Extron electronic DMP 64 Ducker Tutorials, Ducking and Priority Ducking, To set a ducking source

Ducker Tutorials

The examples below are based on different input configurations. Insert a ducker from a ducker processor block using one of the following methods:

Double-click the block,	-or-	Right-click the box to open context
then click Ducker		menu, then click Insert Ducker

Once inserted, double-click on the ducker block to open the ducker configuration dialog box. The Enable Mic/Line Source box is checked.

Ducking and Priority Ducking

The first inserted channel ducks all selected targets.

To set a ducking source:

1.Insert a ducking processor to input #1.

2.Open the ducker configuration box and select the desired duck targets. In this example inputs #2 to #6 are the ducking targets.

A signal on input #1 that exceeds the ducking threshold now ducks inputs #2 to #6.

The ducking processor also provides a means to have an additional input duck other targets using the priority feature. The second input ducks its selected duck targets, and can also be ducked by the first ducking source.

To set an additional ducking source:

1.Insert a ducking processor on the additional ducking source.

In this example, input #2 is the second ducking source, with input #1, as shown above, as the first source.

NOTE: Since it was previously selected as a ducking target, Input #1 is not available as a target of input #2.

2.Open the ducking dialog window for the input and select the desired duck targets. In this example inputs #5 and #6 are the ducking targets of input #2.

Any signal on input #2 that exceeds the ducking threshold now ducks inputs #5 and #6. The ducking targets can be changed at any time by double‑clicking the input #2 ducking processor block.

If a signal on input #1 exceeds the ducking threshold, inputs #2 to #6 are still ducked regardless

of whether the signal on input #2 exceeds its ducking threshold.

NOTE: No input is ducked more than the level set in the by (dB): box.
