Chapter 4: Stand-alone Operation
This chapter tells you how to operate the Model E-2 stand-alone (i.e., without the
physical Model CP-2 Control Panel or the software Dugan Control Panel for Java or
iPad).
Settings
1. Put all the live mic channels in automatic mixing mode by deactivating bypass
and mute.
2. Activate the mute buttons for all unused channels.

3. Using a normal speaking voice, adjust the console input trim controls to the highest
possible gain without clipping.
The input gain to the Model E-2 should be high enough keep the level LED lit
green during silences. If the input trim controls do not provide enough level, set
the +4/-10 switch to the -10 position.
If the preamp gain controls are set too low, the inputs drop below their minimum
operating level. This causes downward expansion to prevent feedback but the
smooth ambience is disrupted.
