MixAssist & Dugan Automixing
Auto Mixer Screen
The 688’s digital processing engine
delivers 12-channel auto-mixing
capability using the most sophisticated
algorithms on the market.
Commonly used in multi-mic speech
applications, auto-mixing automatically
attenuates the level of inputs that are
not open and helps maintain consistent
background sound levels regardless of
the number of open microphones.
On the 688, sound professionals have
two powerful Auto Mixers from which
to choose: MixAssist™ and Dan Dugan
automixing. These are two
fl
avors,
which accomplish the same end—
improved speech intelligibility, reduction
of ambient noise and reverberation, and
improved gain-before-feedback.
While the 688 is capable of auto-mixing all 12 inputs, it may be con
fi
gured from
the Auto Mixer screen to attenuate fewer inputs or none at all.
The 688 also features two auto mixers: Sound Devices own automixing feature
called MixAssist and Dan Dugan automixing.
To access the Auto Mixer screen:
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Turn and press the Headphone encoder to select AUTO MIXER. The Auto
Mixer screen is displayed.
