Ducker
The ducker provides an easy way to use the P4800 in an audio system that requires paging. When a paging
signal is present, the ducker attenuates or "ducks" other signals.
Block Name Description
§ DUCK Ducker
Function
Drag and drop the ducker onto an input strip to designate that input as the paging signal. When the
paging signal exceeds the threshold, the ducker attenuates all other signals present at each matrix
mixer point to which it is routed. Route the paging signal using the matrix mixer or the "Paging
Channels" checkboxes in the ducker's parameter window.
Note: The ducker can only be placed on an input channel strip. Place no more than one ducker on
each input channel strip.
To prevent extraneous noise from the paging input from being audible, place a gate ahead of the
Ducker in the signal flow diagram.
