Model E-2A Modes

The Model E-2A has an ANA/DIGI mode switch that controls whether to use analog or

ADAT as your primary I/O. When set to analog mode however, the analog and ADAT

channels can operate simultaneously. This can yield up to 28 automix channels. In

ADAT mode, analog channels will not appear in the Dugan Control Panel.

NOTE: Unprocessed splits of the input signals are always present on the outputs of the unused

I/O connectors. These can be sent to a multitrack recorder.

Select only the number of channels you need for automixing. This will simplify the

Dugan Control Panel display, maximize your I/O, and retain flexibility to manage

your other requirements, such as mirroring inputs to outputs, linking, and mix buses.

NOTE: It is not necessary to select channels here that you plan to use for mix bus outputs.

•8 channels (1–8)

•any number of additional analog channels up to 12
