BUILDING YOUR SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE VOR-
Operating as One Automixer with Multiple Vortexes
Example: Room Combining
To set the Vortex to operate as one automixer across several Vortexes, set the BUS MIXER parameter on all Vortexes to the same automixer group.
Let’s take a room combining setup as an example. You have 3 rooms, each with 8 microphones, therefore needing 3 Vortexes. For the purposes of this example, the 3 rooms can operate as 3 separate rooms, 2 rooms with 12 mics each, or one large room.
When the system is split into 3 Rooms, the BUS MIXER option should have the fol- lowing settings:
ROOM | VORTEX ID | AUTOMIXER | BUS MIXER | MICS |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1 | 00 | AM1 | 0 | |
|
|
|
|
|
2 | 01 | AM1 | 0 | |
|
|
|
|
|
3 | 02 | AM1 | 0 | |
|
|
|
|
|

And finally, all combined into one room:

|
1 | 00 | AM1 | 3 | |

3 | 02 | AM1 | 3 | |

The various room setups can be saved in the user defined presets or can be changed with macros.
