Rack Mounting
One or two half-rack-sized Dugan controllers can be mounted in a single rack space.
Each unit ships with one long and one short rack ear and one joining plate. Two
units provide the necessary parts for mounting side-by-side.
The rack ears for older half-rack Dugans differ slightly from the current design, but
the joining plates are the same. All half-rack-sized Dugans can be mounted side-by-
side using the appropriate rack ear for each unit.
To rack-mount a single unit, attach one long and one short rack ear, then mount in
the rack.
To mount two units side-by-side:
1. For the left unit, remove the four screws from the right side of the top and
bottom lids.
2. Attach the top and bottom joining plates to the left unit.
3. For the right unit, remove the four screws from the left side of the top and
bottom lids.
4. Attach the top and bottom joining plates to the right unit.
5. Attach the appropriate short rack ears to the left and right units.
Rear Panel Connections
Model N channels are patched as inserts to your console’s input channels. Where
they are inserted depends on whether you are using the Dugan Speech System (see
page 12), the Dugan Music System (see page 14), or both.
NOTE: When an actor both sings and speaks, it is best to route the same mic through two
Dugan channels (one for the Music and one for the Speech System) and switch be-
tween them. See Musical Theater on page 52 for more information.
The rear panel has the following connectors: DANTE (Primary and Secondary), two
control network connectors (10-100-1000 BASE-T, PoE), WORD CLOCK, ADAT, and pow-
er. It also has two switches:
DANTE–ADAT and NORM–SLAVE.
