Link In/Out - Daisy Chain Capability
When more than eight microphones are needed, the MR88 can be daisy
chained via the Link In/Out connectors, with other MR88 mixers. This will
create a multi-mixer system with audio and control passing throughout the
system. All audio and control data is carried by link cables, from 8 pin RJ45
connectors at the rear of the mixer. (This is a 1 to 1 link ) This must be a
screened CAT 5E cable. (STP)
Each additional mixer contains the audio from the one previous and mixes its
outputs onto the output busses. This total mix is fed back up the chain from
the last mixer making the full mixed output available from any of the mixers in
the chain. Priority and control extends throughout the entire chain. The
practical limit of the number of MR88 mixers that can be daisy chained is 50.
The SYSTEM settings for Priority and Last One On should be set to be the
same for all mixers in the chain. If they are set up differently their operation
might be confusing.
RS232 Control
A PC program is available to setup the MR88 without the use of the front
panel. In a multi mixer system the RS232 can be plugged into any of the
mixers in the system, and the mixer to be set up selected from the program.
The MR88’s are automatically addressed from 1 to n when they are linked
together.
