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
appears. The channel strip background is tinted green ( group b ) or blue ( group c ); group
a is not tinted (Figure 4-7). A set of OVERRIDE , PRESET , and MUTE buttons appears in the
Master Pane for each group.

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 section 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.
