Connections
Model M channels are patched as inserts to your console’s input channels. Where
they are inserted depends on whether you are using the Dugan Speech System (see
page 12), the Dugan Music System (see page 14), or both.
NOTE: When an actor both sings and speaks, it is best to route the same mic through two
Dugan channels (one for the Music and one for the Speech System) and switch be-
tween them. See Musical Theater on page 50 for more information.
Audio I/O
The rear panel has the following connectors: MADI, Word Clock, ADAT, network
connectors, and power. It also has two switches:
MADI–ADAT and NORM–SLAVE.
Figure 3-1 Model M rear panel connectors
The MADI–ADAT switch selects whether the input is derived from the MADI (up posi-
tion) or ADAT (down position) connectors. In the ADAT position, the LINK connectors are
re-purposed to carry eight additional ADAT channels, so linking multiple units is not
possible (see Linking on page 19).
MADI
MADI I/O can use a dual SC optical cable for input and output or two BNC coaxial
connectors for input and output. The Model M automatically selects the active input.
If signal is present at both inputs, optical is selected.
Select the desired cable and connect the appropriate MADI ports on your console and
the Dugan.
MADI connections can carry up to 64 audio channels. You can select a block of chan-
nels for Dugan processing. MADI channels not assigned to the Dugan are passed
through unprocessed. MADI channels are assigned from the unit’s front panel (see
page 56).
