Model E-2 Modes
The Model E-2 is an eight-channel audio processor offering three Dugan algorithms.
However, it can operate in twelve- or sixteen-channel modes with reduced features.
See Chapter 3: Installation and Configuration to learn how to choose a mode with the
#ch button during installation.
Eight-channel
• The Dugan Speech System™ provides automatic mixing for eight live mics.
• The Dugan Music System™ offers automatic downward expansion to help reduce
feedback and bleed in live music performances (i.e., opera, background vocals).
Thresholds are adjusted automatically by monitoring ambient noise levels.
• Dugan Gain Limiting™ monitors the number-of-open-mics (NOM) and adjusts
the master gain to prevent feedback or ambient noise build-up. Dugan Gain
Limiting should be used with the Dugan Music System to reduce feedback and
noise. It can perform the same functions when mics are switched on and off
manually.
• Linking creates one large automatic mixing system with multiple Dugan units.
• An internal mix bus matrix routes processed or unprocessed inputs to four mix
bus outputs.
• Unprocessed outputs are provided: analog inputs are mirrored at the digital out-
put, and vice versa. This provides convenient pre-processing signals for multitrack
recording.
Twelve-channel
• The Dugan Speech System™ provides automatic mixing for twelve live mics.
• Linking creates one large automatic mixing system with multiple Dugan units.
Sixteen-channel
• The Dugan Speech System™ provides automatic mixing for sixteen live mics.
This is a digital connection that uses both the AUD and LINK ADAT optical connectors.
