3 [weight] slider
Adjusts the relative sensitivity between input channels. Set the meter display to “gain,”
and adjust the weight setting so that the meters are at approximately the same level
when there is no input. For example if noise is heard near a certain mic (e.g., air
conditioner wind noise), lowering the weight value of that channel will reduce the
noise.
The automixer calculates the proportion of a specific channel’s input level relative to the
mix of all inputs in the group. The following examples describe how weight control
works.
❍ If the weight setting value is raised on one channel
• The automix gain value of that channel increases, and the value of other channels
decreases.
• Channels with a high weight setting will more easily obtain automix gain in
comparison to other channels.
❍ If the weight setting value is lowered on one channel
• The automix gain value of that channel decreases, and the value of other channels
increases.
• If people speak simultaneously into multiple mics, it will be more difficult to
differentiate them from the other mics.
4 [group] button
Selects the group to which each channel belongs. Click the button to switch the group.
Two groups can be specified on the MTX3, or four groups on the MTX5-D.
5 [override] button
When the master field’s [OVERRIDE] button is on, the setting of this button
determines whether the corresponding channel switches to “man” mode or “mute”
mode.
• If you turn on the [OVERRIDE] button of the master field when the [override] button
of the channel control field is on, the channel mode changes to “man.”
• If you turn on the [OVERRIDE] button of the master field when the [override] button
of the channel control field is off, the channel mode changes to “mute.”
• When the [OVERRIDE] button of the master field is turned off, that channel returns to
its previous mode.
6 Input channel number
Indicates the input channel number.
7 [man]/[auto]/[mute] buttons
These buttons toggle the channel between man/auto/mute.
man : The audio is passed through without modifying the gain. Select this mode
if singing into the mic.
auto : The automixer is turned on. Select this mode for conversation.
mute : The channel is muted.
