Shared

Shared mode provides eight channels of Dugan automatic mixing and eight chan-
nels of general purpose ADAT I/O. The Dugan automatic mixing channels are
patched using the

Inserts

tab of the Patchbay page (channels 9–16).

The eight ADAT I/O channels appear on the ADAT connector

AUDIO 1–8

. These channels

are unrelated to Dugan mixing. They appear in the

FOH

tab of Patchbay as channels 1–8.

To set Shared mode:

1. Set the rear panel AUTOMIX–IO 16 switch to AUTOMIX (up).

2. Toggle the #ch button in the Dugan Control Panel software to 8/8 (see #ch on

page 57).

ADAT Synchronization

You must select a synchronization source to use Shared mode.

There are three ways to synchronize an ADAT input to the Dugan-VN16:

Connect the word clock output of the VN16 to the audio source device.

Connect the ADAT output of the VN16 to the ADAT input of the audio source device.

Connect the word clock output of the audio source device to the word clock input
on your Avid Live Sound System.

ADAT I/O

This mode provides sixteen ADAT I/O channels. ADAT connectors

AUDIO 1–8

and

AUDIO 9–16

serve as a general-purpose I/O interface that can be patched using the

FOH

tab in Patchbay (1–16). These channels provide additional Avid Live Sound Sys-

tem I/O, and do not perform automatic mixing. You must select a synchronization
source to use this mode.

To set ADAT I/O mode:

Set the rear panel AUTOMIX / IO 16 switch to IO 16 (down).
