Cascade connections Establishing a cascade connection Here’s how to designate one system as the “master” and the other system as the “slave,” and establish a cascade connection. • In order to use cascade connection, one system must be designated as the master and the other as the slave. If both are designated as the master (or slave), they will not operate correctly. • In cascade connection, both systems have equal status. You may specify either one as the master. 1.
PM1D System Software V1.5 Supplementary Manual For example if you select the MIX 1 button, the MIX bus 1 pre-fader signal will be sent from one engine to the other engine, and will be mixed with the MIX bus 1 pre-fader signal of the other engine. In the same way, the pre-fader signal of MIX bus 1 prefader signal of the other engine will be sent to the first engine, and mixed with the MIX bus 1 pre-fader signal.
Cascade connections Cautions when using cascade connection This section explains points that you should keep in mind when using cascade connection. ■ Checking the CASCADE IN/OUT connectors If cascade connection is not established even after you have connected the CASCADE IN/OUT connectors between the two systems and designated one as the master and the other as the slave, access the SYSTEM CONNECTION screen. In this screen, the CASCADE IN/ OUT connector symbols will indicate the state of connections.
