Operator’s Manual Page 25Input Ganging and Output GangingThe method of linking inputs or outputs together during editing is achieved in the same way, so only crossover (output)ganging will be explained here. Having selected Crossover GangingCrossover GangingCrossover GangingCrossover Ganging from the menu under the CrosCrosCrosCrossoversoversoversoverSubSubSubSub----MenuMenuMenuMenu, the current ganging set-up will be displayed. This will either be a preset selection as would be useful in astandard crossover configuration – for example<<<<----Crossover GangingCrossover GangingCrossover GangingCrossover GangingGanging=1+3+5+7 2+4+6+8Ganging=1+3+5+7 2+4+6+8Ganging=1+3+5+7 2+4+6+8Ganging=1+3+5+7 2+4+6+8…would be a logical ganging arrangement if the crossover was set up as a 4 x 2 way – linking the control and adjustment ofall “Low” outputs together, and that of all “High” outputs together.However, if the crossover has not been set up with a preset routing configuration, then it may be required to set up theganging to compliment this configuration. This is achieved using the Free AssignFree AssignFree AssignFree Assign mode. This is selected from thepreset ganging choices, which are:Ganging=NoneGanging=NoneGanging=NoneGanging=None [all outputs independent]Ganging=Free AssignGanging=Free AssignGanging=Free AssignGanging=Free Assign [choose ganging]GanginGanginGanginGanging=1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8g=1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8g=1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8g=1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 [1 x 8 way]Ganging=1+5 2+6 3+7 4+8Ganging=1+5 2+6 3+7 4+8Ganging=1+5 2+6 3+7 4+8Ganging=1+5 2+6 3+7 4+8 [4 x 2 way]Ganging=1+3+5+7 2+4+6+8Ganging=1+3+5+7 2+4+6+8Ganging=1+3+5+7 2+4+6+8Ganging=1+3+5+7 2+4+6+8 [2 x 4 way]Selecting Free AssignFree AssignFree AssignFree Assign and then pressing ENTER will begin the process of ganging outputs together using thefollowing simple rules: All outputs are ganged to the lowest number – so to gang 3 & 5, 5 must be selected and then ganged to 3. Outputs cannot share more than one ganging set – so for example output 3 cannot be ganged to 2 and 4 unlessthey are ganged together as well. (Effectively 3 and 4 are ganged to 2 in this case)With these rules in mind, selecting and setting up gangs is quite straightforward.Press a MUTE key to choose the output to gang – its LED will begin to flash, and an EDIT key will illuminate to showwhich output it is currently ganged with. To change this selection, just press another EDIT key, remembering that gangswork from the highest to lowest number. So, to gang outputs 1 and 5, press MUTE 5 then EDIT 1 – the display will show<<<<----Crossover GangingCrossover GangingCrossover GangingCrossover GangingGang Output 5 with 1Gang Output 5 with 1Gang Output 5 with 1Gang Output 5 with 1Ganging is cleared by selecting Ganging=NoneGanging=NoneGanging=NoneGanging=None from the initial choices given above.
