2.3 Linking
Multiple Model D-3 units are linked in a ring so they operate as one system. Two standard
optical audio cables (i.e., ADAT lightpipe or Toslink) are required to link two mixers.
NOTE: This is different from the way the Models D and D-1 are linked.
2.3.1 Linking Two Model D-3s
Set one Processor to Master mode and the other to Slave. Locate this setting on both
Processors by using the right and left arrow buttons on the Processor front panel to
position the cursor under the word
MASTER
or
SLAVE
. Press the
ENTER
button to
toggle the setting.
Use the optical cables to connect the
LINK OUT
of the first Processor to the
LINK IN
of
the second, and the
LINK OUT
of the second Processor to the
LINK IN
of the first.
2.3.2 Linking Three or More Model D-3s
Set one Processor to Master mode and all others to Slave. Locate this setting on each
Processor by using the right and left arrow buttons on the front panel to position the
cursor under the word
MASTER
or
SLAVE
. Press the
ENTER
button to toggle the setting.
Use the optical cables to connect the
LINK OUT
of the first Processor to the
LINK IN
of
the second, the
LINK OUT
of the second Processor to the
LINK IN
of the third. Connect
the
LINK OUT
of the last Processor back to the
LINK IN
of the first Processor to complete
the ring.
