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

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.
