The LINK connectors can be repurposed to provide eight additional ADAT I/O chan-
nels, for a total of 16:
1. In the Master Pane of the Dugan Control Panel, click the ADAT button.
It toggles between 8 and 16. You can also do this from the front panel’s
MENU screen.
2. Connect console insert sends (outputs) to AUD IN 1–8 and, if in 16 mode,
AUD IN 9–16.
3. Connect AUD OUT 1–8 and, if in 16 mode, AUD OUT 9–16 to the console insert
returns (inputs).
Linking
Up to eight Dugan units can be linked into a single automatic mixing system. All dig-
ital Dugan models can be linked in any combination. The audio I/O for each must
be configured and connected individually. Linking passes only control information
between Dugans, not audio.
To configure the Dugan for linking:
1. In the Master Pane of the Dugan Control Panel, click the ADAT button.
It toggles between 8 and 16. You can also do this from the front panel’s
MENU screen.
2. Set ADAT to 8.
3. Power down the Dugan(s).
4. Designate one unit as the master by setting the NORM–SLAVE switch on the
rear panel to NORM (up).
5. Designate any other units as slaves by setting their NORM–SLAVE switches
on the rear panel to SLAVE (down).
6. Use ADAT (TOSLINK) cables to link units in a ring network.
Note that all LINK IN and LINK OUT connectors are used to create the ring.
7. When you complete the connections and have set the switches, power the
Dugans on.
