Or create the link by opening the Room Processor for each room and configuring the link
between the Level control and the remote device (we'll use a DR1), as shown in the following
image:
After creating this link, you do the same in the Room B Room Processor. You now have a DR1 in
Room A that controls the volume in Room A and a DR1 in Room B that controls the volume in Room
B.
So what happens when you combine the two rooms? Well, at this point, nothing. We haven't con-
figured the Room Processor for Room A+B. Again, think of Room A+B as just another room—a room
that doesn't need to know anything about Room A or Room B. With regard to control linking, we
simply need to configure the control links we want for Room A+B. We want the two DR1s to control
the volume in the space and to track one another. So we open the Room Processor for Room A+B, open
its Level block properties (or link directly to the level control exposed on the room processor), and
create a single control link linking the Level control to both DRs, as shown here:
It's really as simple as that! Room A+B now has two DR1s that are linked together. When the wall
between Rooms A and B is opened (resulting in Room A+B), this control link (along with the other
Room Processor configurations for Room A+B) comes off the shelf and is activated.
In summary, creating control links in a room combine situation is no different from creating them in
other situations. You simply work with each room one at a time, creating the control links you need for
that specific space. When that room is in use, its control links are activated.
