It is possible to cascade the AM2 System. Cascade IN accepts audio and data from an mix into Halogen’s Gain-Sharing Auto Mixer upstream AM2’s Cascade OUT. This adds eight more or Room Combine Processor DSP, so that all mic channels to the initial AM2 creating a 16-channel mics connected to HAL may gain-share. gain-sharing automix. A maximum of eight AM2s can be cascaded, offering up to 64 gain-shared mics. Rear panel Fault, Locate, and Power indicators inform head- scratchers of device errors, the AM2’s physical location and AC power status.
