Fortinet 2 SXRC manual Example

Page 67

You would select a group and assign each of your four SX.1 Series amplifiers to this group. For this example we will assume you also changed the name of the group to BIG BASS.

Next select the BIG BASS group from the LINK menu and set its Link Property to Link On.

Now you would be able to set the gain range, gain, equalizer, low pass crossover, high pass crossover, Kompressor™, Kompressor™ Adjustment, etc. for all four amplifiers at the same time using the BIG BASS group you created. Each amplifier would share these important settings and you don’t have to adjust four amplifiers, just adjust the BIG BASS group from the GROUP ADJ menu and that’s it.

The only options you would be able to adjust from the AMP ADJ menu would be each amplifiers individual gain setting and mute function.

The gain setting allows you to level match each amplifier in the group independently in case one channel or amp needs to be tweaked to match the rest.

The mute function is for muting individual channels or entire amplifiers for setup and testing purposes.

Example 2

You have three SX.2 Series amplifiers driving the front stage of your audio system. One on tweeter duty, another on midrange and the last one on midbass.

You would want to control some of the functions of these amplifiers together but many you do not. Each amplifier needs its own unique crossover point to handle its required duties so Link On would not work.

You would select a group and assign each of your SX.2 Series amplifiers to this group. For our example we will assume this group has been named FRONTSTAGE.

Next select the FRONTSTAGE group from the LINK menu and set its Link Property to Link Off.

Now you would use the AMP ADJ menu to adjust each amplifier’s gain range, gain, equalizer, low pass crossover, high pass crossover, Kompressor™, Kompressor™ Adjustment, etc. to fit its unique needs.

So why group them then? Because now you can use the GROUP ADJ menu to select FRONTSTAGE and be able to:

»Adjust the overall output gain of all three amps together. »Turn their Kompressors™ on and off in unison.

»Mute the entire front stage for setup and testing.

»Use the pink noise generator on the entire front stage for setup and testing.

These are just two real world examples of how powerful grouping amplifiers can be and the flexibility it gives you when used in conjunction with the Link property. Use your imagination to come up with what works for you.
