130 Chapter 3: Converge® Console Programming
NOTE: ClearOne recommends using First Mic Priority to maintain maximum audio intelligibility
by allowing only one mic to gate on to a participant’s voice. First Mic Priority allows more
than one microphone to gate on at same time, but it restricts more than one mic from
gating on to the same audio source. It does this by determining the audio level received
by all mics when the first mic is gated on, and then using this audio level as the ambient
level for the gating group. If First Mic Priority is disabled, two or more microphones will
usually gate on when only one person speaks.
Select the Max # of Mics from the drop-down list (the default is 4). This sets the maximum number of
microphones that can be gated on at any one time within a gating group. For global gating groups, the
maximum number of mics is 8 for Converge Pro 880 and 8I units, and 4 for 840T units, up to a total of 64
mics in E-bus linked systems.
Select the Last Mic Mode from the drop-down list (the default is off). Last On leaves the last mic activated
gated on until another mic gates on. The Input options allow you to select which mic remains on when all
other mics gate off. Off gates all mics off when no audio is present. All allows all mics to gate on at the same
time.
