2.1.6 SD8 and SD9 Sharing Two D-Racks ...................................
In this example, the SD9 acts as analogue gain controller for one of the D-Racks and the SD8 acts as analogue gain controller for the
other D-Rack. Both consoles receive a Receive Only "split" from the other console's D-Rack.
One of the consoles should be Audio Sync Master and the other should be set to external Audio Sync from the incoming CAT5e port from
the Little Blue Box.
Please see section 1.1.5 Full Connect and Receive Only for Rack Sharing for details of other console settings.
