[. . . ] In a multiple unit Graphi-Q network, you may NOT apply a True Stereo link from one unit to another, but only between the left and right channels of a single unit. All the units in a network may have their L-R channels linked, but each link will be independent of other units. A GRQ3122 or GRQ3122-S unit with channels linked in True Stereo may not also be part of an ABS or REL link for compressor values. Of course other parameters may be linked (ABS or REL) independently of compressor relationships. Crossover Settings Because crossover settings are unique to a specific set of speakers and their environment, these settings are not available in the link table. When a crossover is in effect, be careful about linking other filters - you may attempt to control a filter that is not appropriate for the frequency response of a given output. Relative Linking and Scale Values All changes made to cells that are REL LINKED will increment or decrement by an identical number of steps in the scale of the parameter. This may not always be a linear relationship. For example, changing the compressor ratio in one REL LINKED cell from 1:1 to 1. 4:1 will result in a change in another REL LINKED cell from 10:1 to 16:1. Both will move up one notch on the scale for compression ratio scale. Loading Memory Presets to Linked Units If you try to recall and load a stored memory (see Section 8. 6) to a unit with cells linked to any other unit, the screen shown at below will appear. 31 B2-GRQ-OpGuide-v9-031020. pmd SECTION EIGHT: USING GRQ2 REMOTE SOFTWARE If you elect to continue, the value your loaded memory puts into any linked cell on the chosen GraphiQ 2 will affect all other linked values as well. If you don't want this to happen, you must open the Link Table and remove the appropriate linking. Loading a preset that changes a linked parametric or sets an FBX filter back to an unset FBX filter will NOT load a corresponding filter change to linked channels. Linked channel FBX or parametric filters will remain unchanged unless your reset or manually program a change. 8. 3. 2. 9 Resetting Parameters When Units Are Linked (See also Section 8. 4) Resetting any parameter for any cell linked to another unit of channel will also change the value of all linked cells (except FBX filters and parametric filters in some instances). For ABS LINK, all linked cells will be reset to the default parameter values. For REL LINK, parameter values for linked cells will be decreased by the same amount as occurs by resetting the source cell. For example, resetting digital delay from 100 ms to the minimum value (1. 38 ms) in the source cell will reduce all REL LINKED cells' delay times by 98. 62 ms. For GRQ3122 and GRQ3122-S models, REL LINK parameters can be reset separately or simultaneously for each output. Whether channels are reset separately or together (checking either one or both channel boxes on the reset screen), the reset procedure for REL LINK will use the channel currently selected on the main screen as the source cell. IMPORTANT: When resetting REL, make sure the correct source is selected on the main software screen, if you are resetting just one output channel. Note that FBX filters can be reset only one unit at a time.
