Group Members

After a group has been created, the group members (the individual controls that comprise
the group) update to indicate that they are now part of a group. You can individually
control group members. This allows for relative levels between group members to be fine-
tuned. Group member levels can also be set by a preset recall.

DSP Configurator displays the group member value plus the offset created by the group
master. As a result, the application always displays the value that you are hearing.
However, the value of the group member that is on the device is always the actual value,
independent of the added group master offset value. If a group master is deleted, the
group member value reverts to its actual value.

For example, when the group master is set to -10.0 dB and the group member value is
0.0 dB, the group member displays the value of the group member plus the group master
offset, which is -10.0 dB. The MTP output post-switcher gain reflects the -10.0 dB group
master offset plus the -6.0 dB mono sum offset. The value shown below the fader is
-16.0 dB, yet the actual value of the MTP output post-switcher gain is -6.0 dB.

Multiple Group Masters

A group member can be controlled by multiple group masters. It is recommended that
this feature be used with caution, as "overlapping" membership can quickly become
unmanageable.

Multiple group masters can be useful in instances such as when Group 1 controls the
volume in Room A, Group 2 controls the volume in Room B, and Group 3 controls volume
in a combined Room A and B.

NOTE: When using multiple group masters, the offset value that is added to the

group member value is the sum of all group masters acting on the group
members.

When configuring a group, the group members that are already
being controlled by another group master are indicated with
blue text in the Available Group Members section of the
Configure Groups dialog box. After creating the group, the
control dialog boxes for each group member change from
displaying membership in a single group to displaying membership in multiple groups.
