Dugan Automixer
In a system used for unscripted speech, the automixer detects the mics that are in use and
automatically optimizes the gain distribution, maintaining a consistent system gain between
multiple mics without requiring an engineer to be constantly adjusting the faders.
The Dugan Automixer provided on the DME7 can automatically adjust the automix gain for
up to 64 mics used for speech.
In this explanation, we describe using the Dugan Automixer with three mics.
When one person is speaking
When two people are speaking
Mic input audio (dB)
Mic input audio (dB)
Automix gain (dB)
Automix gain (dB)
When one person speaks, the gain of that
mic instantly rises, and the gain of the other
mics decreases. The same thing happens
when a different person speaks.
When two people speak simultaneously, the
gain is automatically distributed between
the two mics so that the total gain remains
constant, and the gain of the remaining mic
decreases.
The Dugan Automixer differs from the functionality of a limiter or an auto level controller.
When multiple people are speaking, the engineer can use the faders to adjust individual
levels as usual. Even when nobody is speaking, the mic audio level is detected and the gain
is distributed automatically, so the faders can be left raised.
