Example: module #2 configured as a DUCKER, audio input IN6 and zones 1, 3, 13 and 15 enabled for priority broadcasting of IN6
signal when it exceeds the threshold, attenuating the existing audio content in the affected outputs
Knobs on the lower part of the section are used to adjust the way the DUCKER function performs:
 THRESHOLD: activation threshold. When the module's input signal (INPUT selector) exceeds
this threshold, the DUCKER function is activated, sending the signal to the destination zones
and attenuating the other audio signals sent to the same zones (-80 to 0 dB)
 DEPTH: attenuation applied on the rest of the signals sent to the destination zone(s) during
the time the DUCKER function is active (0 to 80 dB)
 ATTACK: attack time. Determines the time the DUCKER takes to respond when the level
rises above the threshold (activating the attenuation of other signals in the destination zones).
The range covers from 5 ms to 2 s
 HOLD: amount of time the DUCKER function remains active once the signal falls back below
the detection threshold. Adjustment range from 10 ms to 3 s
 RELEASE: determines the time elapsed until attenuation stops after the time fixed for HOLD.
In this case, the range covers from 50 ms to 3 s.
