Musical Theater
When an actor sings and speaks, like in musical theater, it is best to switch between
the Dugan Music and Speech Systems.
If your console allows separate pre- and post-fader insert points:
1. Patch two channels on the Dugan for each singing/speaking mic: One
(pre-fader) for the Music System, and the second for the Speech System
(post-fader).
2. To automate switching between singing and speaking, use scenes on the
console to alternately activate the appropriate insert, or switch channel
modes between auto and man using scenes on the Dugan (see Scenes Panel
on page 41).
For example, when the actor sings, the Speech System channel would be
in man mode while the Music System channel is in auto mode.
If your console does not allow separate pre- and post-fader insert points:
1. Patch the Dugan post-fader.
2. Activate music for the channel when the actor sings.
3. To automate switching between singing and speaking, use scenes on the
Dugan to toggle the music button (see Scenes Panel on page 41).
