Lowering the

weight control for one channel

•decreases the auto mix gain display during ambience for that mic and increases it

for the others;

•makes it more difficult for that mic to be heard over the others.

For optimal performance, balance the weight controls so the channel gains display ap-

proximately equally when no one is talking.

If there is ongoing noise near one mic (e.g., computer fan or air vent), suppress it by

reducing that channel’s weight. Adjustments up to 10 dB usually result in an accept-

able compromise between noise reduction and channel sensitivity.

The figure below shows a system with appropriate auto mix gain displays.

Figure 3-6 Ambience with 8 mics: auto mix gain displays hover around -9 dB

Level Indicator

Each channel has a level LED that lights green when the audio level is adequate for

automatic mixing. It should remain green when no one is talking.

•If the level indicator blinks, raise the Yamaha mixer’s input gain.

•If the level LED lights red, lower the Yamaha mixer’s input gain until it stays green

at all times.
