Figure 2-4 Pre-fader insert patching
The Dugan Music System is best patched post-EQ, pre-fader, pre-compressor:
• Post-EQ : Equalization can be applied to different mic types so they sound
more alike, which benefits both the sound quality and the automixing
process.
• Pre-fader : This allows the expansion threshold for automixing to remain
stable while adjusting the mix with the faders.
• Pre-compressor : The Dugan Music System works better with consistent
ambience caused by bleed from neighboring voices and instruments. It is
OK to patch post-compressor if only occasional peak limiting occurs.
However, if compression is active during normal singing or playing, better
results will be obtained by patching the Dugan pre-compressor.
