Chapter 1: Introduction
The Dugan-MY16 is a 16-channel automatic mixing controller that plugs into a slot
on Yamaha digital mixers. This multichannel audio signal processor patches into the
Yamaha’s mic channel insert points. The MY16 detects which mics are being used,
and makes fast, transparent crossfades. This eliminates late upcuts, reduces system
noise and feedback, and lets the engineer focus on balance and sound quality.
The Dugan-MY16 enhances a diverse group of live applications that require multiple
mics:
• Conference reinforcement, video trucks
• Houses of worship
• Film and television dialogue, reality shows
• Theater
• Boardrooms, civic meetings, community TV
• Teleconferencing and distance learning
The Dugan-MY16 is operated from the Dugan Control Panel for Java (included). The
Dugan Control Panel for iPad (sold separately) performs the same function on an iPad.
Dugan-MY16 User Guide

Theory of Operation
The Dugan-MY16 uses the Dugan Speech System™, a patented and trademarked
automatic mixing function that distributes the gain of one open microphone over
the entire system. This results in a natural one-mic ambience with minimal noise
or feedback. The Dugan Speech System does not limit, compress, or control levels. It per-
forms just one critical function: cuing multiple live mics in situations with unpre-
dictable dialogue. It is essential to distinguish this behavior from the distracting
fluctuation of levels and uneven ambience produced by a conventional noise gate.
When one person talks at a time, the Dugan Speech System rapidly fades that mic’s
gain up and the others down. When the speaker pauses, that mic fades down and the
others up, so the gain of all mics sums to equal that of one mic at full gain. When
the next person talks, the system fades that mic’s gain up and the others down. The
result sounds like passing one mic among several speakers.
When several people talk at once, the gain is shared among active mics. All mics sound
normal when used but there is no change in ambience, noise buildup, or feedback.
While people are talking, use the Yamaha mixer’s faders to set appropriate relative
levels for each mic channel. You can leave the faders up when the mics are not used
because the Dugan Speech System cues the mics up when needed.
Figure 1-1 shows four snapshots of the Dugan Speech System in action with three
mics.

Frame 1: No one is speaking and the sound levels at all mics are low. The system fades
all channels to a medium gain that sums to one mic at full gain.
Frame 2: One person speaks alone. The system automatically fades their gain to full,
and turns the other two inputs down.
Frame 3: The first person finishes speaking and a second person begins. The system
automatically fades the new speaker’s input gain to full, and turns the other two down.
Frame 4: Two people speak simultaneously. The system automatically shares the
gain between them, and turns the other input down.
Remote Control and Software
Two Java applets are included on a thumb drive or CD, or can be downloaded from
our website:
• The Dugan Control Panel offers expanded operational capabilities (see Chapter 3:
The Dugan Control Panel).
• The Dugan Utility helps you connect to a network and update the firmware (see
Chapter 4: Updates).
The Dugan-MY16 can be controlled with:

Chapter 2: Installation and Linking
This chapter explains how to:
• Install Dugan-MY16 card(s);
• Install the Dugan Control Panel for Dugan-MY16 cards and external Dugans;
• Link Dugan-MY16 cards and external Dugans into a single unified automatic mix-
ing controller.
Installing the Dugan-MY16 Card
Most Yamaha mixers have multiple slots, each of which has 16 channels. The Dugan-
MY16 can be installed in any available slot. The table below shows the current list of
Yamaha mixers that are compatible with the Dugan-MY16.
See YamahaProAudioSupport for the most up to date list.
To begin installing your Dugan-MY16, find your mixer model in the table below, and
set the Native
–Legacy switch accordingly. The Native–Legacy switch maintains Ya-
maha’s compatibility with its older mixers. Some older Yamaha mixers that require
the Legacy setting do not display the correct names for plug-in cards in their insert
patching screen.
* With LS9 firmware v1.21 or earlier, the LS9 insert patch points are pre-fader only. To properly mute
mixer channels, you must use the Dugan Control Panel for Java (included) or the Dugan Control Panel
for iPad (sold separately).

