GLOSSARY
144
gain or loss below the corner frequency is adjustable to +/- 15dB.
First Mic Priority Increases the audio level required to gate on additional
microphones after the first mic is on. This helps ensure that only one mic
gates on when a person speaks.
Gain The amount a signal is increased over a given reference, typically 0.
Normally specified in dB (decibels). On the XAP 800, gain is adjustable
from -65 to 20dB (85dB range) in .5dB increments.
Gain Structure The configuration of parameters which define gain
adjustment of a signal. The optimal input gain setting is one which provides
both an adequate signal-to-noise ratio and reasonable headroom.
Gate Ratio Specifies how much louder the microphone audio level must
be above the ambient sound level before a microphone gates on.
GPIO (general purpose input/output) The Control/Status Ports A and B
on the rear of the XAP 800 unit.
G-Ware Software The XAP 800’s setup and configuration software.
Hold Time The length of time that a microphone remains on after the
voice (input) level drops below the gate ratio. This prevents the microphone
from gating off during brief pauses in speech.
Last On Mode Sets the last-activated mic to Last On, Mic 1-8, or Off. The
Last On setting leaves the last-activated mic gated on until another mic
input gates on.
Macro A series of user-created instructions, stored within the unit, which
can be executed from an RS-232 command or contact closure.
Macro Mode The section of G-Ware that allows you to customize and
execute macro commands for a XAP 800 unit or network.
Manual Gating Provides the ability to gate a microphone on or off
manually.
Matrix Mixer A mixer that allows routing of any input or combination of
inputs to an output or any combination of outputs. In the case of the
XAP 800, the matrix mixer permits level control at each cross point in the
matrix.
Maximum Number of Mics/Filibuster Sets the maximum number of
mics that can be gated on simultaneously.
