Yamaha DUGAN-MY16 Automatic Mixing Controller Card

Professional Automation for Multi-microphone Mixing

The Dugan-MY16 is an automatic mixing card for Yamaha digital mixers that employs advanced technology from Dan Dugan Sound Design. When multiple microphone inputs need to be mixed without a script or pre-planned gain changes, the Dugan-MY16 can automatically optimize gain distribution over multiple faders so that the engineer is free to concentrate on the quality of the mix, rather than being chained to the faders. It's almost like having a talented assistant engineer keeping track of fader levels, lightening the overall workload and maximizing efficiency.
