ASSIGN screen
Allows you configure recall safe and mute safe settings, DCA group assignments, signals sent
to the SUB bus, etc.
1 Recall Safe button
Turns Recall Safe on and off for the corresponding channel.
You can display the RECALL SAFE screen by touching the jump button in the right corner
of the Recall Safe button. (page 38)
2 Mute Safe button
You can temporarily exclude certain channels from a mute group.
If you mute a mute group, any channels in that group that have mute safe enabled will
not be muted.
3 ST button
Turns the channel's assignment to the stereo channel on and off.
4 SUB button
Determines whether the channel's signal is sent (on) or not sent (off) to the SUB bus.
5 SUB level slider
Determines the amount of signal sent from the selected channel to the SUB bus.
6 DCA buttons
Turns the channel's assignment to each DCA group (1–8) on and off.
You can assign a channel to multiple DCA groups if desired.
7 Mute buttons (V4.0 and later)
Turns the channel's assignment to mute groups 3–6 on and off.
You can assign a channel to multiple mute groups if desired.
You cannot change the assignments for MUTE1 INPUT and MUTE2 FX.
AUTOMIXER screen (V3.5 and later)
Sets the AUTOMIXER that can be used for CH1–CH8.
About the AUTOMIXER
The AUTOMIXER is a function for automating the sound mixing of conversation heard in
conferences, talk shows and so on. This function detects mics that are enabled and
automatically optimizes the gain distribution to maintain a consistent system gain with multiple
mics, eliminating the need for the engineer to keep watching the fader levels.
How the AUTOMIXER works
The TF series AUTOMIXER uses the Dugan speech system, which automatically adjusts the
gain of up to 8 mics.
Unlike limiters or auto-level controllers, the Dugan speech system lets the engineer control
individual levels as usual, even when more than one person is talking at the same time. Also,
the audio on the mics is detected and the gain is automatically distributed when no one is
talking, so the faders can be left up.

When one person speaks,
while using multiple mics
When two people speak,
while using multiple mics
When one person talks, the gain on that mic
instantly rises, and the gain on other mics is
lowered. This works the same when another
person speaks.
When two people talk at the same time, the gain
between the two mics is automatically distributed
to provide a uniform total gain, and the gain on the
remaining mic is lowered.
NOTE
• The AUTOMIXER is placed directly after the channel ON for CH1–CH8.
• When the Pre button for SEND TO AUX on CH1–CH8 is off, signal is sent from directly after the
AUTOMIXER to the AUX bus.
• When CH1–CH8 are stereo linked together, the AUTOMIXER parameters will not be linked.
