q LINK buttons
When you click a LINK button, the mixer functions of the
channels assigned to it are linked as a stereo pair. When a
pair is linked, their LINK button lights. (Default: off)
When a pair is stereo linked, the buttons and faders of the
channels are combined. The channel level meters are also
shown is a stereo pair.
NOTE
When a pair is stereo linked, the settings of the buttons and
faders of the odd-numbered channels are used. The pan
slider, however, is set to the center (C).
When a stereo link is turned off, both channels retain the
settings used while linked. The dynamics effect, however, is
assigned to the odd-numbered channel, and the pan slider
is set to the center (C).
When the stereo link is on, if the pan slider is centered (C),
the signal is reduced by 3 dB. Odd-numbered channels are
sent to the left bus and even-numbered channels are sent
to the right bus. For this reason, the level will be 3 dB lower
than if the pan slider of the odd-number channel was set to
L15 and the even-numbered channel was set to R15 when
not stereo-linked.
