long as the
device is powered up and is connected to the manager’s SoundGrid network, it will pass audio.
The device, however, is still owned by the missing host, so a client cannot access the device’s
control panel.
To gain full control of the shared device, select “Manage Device” from the device’s menu. This, in
essence, moves the device’s administrative privileges from the missing manager host to the
client’s computer.
The device will now appear in the client’s inventory as a local SOE device. It can be designated as
a clock master or slave of the SOE network.
If the absent manager system is sharing devices with yet other systems, this operation may
interfere with some connections.

A device manager can enable all clients in a super system to adjust the preamp gain for a
shared device. When Share Preamp Control is selected, any client host can adjust the
preamp gain of any I/O channel of the device. All users sharing this device have equal control
of preamp gain in any patched I/O channel.
For more information on how to control gain in multi-client environments and how to retain
your gain structure while other users are controlling preamp gain, refer to
