After activating the link: CHAPTER 3: Key Audio Design Features What happens if LevelB participates in another control link (Link2) which is higher priority than Link1? If Link2 is activated, its control link value and all its participants take on the value of the Link2 Link Master (which could be LevelB). LevelB will not be an active participant in Link1 until Link2 is deactivated. When Link2 is deactivated, assuming Link1 is still active, LevelB will become an active participant in Link1. As LevelB rejoins Link1, it takes on Link1's control link value, even if it is Link Master in Link1. The Link Master is only used to initialize the value of a link when the link is activated. From that point forward (until the link is deactivated), all participants track the control link value. The following images from the Halogen software help illustrate the above scenario. The first image shows the different controls when both Link1 and Link 2 area active. The second image shows what happens when Link 2 is deactivated. 117

After activating the link:
What happens if LevelB participates in another control link (Link2) which is higher priority than Link1? If
Link2 is activated, its control link value and all its participants take on the value of the Link2 Link Master
(which could be LevelB). LevelB will not be an active participant in Link1 until Link2 is deactivated. When
Link2 is deactivated, assuming Link1 is still active, LevelB will become an active participant in Link1. As
LevelB rejoins Link1, it takes on Link1’s control link value, even if it is Link Master in Link1. The Link
Master is only used to initialize the value of a link when the link is activated. From that point forward (until
the link is deactivated), all participants track the control link value.
The following images from the Halogen software help illustrate the above scenario. The first image shows the
different controls when both Link1 and Link 2 area active. The second image shows what happens when
Link 2 is deactivated.
