Chapter 6: Pre-fader Insert
The Dugan Speech System is more convenient to operate if patched post-fader. If
your console allows a post-fader insert, skip this section. If you must use a pre-fader
insert, this section describes how to properly mute and pre-listen to muted channels.
Muting Channels
Mics must be muted by using the mute buttons on the Dugan Control Panel. Pulling
a fader down on the console will not properly mute a channel. Although that mic is
no longer audible in the mix, it still contributes to the gain computations and causes
ambient noise fluctuation. In the worst case, this could cut off a speaker.
