Examples of channel linking
The audio input to the master channel and any slaves in the link are all used to control
the action of the dynamic processor. The channel with the highest signal level will have
the most effect on the linked group. As all the VCA controls are also linked together,
the attenuation or gain applied to the linked channels in the group will always be
identical. Each slave’s gain reduction meter (ATTEN DEPTH) will track its group
master channel exactly.
