Channel Groups

Each channel can be assigned to one group: a, b, or c. Each group functions as a sep-
arate, independent automatic mixer that can span multiple linked Dugans.

Applications where groups are helpful include:

•

Separate Rooms: Assign the mics in each room to different groups so they func-
tion as separate automatic mixers.

•

Stereo Panning: Assign the mics panned left, right, and center to groups a, b, and
c, respectively, to maintain a stable stereo ambience.

To assign a channel to a group, click the

group

button until the desired group letter ap-

pears. The channel strip background is tinted green (

group b

) or blue (

group c

);

group a

not tinted (Figure 3-7). A set of

OVERRIDE

, and

MUTE

buttons appears in the

Master Pane for each group.

Channel Override

Override can be used to instantly mute all mics except one (the host or chairperson).
However, any number of mics can be included in the override group.

To assign channels to an override group, activate the

override

button on each channel.

Pressing the Master

OVERRIDE

button puts channels with their

override

buttons lit into

man

mode. All other channels are muted. Press the

OVERRIDE

button again to restore

normal automixing operation.