Choose an Operating Mode
The operating mode determines sample rate, linking, and channel count. Set the
Yamaha mixer’s sample rate before setting the operating mode (see your Yamaha
mixer’s user guide to learn how).
Choose one of the three operating modes:
Standard
Sixteen Dugan mixing channels at 44.1 or 48 kHz
ADAT I/O connectors can link multiple Dugan units
High-rate
Eight Dugan mixing channels at 88.2 or 96 kHz
ADAT I/O connectors can link multiple Dugan units
Shared
Eight Dugan mixing channels at 44.1 or 48 kHz
The ADAT I/O connectors serve as a general-purpose interface that is available
for patching on channels 9–16 of the Dugan-MY16’s slot. These channels are
unrelated to Dugan mixing and can be used as additional Yamaha mixer I/O.
To use channels 9–16 (as with any digital input), an appropriate synchroniza-
tion source must be selected (see your Yamaha mixer’s user guide).
Dugan-MY16 User Guide Installation and Linking
15
To configure and install the Dugan-MY16 card:
1. Set the 48 kHz–96 kHz sample rate switch according the table below.
The sample rate switch represents low (44.1 or 48 kHz) and high (88.2 or 96 kHz)
settings, respectively, that must correspond to your mixer’s current sample rate.
For example,
If your mixer is set to 44.1 kHz, use the 48 kHz position.
If your mixer is set to 88.2 kHz, use the 96 kHz position.
Figure 2-1 Circuit board and rear panel switches
2. Install the Dugan-MY16 card according to the instructions in your mixer’s user
guide.
3. Turn on the mixer.
If you are using Shared mode, an appropriate synchronization source must be
selected for channels 9–16. See your Yamaha mixer’s user guide for details.
4. Press and hold the RESET button for 3 seconds to restore the Dugan-MY16’s factory
default settings.
5. Set the rear panel LINK–AUDIO switch to the position corresponding to the selected

7. Use your mixer’s channel select button to select the first mixer channel in which
to insert the Dugan-MY16.
Refer to your Yamaha mixer user guide to display the insert patching screen.
Legacy mixers will identify the card on the insert patching screen as either MY16AT
or MY8AE96.
8. Insert the Dugan-MY16 as a post-fader insert on this mic channel.
NOTE: LS9 mixers with firmware version 1.2 and older do not allow post-fader inserts. You must
either update the LS9’s firmware, use the Dugan Control Panel for Java (included), or the
Dugan Control Panel for iPad (sold separately).
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 for each additional mixer mic channel in which you wish to
insert the Dugan-MY16.
No further configuration is required to operate the Dugan-MY16. We designed nom-
inal settings that work fine out of the box, which comes in handy if you are pressed
for time before an event. However, to take full advantage of the Dugan-MY16’s ad-
vanced features, we recommend installing the Dugan Control Panel software.
Connecting to a Computer or Network
To connect to a computer or network, attach a CAT5 cable to the rear panel
10/100BASE-T connector. Older PCs may require a crossover cable.
We strongly recommend that Windows users turn the Windows firewall off. The
Windows Firewall blocks port 9776 used by the Dugan software to communicate. If
you must leave the Windows firewall on, either open this port or use the workaround
described in Connecting when Windows Firewall is On on page 21.
We recommend turning off the computer’s WiFi during this process because it some-
times interferes. You can turn it back on after the connection has been established.
To set a specific IP address, proceed to Software Configuration for a Specific IP Address.
Two Java applets are provided with the Dugan-MY16:
• The Dugan Control Panel offers expanded operational capabilities.
• The Dugan Utility helps you connect to a network and update the firmware.

Level Indicator
Each channel has a level LED that lights green when the audio level is adequate for
automatic mixing. It should remain green when no one is talking.
•Ifthelevel indicator blinks, raise the Yamaha mixer’s input gain.
•Ifthelevel LED lights red, lower the Yamaha mixer’s input gain until it stays green
at all times.

To deactivate bypass, you can:
• Click bypass again;
-OR-
• Click any of the three channel mode buttons.
Channel Modes
Man
Changing channel modes initiates a half-second fade to the new mode. Like radio
buttons, you can only choose one mode at a time.
Figure 3-5 Channel modes
In man mode there is no automixing, and the signal passes through at unity gain.
Man and bypass modes perform similar functions, but we recommend using man dur-
ing live mixing to prevent clicks.

Channel Groups
Each channel can be assigned to one group: a, b, or c. Each group functions as a sep-
arate, independent automatic mixer that can span multiple linked Dugans.
Applications where groups are helpful include:
• Separate Rooms: Assign the mics in each room to different groups so they func-
tion as separate automatic mixers.
• Stereo Panning: Assign the mics panned left, right, and center to groups a, b, and
c, respectively, to maintain a stable stereo ambience.
To assign a channel to a group, click the group button until the desired group letter ap-
pears. The channel strip background is tinted green (
group b) or blue (group c); group a is
not tinted (Figure 3-7). A set of
OVERRIDE, PRESET, and MUTE buttons appears in the
Master Pane for each group.
Figure 3-7 Channel groups
Channel Override
Override can be used to instantly mute all mics except one (the host or chairperson).
However, any number of mics can be included in the override group.
To assign channels to an override group, activate the
override button on each channel.
Pressing the Master
OVERRIDE button puts channels with their override buttons lit into
man mode. All other channels are muted. Press the OVERRIDE button again to restore
normal automixing operation.

