theibcdaily Automatic for the audio people Dan Dugan Sound Design By Michael Burns
Newly integrated automatic microphone mixing technology is being shown for the first time in audio products from three major manufacturers at IBC. A new implementation of Dugan processing has been added to the Yamaha's new CL Series consoles. These compact consoles support a wide range of applications and offer Dante networking for system expansion. Sixteen channels of Dugan Speech System automatic mixing will be incorporated as a standard in these products, allowing the user to quickly insert Dugan processing for automatically optimised microphone gain distribution. Along with automatically managing gain of live microphones, the system effectively reduces feedback, studio noise and comb filtering to allow operators to focus on overall system performance. Dugan integration was announced earlier this year in the company’s QL Series mixers. The Dugan technology in the CL and QL Series consoles is built-in and does not require any external hardware. A plug-in card, the Dugan- VN16, has been developed and released in partnership with Avid. This 16-channel automatic mixing controller plugs into a slot on selected Avid digital mixers and patches into the Avid’s mic channel insert points. The VN16 uses the Dugan Speech System to detect which mics are being
Marshall supplies monitors
Marshall is supplying IBC with more than 20 monitors for use in various aspects of the show, via Shooting Partners, including: two of its 4K- compatible Quad HD-SDI to DVI multiviewers; six of the new V-MD 902 dual 9-inch LCD rack mount monitor with modular input and output; nine of its latest V-LCD17 HR 17- inch rack mount or desktop monitors with 3G-SDI or Dual HD-SDI; and two of its new V- LCD 71 MD 3G 7-inch 1920x1080 on-camera monitors with modular inputs and outputs. 11.D20

used and makes fast, transparent crossfades. It can be configured with 16 automixing
channels or 8 automixing channels and 8 channels of ADAT I/O, and may be linked with up to seven other Dugans. The Dugan Automixer plug-in from Waves Audio is a software
emulation of the Dugan Speech System for Waves MultiRack Native and MultiRack SoundGrid systems.
Like all Dugan automatic mixing controllers, this software
automatically manages the gains of multiple microphones in realtime to create fast, transparent cross-fades. It dramatically reduces feedback, studio noise and comb filtering from adjacent mics without introducing sonic artefacts. 8.C95
