Title: Panning Linked Channels
Post by: SGravy on June 23, 2017, 09:14:47 AM
I know you can pan linked Aux's but is there a way to pan linked channels?

I've scanned the manual but can't see anything. Any thoughts appreciated.

What I'm after doing is to have one channel hard panned L and the other hard panned R. Obviously I can do that if I un-link the channels but that's more fingers!

Disclaimer - I don't have my DL to hand right now to confirm this but...

When you link 2 channels one is automatically hard L, the other hard R. In this configuration the (mono) pan control becomes a (stereo) balance control, as one used to see on stereo HiFi amps.

You have, of course, piqued my doubt now so I'll have to check this out now.

Thank. If that's the case great - but it was not sounding as separated as I was expecting. I wondered if I'm still getting some of the L appearing in the R channel! I'll try to set it up tonight and unlink them and see if it makes a difference.

I use an iPad on two linked inputs and I'm 99% sure it's automatically hard panned l/r when linked because my cable was wonky once and the left side of the room couldn't hear anything....
