[. . . ] Compressor Linking Options for GRQ3122 and GRQ3122-S Models Just as with any other parameter setting, you may link compressor channels, left or right, within the same unit, or between multiple units, in either ABS or REL linked networks. However, for stereo programs, simply linking compressor settings of the left and right channels to be identical may not be appropriate. For example, if both channel A and channel B begin to compress when a peak level exceeds a certain threshold, and the sound engineer intentionally designs his audio program to have more sound in the left channel, that channel's sound will be compressed more readily than the right channel program. Since compression affects sound levels, such a setup will result in a difference in the balance of left-right channel output levels -- the stereo image will shift. To preserve channel balance yet still allow compression, Sabine offers another method of linking left and right channels of GRQ3102 and GRQ3102-S models: True Stereo compression. In True Stereo mode, both channels are compressed equally if the threshold is exceeded in either channel. There are two methods by which True Stereo compression can be selected (note that changing compressor link status by either method will automatically update the status report in the other screen): 1. In the Link Table, enter the letter "S" in the appropriate channel boxes, and click "Apply. " 2. In the Compressor/Limiter screen, you may toggle the box below the CLOSE button to engage either True Stereo or Dual Mono compressor modes. Because these models do not offer two discrete channel signal paths, True Stereo linking will not apply to such units. 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. 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. 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. [. . . ] The serial number affixed to the product is altered, defaced or removed; or e.
