Dugan Music System and Gain Limiting
45
To set up the Music System, you must send a music system threshold signal from the
console to the Music System Threshold Input of a Dugan group:
1.
Connect the sensing mic to an available console input.
2.
Deselect all mix buses from that input strip.
3.
Route that input’s direct out to an available MADI channel output.
4.
Set the console input gain for the sensing mic 10–15 dB higher than the pro-
gram mics.
This establishes a general level that will be trimmed in step 13.
5.
On the Dugan’s Channel Pane, activate the
music
button on the desired
channels.
The
music
tab will appear on the Master Pane when at least one channel
is assigned to the Music System.
6.
Click the
music
tab on the right margin of the Master Pane to open the Mu-
sic System panel.
A column of controls appears for each group with at least one active music
channel.
7.
Enter the MADI channel number that you chose to use for the music sys-
tem threshold channel input for that group.
8.
If the meter is not set to Music System Threshold Input Level, click the title
to toggle it.
9.
Start with the
music system threshold
control(s) set to 0 dB (default).
10.
On the Channel Pane, start with all channel
thresh
controls at 0 dB (de-
fault).
11.
Activate the
auto
buttons for all channels in use, and the
mute
buttons for
unused channels.
12.
On all channels, activate the
preset
button adjacent to the selected mode.
This preserves your mode settings when the unit is powered off and on.
13.
Use the
music system threshold
control to fine tune the threshold for each
group so the
auto mix gain
for each music system channel hovers around
-15 dB.
If all the channel
auto mix gain
displays stay at full gain, the threshold sig-
nal is missing or too low.
See page 27 to learn how to enter values.
14.
Fine tune individual channels using their
thresh
controls so the
auto mix
gain
display stays close to -15 dB.
To close the Music System pane on an iPad, swipe it to the right.
