Using Dan Dugan Sound Design technology, it automatically distributes gain among active microphones, supporting 16 channels at 44.1 or 48 kHz and eight channels at 88.2 or 96 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDesigned for conferences, broadcast production, houses of worship, panel discussions, and other unscripted multi-microphone applications, the DUGAN-MY16 reduces the need for constant manual fader riding. The Dugan Speech System automatically recognizes active microphones and adjusts individual and overall gain while maintaining natural room ambience and avoiding the abrupt opening and closing associated with conventional noise-gate automixing.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThree operating modes adapt the card to different workflows. Standard mode provides 16-channel automixing, High-Rate mode delivers eight channels at sample rates up to 96 kHz, and Shared mode combines eight automixer channels with eight channels of general-purpose ADAT optical I\/O. Multiple units can also be optically linked for larger microphone systems.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e16-Channel Automatic Mixing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides 16 input and 16 output channels of Dugan automixing at 44.1 or 48 kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e96 kHz High-Rate Operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports eight channels of automatic microphone mixing at 88.2 or 96 kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDugan Speech System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatically distributes available gain among active microphones instead of relying on threshold-based gating.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShared ADAT Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combines eight channels of Dugan automixing with eight channels of general-purpose 24-bit ADAT optical I\/O.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThree Independent Groups:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows channels to be divided into as many as three separate automatic mixer groups.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eExpandable Automixing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Links up to eight units in a ring for systems requiring substantially greater microphone channel capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRemote Software Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dugan Control Panel software provides remote operation and level monitoring from compatible computers.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLow Processing Latency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintains a specified 0.2 ms audio latency with unity gain through the card.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eDugan Speech System Automatic Gain Management\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe DUGAN-MY16 does not simply mute microphones that fall below a fixed threshold. Instead, the Dugan Speech System continuously distributes system gain according to which microphones are receiving speech. When one participant speaks, that microphone receives greater gain while inactive channels are reduced. When several people speak, available gain is shared among those active channels.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThree Operating Modes for Different Workflows\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eStandard mode provides 16 channels of Dugan processing at 44.1 or 48 kHz. High-Rate mode provides eight channels at 88.2 or 96 kHz for systems operating at higher sample rates. Shared mode supplies eight channels of automixing alongside eight channels of general-purpose ADAT optical digital I\/O.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eExpandable Multi-Microphone Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo ADAT optical connectors allow compatible Dugan units to be linked in a ring. Yamaha specifies support for linking as many as eight units, enabling systems with up to 128 automatic mixing channels at 48 kHz or 64 channels at 96 kHz when configured with multiple DUGAN-MY16 cards.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eRemote Control and Level Monitoring\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Ethernet connection supports Dugan Control Panel software for remote configuration and visual level monitoring. Yamaha identifies the software for Windows and Mac workflows, allowing engineers to observe automixer activity and adjust supported parameters without depending solely on the host mixer's control surface.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yamaha\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e DUGAN-MY16\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic Microphone Mixing Controller Card\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProcessing Resolution:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24-bit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStandard Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 channels of Dugan mixing at 44.1 or 48 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Rate Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 channels of Dugan mixing at 88.2 or 96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShared Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 channels of Dugan mixing plus 8 channels of general-purpose ADAT I\/O\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic Mixing I\/O:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 input \/ 16 output at 44.1 or 48 kHz; 8 input \/ 8 output at 88.2 or 96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDigital I\/O:\u003c\/strong\u003e ADAT optical, 24-bit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAudio Latency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 ms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic Mixer Groups:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 3 independent groups\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOptical Linking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 8 units linked in a ring\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Dugan Linking Models:\u003c\/strong\u003e D-2, D-3, E, E-1, DUGAN-MY16\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Linked Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 128 channels at 48 kHz or 64 channels at 96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNetwork Connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e RJ-45, 10\/100BASE-T\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLinking and Digital I\/O Connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 ADAT optical connectors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eControl Software:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dugan Control Panel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Yamaha Mixers and Processors:\u003c\/strong\u003e CL5, CL3, CL1, PM5D, PM5D-RH, DSP5D, M7CL-48ES, M7CL-48, M7CL-32, LS9-32, LS9-16, DM2000, DM1000, 02R96, 01V96, 01V96i, DME64N, DME24N, MTX5-D\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.7\" W x 1.6\" H x 6.9\" D\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 lb\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 lb\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ToneCraft Gear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68171224121648,"sku":"YMHA-DEKDUGAN","price":337.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/3067\/6272\/files\/1-yamaha-dek-dugan_82c896a4-5d22-46b3-b294-b8f6878cd009.jpg?v=1792856591","url":"https:\/\/tonecraftgear.shop\/products\/yamaha-dugan-my16-16-channel-automatic-microphone-mixing-card","provider":"ToneCraft Gear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
