Chapter 2: Quickstart
This section provides step-by-step instructions to help you get started quickly using
the Dugan Speech System to mix up to eight channels. Twelve- and sixteen-channel
I/O is available using the Dugan Control Panel software. See Chapter 5: Dugan Control
Panel Software to learn about these options.
1. Connect the provided power supply to the Model E-2.
2. Hold the channel 1 bypass button down and power up the unit. Keep holding the
bypass button down for three seconds until the unit finishes booting.
This System Reset command sets all parameters to factory default settings and
clears label text.
We recommend executing a System Reset before starting a new installation. This
is just like zeroing a console before a show.
3. Set the NORM-SLAVE switch on the rear panel to NORM (up) for unlinked operation.
The Model E-2 can be interfaced using balanced analog or digital optical connec-
tors:
4. Analog: Move the ANA-DIGI switch on the rear panel to the ANA (up) position.
The DB25 connectors carry balanced analog signals. Each connector provides four
inputs and four outputs.

Digital: Move the ANA-DIGI switch on the rear panel to the DIGI (down) position,
connect the console ADAT output to AUD IN, and connect AUD OUT to the console’s
ADAT input.
5. Whenever possible, route each Model E-2 channel as a post-fader, pre-compressor
insert to each mic channel.
