2.
If you are using a stereo source, link two PEQ units.
When you press the PEQ LINK button, the following popup window will appear. To enable
linking, press any button other than CANCEL.
This popup window includes the following items.
• GEQ*A→GEQ*B button
The channel L parameter values will be copied to channel R, and then those parameters will
be linked.
An asterisk (*) represents the GEQ location.
• GEQ*B→GEQ*A button
The channel R parameter values will be copied to channel L, and then those parameters will
be linked.
An asterisk (*) represents the GEQ location.
• CANCEL button
Cancels the link and closes the popup window.
NOTE
The PEQ LINK button appears only for paired PEQs.

Press the PEQ ON/OFF button to turn the PEQ on.
Automixer
Automixer detects effective audio from multiple microphones and automatically optimizes the gain
distribution for multiple live microphones in unpredictable dialog situations. In this way, the sound
engineer can maintain consistent system gain throughout multiple microphones without having to
focus on the operation of multiple faders.
Theory of Automixer operation
Automixer employs the Dugan Speech System, which automatically adjusts the automix gain of up
to 64 live speech microphones.
The behavior of the Dugan Speech System is different than that of a limiter or auto-level controller
function. This system enables an engineer to adjust the level balance as usual, even for multiple
speakers. Also, while no one is speaking, the system detects the microphone input levels and
automatically distributes the gain. So, the faders can be left in a raised position.

If one person speaks, that microphone’s gain
level will fade up instantly, while the other
microphone gains will be reduced. If a different
person speaks, the same effect will be
obtained.
If two people speak, the gain of two
microphones will be automatically distributed
so that the total gain will stay constant. The
gain of the third microphone will be reduced.
