G-WARE SOFTWARE • GATING PARAMETERS
45
Max # of Mics sets the maximum number of microphones that can be
gated On at any one time. This range can be set from one to eight
microphones or Off. The maximum number for this parameter depends on
how many mic inputs are assigned to the mixer that this
parameter controls. To set the maximum number of
microphones, scroll through the number range (one through
eight) in the menu and select the desired number. Default is 4.
First Mic Priority helps maintain maximum audio intelligibility
by allowing only one microphone to gate on when a person is
speaking. Gentner recommends leaving this setting On. When
turned Off, usually two or more microphones gate on when
only one person speaks. However, when this parameter is
turned on, one person will usually be able to gate on only one
microphone. It does this by determining the audio level
received by all microphones when the first microphone is
gated on. This audio level is then used as the ambient level for
all other mics. This mode can be enabled or disabled by clicking the box.
Last Mic Mode selects between three modes of last-mic operation: Last
On, Off, and Input—a specific mic in this group. Last On leaves the
microphone that was activated last full On until another microphone input is
gated On. The Input setting allows the XAP 800 to revert back to a specific
mic input when all microphones gate off.
To select one of the last-mic mode options, access the pull-down menu and
select the mode you wish. The default setting for mic mode is Off.
When you have finished making changes in the Gating Controls window,
click Close.
Returning to the Inputs 1-8 Configuration window, continue to configure
Input 1 by setting the Gain, using the Coarse and Fine sliders or entering
the appropriate number in the field shown. The setting you select will
depend upon the type of input you are using.
Set the Coarse gain to 55dB for a mic input, 25dB for active equipment that
requires an input between mic and line-level, or 0dB for a line level input.
Notice the yellow and green upper and lower limit arrows on the Fine slider
scale. Adjust these to establish minimum and maximum gain levels for the
input. The limits you set affect all relative gain commands you establish for
the input.
