Two-by-Two
(2 x 2)
Master/Slave
Mode
The Two-by-Two (2 x 2)
Master/Slave mode allows a single CORE™ 3x3 unit (the
“master”) to control the actions of 3 other CORE™ 3x3 units (the “slaves”) as
if they
were one unit, when positioned 2 units across by 2 units down. The master
unit will be
set to operate in Master mode 4 (and in either an Auto program or Sound-Active mode),
while the slave units will be set to operate in Slave modes 2 through 4
. Once set and
connected, the four units will operate as one.
