This also applies to multiple music sources simultaneously connected (though the possibility of resulting cacophony makes this
a less likely scenario!)

NOTE: Users should be aware when using simultaneous microphones and/or music sources from multiple linked modules, that
the operation of the LM-2’s Priority function may become unpredictable. We recommend that the Priority function is not used
under these circumstances.
Remote controls
When modules are linked, only one may act as the remote control for each of the host unit’s background music functions:
source and level. The MUSIC SOURCE and MUSIC LEVEL controls
7 and 8 (see “Faceplate Controls and Connections” on
page 4) on all but one of the linked modules must be disabled. This is done by moving jumpers J1 and/or J3 on the upper
PCB as required.

LOCATION OF JUMPERS

The default setting for J1 and J3 is LOCAL; this enables both the faceplate background music source and level controls. Set both
jumpers to LINK to “pass” the remote control functions to the LM-2 connected at the LINK connected.
Note that the two functions – background music source selection and background music level – may be disabled individually, so
that one LM-2 in a Zone could control the music source and another the music volume.

Note that it is also possible to “daisy-chain” standard Cloud RL-1 and RSL-6 remote control plates to the LINK connector.
This would be useful if additional background music control points were required in the Zone, but not additional system inputs.
