Dugan Model K Control Surface User Guide Chapter 1: Introduction The Model K Control Surface provides a physical control surface for any number of Dugan automatic mixing controllers on a local area network. Multiple Model Ks can be used to instantly access more channels, or to let multiple operators run the system. We recommend using the Dugan Control Panel software to set up a system, and the Model K to operate it. It is possible, however, to make most settings from the Model K if desired.
