G-WARE SOFTWARE • GATING PARAMETERS

NOM (constant gain mode) corrects for the increased output level when

multiple mics are gated on. Mic output level is reduced based on the number of

mics gated on and routed to a given output. NOM is activated in the Outputs 1-

12 window (page 55).

At the bottom of the Gate configuration window is the Gating Group Select

pane. This is where you select the gating group to which you want to assign this

input channel. Select None if you don’t want to assign a gating group.

Mic inputs are default routed to Global Group A.

Each mic input is routed to an automatic mic mixer module to control individual

mic gating. Each mic input can be assigned to one of eight independent mic

mixers. Four of the mixers are internal to the unit (labeled 1-4) and four are

global (labeled A-D) that are linkable to other XAP 800 units to form larger

mixers that operate as a single system. A mic cannot be assigned to more than

one mic mixer. If an input is not assigned to a mixer, that mic’s gate

characteristics are independent and have no effect on the mixers.

When mixers span two or more units (global mixers), the settings must be the

same for each unit attached to the global mixer. If there are any discrepancies in

global mixer settings between units, you will receive an error message.

When inputs are assigned to a mixer, the gating information from the inputs is

used to control how the entire mixer reacts. This allows a high degree of

flexibility in installations.

When you are finished making entries, click Close to save your entries and exit

this window. Click Close again to exit the Gate window.

Gating Control

At this point, you might wish to establish the gating parameters of specific gating

groups. Click the Gating Control button on the toolbar. This opens the Gating

Controls window (see next page). This window displays three parameters for

each of four internal and four global gating groups. The three parameters are

Max # of Mics, First Mic Priority, and Last Mic Mode.

Also, clicking on the

G-Ware toolbar opens the

Bus Reference window.
