[. . . ] Fader bank switching on the Slave console will not be followed by the Master, allowing for independent selection of a different bank on the Slave console. CHANNEL\GROUP LINKING The linking of Input Channels or Groups can be initiated from either the Master or the Slave console. Pressing and holding the CHANNEL\GROUP LINK button at the lower right hand side of either the Master or the Slave console will allow you to see which Input Channels/Groups are currently linked.

Spirit Digital 328 Users Guide Version 2 155 328 SPIRIT DIGITAL When configuring the S/PDIF Output for the Master console, all output selections carry the appropriate signals from the Master console, mixed with the relevant audio data from the Slave console. Signals output from the S/PDIF output of the Slave console, however, are partial mixes of data input to the Slave console only, unmixed with audio from the Master console. You may select from the following outputs: AUX 1&2, AUX 3&4, GRP 1&2, GRP 3&4, GRP 5&6, GRP 7&8, C/RM It should also be noted that the Group output signals of the Slave console are set 6dB low. ADAT INPUTS The ADAT Inputs operate in the same way as on the Master or an unlinked console. TDIF INPUTS The TDIF Inputs operate in the same way as on the Master or an unlinked console. ADAT OUTPUTS The ADAT Outputs operate in the same way as on the Master or an unlinked console, and can also transmit the Group outputs (when Tape Send Direct is off). The Group output signals are set 6db low, but global in that the outputs contain mixed audio data from both the Master and Slave consoles. The ADAT and TDIF ports of both the Master and Slave console transmit the same audio data simultaneously. The input of both consoles must be set by the user in the Tape Port Select Menu (see Section 3J Part 5. 8 for more information). This increases the flexibility of a complex studio system by allowing dual 32-channel recording to ADAT and TDIF compliant devices. TDIF OUTPUTS The TDIF Outputs operate in the same way as on the Master or an unlinked console, and can also transmit the Group outputs (when Tape Send Direct is off). The Group outputs are 6db low, but global - the outputs contain mixed audio data from both the Master and Slave consoles. AUX OPTICAL PORT This can be set to transmit either the Group outputs 1-8, or the following combination: MIXL, MIXR, AUX1, AUX2, AUX3, AUX4, FX1 and FX2 (see Section 3J Part 5. 8 for more information). When the port is configured to transmit the Groups from the Slave console they signal is set 6dB low. When the port is configured to transmit AUX/MIX audio data, the MIXL, MIXR, AUX1, AUX2, AUX3 and AUX4 outputs are partial mixes and contain audio data from the Slave console only. FX1 and FX2 will send the local FX sends from the Slave console. 156 Spirit Digital 328 Users Guide Version 2 SPIRIT DIGITAL 6 - Menu changes on the Slave console See Section 3J Part 5 for more information on Digital 328 menu pages.
