able the selected automixer mode to allow you to quickly compare the

effect of the automixer being on or off.

the ring LEDs. Set to Off if you prefer to only see automix levels in the

LCD meter views only.

into the automix group(s).

Note: Automixer is only available with sample rates of 47952, 48000,

and 48048 Hz.

DUGAN AUTOMIXER MODE

Dugan gain display bars are overlaid on top of the channel signal

meters. The top 15 dB of the meter scale is shared between Dugan

gain display bars and audio signal metering. Dugan gain display bars

range from 0 dB (at the top, aligned with 0 dBFS, no attenuation) to

-15 dB (max attenuation). The -15 dB value is indicated by a purple

horizontal graticule mark to the left of a channel’s signal meter when

that channel is enabled for Dugan in Menu>Automixer.

There are two independent Dugan processing groups, Bus L and Bus

R. Channels 1-16 can be routed to Bus L, Bus R, both equally (Center),

or both unequally (L or R pan increments) by using a channel’s pan

control.

To show which Dugan group the channel is in, the Dugan gain display

bar is left-aligned for fully L, right-aligned for fully R and center-aligned

for any other pan value. When a channel is routed to both Dugan

groups (Bus L and R), the center-aligned gain display bar shows the

least attenuated value.

The Channel Screen shows the Dugan gain display bar overlaid within

the horizontal channel meter. The Dugan gain display scale and indi-

cation is the same as in the main meter screen.

The ring LEDs for ch 1-8 show Dugan gain for ch 1-8. The ring LEDs

begin to glow purple at 15 dB attenuation and increase in intensity at

0 dB attenuation.
