You would want to control some of the functions of these
amplifiers together but many you do not. Each amplifier needs its
own unique crossover point to handle its required duties so Link
On would not work.
You would select a group and assign each of your SX.2 Series
amplifiers to this group. For our example we will assume this
group has been named FRONTSTAGE.
Next select the FRONTSTAGE group from the LINK menu and
set its Link Property to Link Off.
Now you would use the AMP ADJ menu to adjust each
amplifier’s gain range, gain, equalizer, low pass crossover, high
pass crossover, Kompressor™, Kompressor™ Adjustment, etc. to
fit its unique needs.
So why group them then? Because now you can use the
GROUP ADJ menu to select FRONTSTAGE and be able to:
»Adjust the overall output gain of all three amps together.
»Turn their Kompressors™ on and off in unison.
»Mute the entire front stage for setup and testing.
»Use the pink noise generator on the entire front stage for
setup and testing.
These are just two real world examples of how powerful
grouping amplifiers can be and the flexibility it gives you when
used in conjunction with the Link property. Use your imagination
to come up with what works for you.
You would select a group and assign each of your four SX.1
Series amplifiers to this group. For this example we will assume
you also changed the name of the group to BIG BASS.
Next select the BIG BASS group from the LINK menu and set
its Link Property to Link On.
Now you would be able to set the gain range, gain, equalizer,
low pass crossover, high pass crossover, Kompressor™,
Kompressor™ Adjustment, etc. for all four amplifiers at the same
time using the BIG BASS group you created. Each amplifier
would share these important settings and you don’t have to adjust
four amplifiers, just adjust the BIG BASS group from the GROUP
ADJ menu and that’s it.
The only options you would be able to adjust from the AMP
ADJ menu would be each amplifiers individual gain setting and
mute function.
The gain setting allows you to level match each amplifier in the
group independently in case one channel or amp needs to be
tweaked to match the rest.
The mute function is for muting individual channels or entire
amplifiers for setup and testing purposes.
Example 2
You have three SX.2 Series amplifiers driving the front stage of
your audio system. One on tweeter duty, another on midrange
and the last one on midbass.
