DOGS

Si DOGS (Direct Out Gain Stabiliser) is a tool to help maintain stored gain structure when
multiple devices are sharing a single source. When enabled, this facility adjusts the direct
output level from each channel inversely to any manual change of a mic gain control (within
the range of +16/-10db) on that channel. This allows the direct outputs to feed to a second
console, recording system or similar with the feed to the 2nd item not affected by user
changing the gain control.
The facility is turned ON/OFF globally from the PREFS menu with the offset cleared each
time a cue is recalled or the DOGS function is turned off.
NOTE: DOGS operates on a cue-by-cue basis against any manual adjustment to mic amp
gain, it is not an offset that offset that ripples through to subsequent uses.
NOTE: When disabling DOGS any offsets are reset which may result in an increase/
decrease in level on any systems fed from the Si Compact direct outputs.
NOTE: DOGS is intended for use live, DOGS offsets are NOT stored with any cue or cue
update.
