D.O.G.S. (Direct Out Gain Stabiliser) – Sets D.O.G.S. ON/OFF. See D.O.G.S. for more
details of this function.
D.O.G.S.
D.O.G.S. (Direct Out Gain Stabiliser) is a tool to help maintain stored gain structure between
channel input and direct output when multiple devices are sharing a single source.
When enabled, D.O.G.S. adjusts the direct output level from each channel inversely to any
manual change of a mic gain control (across a change of +16/-10dB) on that channel.
This allows the channel direct outputs to feed to a second console, recording system or
similar device with the feed to the 2nd device effectively isolated from a user changing the
gain control.
The D.O.G.S. facility is turned ON/OFF globally from the PREFS menu with the offset cleared
each time a cue is recalled or the D.O.G.S. function is turned off. For more information refer
to the White Paper section of the Soundcraft web site.
NOTE: DOGS operates on a cue-by-cue basis against any manual adjustment to mic amp
gain, it is not an offset that offset that ripples through to subsequent uses.
CAUTION: When disabling DOGS any offsets are reset which may result in an increase/
decrease in level on any systems fed from the Si Compact direct outputs.
NOTE: DOGS is intended for use live, DOGS offsets are NOT stored with any cue or cue
update.
