8.3 DCA/Mute Groups
Touch the DCA/Mute Assign block to show assignments for the selected channel.
Digitally Controlled Amplifiers (DCA’s) control the send levels and mutes of multiple
channels with a single fader and mute key.
Mute groups are used to mute multiple channels using a single SoftKey.
• Touch ‘Assign’ buttons to assign or unassign the selected channel to DCA’s or
Mute Groups.
• Touch the ‘View’ buttons to see all channels currently assigned to that DCA or
Mute Group at once.
• Touch and drag up and down in a ‘View’ window to see all channels.
• Channels can be assigned or unassigned by touching assignment buttons.
• Touch the DCA/Mute Assign ‘blocks’ to return to the selected channel
assignments view.
In both ‘Processing’ and ‘Routing’ screens, DCA channels display a list of up to 28
channel ‘Members’ (channels assigned to that DCA). If there are more members than
this, then ‘…’ will appear at the bottom of the list.
• Touch anywhere on a DCA member list to view and assign or unassign channels.
 DCA’s are for control only, and do not sum or carry signal, and therefore do not have
processing or metering functionality.
 Pressing the PAFL key on a DCA fader strip is the equivalent of using additive PAFL on
every member of the DCA. When engaged, PAFL keys of the DCA members will flash.
 When muting DCA’s or Mute Groups, the mute keys of the assigned channels will flash.
If a channel is also muted independently, the duration of illumination will change to
indicate this.
 The ‘DCA Spill’ feature allows you to ‘spill’ DCA members across the channel strips. See
the DCA Spill section for more information.
