Chapter 1: Introduction
The Dugan Model M Automatic Mixing Controller helps professional audio mixers
handle multiple live mics without having to continually ride their individual faders.
This signal processor patches into the input insert points of an audio mixing console.
It detects which mics are being used and makes fast, transparent cross-fades, freeing
the mixer to focus on balance and sound quality instead of being chained to the fad-
ers. The Model M tracks unscripted dialogue, eliminating cueing mistakes and late
fade-ups, while avoiding the choppy and distracting effects common to noise gates.
The Model M includes three patented automatic mixing algorithms:
•Dugan Speech System™for all dialog applications
•Dugan Music System™for mixing a musical group
•Dugan Gain Limiting™for reducing feedback when using the Music System
The Model M can:
• connect up to 64 channels (MADI), or 16 channels (ADAT);
• be remote controlled from the Dugan Control Panel for Java (included) and Dugan
Control Panel for iPad (sold separately);
• be physically controlled from its own front panel;
• be remote controlled from the Dugan Model K Tactile Control Panel;
• link with other Dugan automatic mixing controllers to create a larger system;
• partition channels into one to three groups that can span linked units;
• create separate systems that do not interact (i.e., for separate studios);
• conveniently connect multiple devices via three network ports;
• be powered by PoE.
