Re: Thought Problem: micing and mixing a panel discussion for recording

I don’t think the New Shure SCM820 uses the Dugan algorithm as most people call it.

I always use the SCM810s with the direct outs of a standard mixer and have never noticed a choppiness that way. I have noticed it with some other units but they were much earlier versions that I never got a chance to try new versions of. The Dugan is definitely the premium unit. There is one test I want to do some day comparing the Shure and the Dugan but we will save that for another discussion.

There is now a Dugan card for the Yamaha digital mixers and maybe you can look into getting that combination for these events. Also Dugan units aren’t as pricey as they used to be. 

Be very careful of taking camera mic sound and mixer feed sound. Some editors have a tendency to just mix the 2 together and leave them both up the whole time and then wonder why it sounds so bad. I know sound guys that won’t give the editor too many choices because they will make the wrong ones.
