Dugan D-2 Automatic Mixing Processor Package

This automatic mixing controller helps professional audio mixers handle multiple live mikes. The eight-channel processor unit patches into the insert points of an audio mixing console. It knows who's talking and makes fast, transparent cross-fades, freeing the mixer to focus on balance and sound quality instead of being chained to the faders. Users find it invaluable in broadcasting, sound reinforcement, recording, and live performance. The D-2's voice-controlled cross-fades follow unpredictable dialogue seamlessly, eliminating cuing mistakes and late fade-ups without the choppy effects of gating. Built-in expandability allows linking units for up to 64 channels to handle the biggest jobs.

The D-2's "last hold" function provides continuous ambience when desired with the Music System. The "auto mix depth" control sets the amount of automatic attenuation for each control group. When the momentary "override" button is pressed, the system fades rapidly to the combination of inputs selected by the override preset switches on each channel. The Model D's "preset" button shifts the system smoothly to the default combination of manual, automatic, and mute modes for the channels as programmed on the preset switches. This combination also comes up when power is turned on. A momentary "mute" button allows smoothly dumping all channels without disturbing other settings.

This package includes The D-2 Processor and Control Panel.
