Dan Dugan card

[Phillip W. Palmer]

It's not something that I would be using for production mixing, but others in our field use automatic mixers for various situations.

Here's a new slot card by Dan Dugan.

I need an auto mixer from time to time and would love a Dugan.
The card is a great idea but at $2500+ it's not a go for me.

I bought one and have been using it for a few months now.

Previously I made regular use of the Shure SCM810. I must say it does "feel" like an expensive purchase, however if you consider that it is 16 channels, that you would have to buy 2 SCM810s to get the same number of channels for about the same price as the Dugan, and the Dugan card does a much better job!

Of course you can find the 810s used at a very good price, but for me having it already "patched" and internal to the mixer, which smoother transitions, makes the Dugan card worth it to me.
