Dan Dugan Model N Automatic Mixing Controller

The Dugan Model N 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. Each mic channel is processed in the Dugan controller and returned to the console for mixing.

The Dugan 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 faders. The Model N crossfades unscripted dialogue, eliminating cue- ing mistakes, comb filtering from adjacent mics, and late fade-ups, while avoiding the choppy and distracting effects common to noise gates.
