Linking CAM8-Series mixers can be link ed in several wa ys. The two principal wa ys of linking the mix- ers are Simple and Complex Linking. Simple Linking is the expansion to more than 8 inputs b y connecting two 8-channel mix- ers via the auxiliar y bus. Simple Linking is the “daisy-chaining” of multiple mix ers to expand the number of inputs ...
