San Francisco, CA — Dan Dugan Sound Design will show the new E-1 Automatic Mixing Controller at the Audio Engineering Society convention, October 2 – 5, 2008 in booth # 1128.

The E-1 Automatic Mixing Controller replaces the Model E as Dugan’s economy model. The E-1 provides eight channels of signal processing and patches into the input insert points of an audio mixing console. The product detects which microphones are being used and makes fast, transparent cross-fades, freeing the operator to focus on balance and sound quality instead of having to pay constant attention to the faders.

The new model incorporates key features requested by Model E users:

• In addition to analog I/O, the E-1 has two pairs of ADAT connectors, one pair for digital I/O and one pair for linking. The E-1 can be linked with the Models D-2, D-3, and E.

• A back panel switch changes the input from analog (TRS insert connectors) to digital (Lightpipe). Both analog and digital outputs are always active simultaneously.

The Model E-1 is expected to be useful in events staging, conference sound reinforcement, houses of worship, video trucks, reality shows, theaters, government chambers, distance learning, and teleconferencing.

Dan Dugan said “I’m pleased to be able to respond to our users’ needs. The Model E represented an affordable alternative for users who found the cost of our high end products out of reach; the E-1 further meets our users’ requirements by adding these new features.”

The E-1 Automatic Mixing Controller sells for $3,199.00 and is now shipping.
