5. When no one is talking, set each console preamp so there is enough gain in each

channel so the level LED at the top of the Dugan front panel display stays on and

all meters float at about the same gain.

This procedure assures smooth automatic mixing.

To display additional channels, navigate down to select the double arrows and

turn the knob.

Linking

Up to eight Dugan units can be linked into a single automatic mixing system. The

audio I/O for each unit must be connected individually. Linking passes only control

information between Dugans, not audio.

One unit must be set to be the master and the others slaves:

1. Designate one unit as the master by setting the NORM–SLAVE switch on the back

panel to NORM (up).

2. Designate any other units as slaves by setting their NORM–SLAVE switches on the

back panel to SLAVE (down).

3. Use ADAT (TOSLINK) cables to link units in a ring network (see below).

Note that all LINK IN and OUT connectors are used to create the ring.
