Dugan Music System
The Dugan Music System is a soft-gating or ducking system with its threshold set by
an audio side-chain, typically from a mic measuring the ambient sound level. Each
channel has a 2:1 expansion ratio below the floating threshold. There are three Music
System Threshold inputs on the
AUDIO I/O 9–12
connector
(channels 9–11)
, one for each
group.
Consider the following before placing the sensing mic:
•
Place the sensing mic in the same area, and pointing in the same direction as the
program mics.
This samples, as closely as possible, the ambient sound picked up by the program
mics.
•
Use the same type of mic for program and sensing applications.
•
Do not place the sensing mic close to an individual voice or instrument.
•
Do not point the sensing mic at a pit orchestra.
•
Do not put the sensing mic in the back of the house because of the time delay.
Patch the preamplified sensing mic to input 9, 10, or 11 (group a, b, or c) on the
AUDIO
I/O 9–12
connector. The direct output of a console input strip is typically used, with the
mix buses deselected. Set the console input gain for the sensing mic 10–15 dB higher
than the program mics.
The Music System can also be used to duck an audience mix when the people on
stage talk, attenuating the sound of the PA in the room. Use an aux send of the stage
vocal mix to supply the threshold signal instead of a mic.
Setting up the Music System
Some channels can be set to the Music System while others are in the Speech System.
Unlike the Speech System, the Music System channels should be patched post-EQ,
pre-fader
so that fader and threshold adjustments remain independent.