Meters
The meters have three display modes.
Table 3-1 Meter modes
The default meter display is auto mix gain. This is the most useful choice during normal
operation; the input and output meters are only used when setting or checking levels.
Click on the Master
meters button to toggle through the three meter display modes.
Weight
The weight controls set the side-chain levels for each channel into the control system.
This establishes the relative sensitivity of the automatic mix for the channels in use.
They do not change the mix levels. When the
weight controls are balanced, each mic has
an equal opportunity to take over the system: when one person talks into one mic,
he/she gets all the
auto mix gain and the others get turned down.
Figure 3-8 Weight controls
The weight controls should be used to balance the channel auto mix gain indicators
when no one is talking. If a board preamp trimmer is turned down, that channel’s
weight control can be turned up to re-balance the automixing, and vice-versa.
Weights can be changed by dragging the sliders or by entering dB values in the win-
dows below the sliders. Ctrl-click the
weight slider to reset its value to 0.
Touch and hold the weight slider to reset its value to 0.

It is important to understand that the Speech System works by detecting the ratios of
the levels between channels, not their absolute levels. The
weight control is not a gate
threshold!
The following example explains how weight works (see Figure 3-9).
Raising the
weight control for one channel:
• increases that channel’s auto mix gain display during ambience and decreases it
slightly for the others;
• makes it more difficult for others to speak when someone speaks into the channel
with the higher weight setting.
It is important to understand that this does not set that mic’s level in the mix when
that person speaks alone, but only its sensitivity during automatic mixing compared to
other channels.
Figure 3-9 Changing one channel’s weight control
Lowering the weight control for one channel:
• decreases the auto mix gain display during ambience for that channel and increases
it slightly for the others;
• makes it more difficult for that channel’s talker to be heard over the others.

For optimal performance, balance the weight controls so the channel gains display ap-
proximately equally when no one is talking. If there is ongoing noise near one mic (e.g.,
computer fan or air vent), suppress it by reducing that channel’s
weight. Of course, you
will hear that noise increase when that talker speaks.
Figure 3-10 shows eight- and four-mic systems with appropriate
auto mix gain displays
when no one is talking.

System
When multiple Dugan units are linked, groups a, b, and c span linked units and operate
as independent automatic mixers.
It is possible to have multiple systems of linked units on your network. These units
will all appear in the Top Pane. The Dugan-MY16 allows 16 systems in a network.
In the rare instance that requires multiple systems:
1. Select the first unit to include in the system by clicking it in the Top Pane.
2. Click the system button and select a unique number for that system.
3. Repeat for each unit in that physically linked system, making sure to use the same
number for each unit in the system.
4. Repeat steps 1–3 for each system.

Typical Operation
This section creates a setup that will work for most applications.
1. Activate the auto mode buttons for all live mic channels.
The figure below shows channels 1–4 in auto mode.
2. Activate the mute buttons for all unused channels.
The figure below shows channels 5–8 in mute mode.
Figure 3-12 Typical operation
3. Activate the preset button next to the active mode button on each channel.
This causes that mode to be selected when the system restarts.
4. Initially, set the mixer’s faders to unity gain.
5. Speak into each mic normally at the desired distance from the mic. Increase the mix-
er’s input gain to just below clipping for best automatic mixing performance.
The input gain to the Dugan-MY16 should be high enough keep the level LED lit
green during silences.
If the input gain controls are set too low, the inputs drop below the minimum op-
erating level, and the smooth ambience is disrupted.
Dugan-MY16 User Guide The Dugan Control Panel
39
6. Adjust each live mic channel’s weight setting until the fluctuating ambient noise
registers approximately equally on all auto mix gain meters.
Note that raising one channel’s weight setting causes its auto mix gain to rise and
the others to fall. With balanced weight settings, all mics have equal access to the
system gain.
7. During the event, adjust the faders to refine your mix.
There is usually no need to adjust the Dugan-MY16’s controls during the event.
Since the Dugan Speech System manages gain, there is no need to mute live mic
channels (on the mixer or Dugan-MY16) unless there is disturbing noise.
NOTE: If channel clipping occurs, turn down its input gain on the Yamaha console, and increase
the channel’s weight setting on the Dugan to re-establish the ambient noise balance.
Muting Mics on an LS9
If you have an LS9 mixer with firmware V1.21, or earlier, it does not allow post-fader
inserts. You must use the Dugan Control Panel to operate with the Dugan-MY16.
Mics must be muted by using the Dugan’s mute buttons. Pulling a fader down on the
console will not properly mute a channel. Although that mic is no longer audible in
the mix, it still contributes to the automatic mixing gain computations, and causes
ambient noise fluctuation. At worst, a noise at this mic could cut off another speaker.
To properly mute a channel:
• Leave the console faders up, adjust levels while people are talking, and mute a mic
by pressing the Dugan’s mute mode button. Enable the mic when needed by acti-
vating the auto button. You can use the Master PRESET button as a panic button
to unmute all mics.
Muting mics does not alter the overall ambient sound mix: the Speech System com-
pensates by slightly raising the ambient gains of the other mics to compensate for
the gain subtracted by muting a mic.
-OR-
• Use the bypass button with the console fader pulled down. This keeps the mic in-
stantly available on the fader but removes that mic from automatic mixing.
