Las Vegas, NV, InfoComm booth N2070 — Dan Dugan Sound Design will demonstrate the Model D-2 and D-3 Automatic Mixing Controllers at InfoComm 2010. Designed for a wide range of applications, these products incorporate three Dugan-patented technologies: the Dugan Speech Systemâ„¢, which automatically manages any number of live microphones in unscripted talking situations; the Dugan Music Systemâ„¢, which offers automatic downward expansion to help reduce feedback and noise pick-up in live performance venues, and the Dugan Gain Limiting Systemâ„¢, which provides a continuous NOM (number of open mics) master gain adjusting system to prevent feedback and ambient noise build-up.

“The combination of these three technologies make the D-2 and D-3 unique tools for broadcasting, sound reinforcement, recording, teleconferencing, distance learning and live performance,� said Dan Dugan. “With Dugan automatic mixing technologies, users eliminate cueing mistakes and late fade- ups; mixing of live mics is transparent.�

The Model D-2, offering analog I/O, and D-3 with AES digital I/O patch into the insert points of an audio mixing console. Both products identify talkers and make fast, seamless cross-fades. “The Dugan Speech System is particularly appreciated for its continuous ambience, which always sounds like one open mic in the room no matter how many mics are being mixed,� said Dugan. Additional functions of the products include hard-wire bypass of individual channels, a programmable preset for returning to a normal setup, and a programmable override mode that can be used to help the chairperson quash unruly debate.
