Dan Dugan Model D-2 8 Channel Live Automatic Microphone Mixing Controller

The Model D-2 Automatic Mixing Controller helps professional audio mixers handle multiple live mikes. The eight-channel processor unit patches into the insert points of an audio mixing console. The Model D-2 knows who's talking and makes fast, transparent cross-fades, freeing the mixer to focus on balance and sound quality instead of being chained to the faders. Users find it invaluable in broadcasting, sound reinforcement, recording, and live performance. The D-2's voice-controlled cross-fades follow unpredictable dialogue seamlessly, eliminating cuing mistakes and late fade-ups without the choppy effects of gating. Built-in expandability allows linking units for up to 64 channels to handle the biggest jobs.
