Linked Functions
When two PM5000 consoles are cascaded for channel expansion complete functional linking can be achieved as well
(you can specify which functions are to be linked as described below). It is advisable only to link the functions you
intend to use, however, to prevent confusion. The CUE function, in particular, can be bi-directionally linked between the
consoles so that, for example, if an input channel on the slave console is cued channels in the same CUE group on the
master console will also be engaged.
O: Linked, X: Not linked
Since the functions provided by the PM5000 and other consoles differ, the functions that can be cascade-linked differ as well.
*1 PM3500 series consoles have no mute group function.
*2 The PM4000M (monitor version) has no solo function.

NOTE
Please note that the various utility settings remain active for linked functions. For this reason unexpected problems such as faders not moving,
inability to save a scene because the scene is protected, master mute not functioning because the MUTE MASTER switches are assigned to direct
scene recall, and others can occur. Plan your cascade setup carefully to avoid confusion.

NOTE
If cue is engaged on the slave PM4000/3500 the PM5000 cue groups are input channel only. Further, since the number of VCA groups is different
VCA group 9~12 operations on the PM5000 have no effect on the slave PM4000/3500.
NOTE
Be sure to set the slave PM4000/3500 console cascade mode to “SLAVE”.
