gain amount, providing better visibility.
Channel control field
This is color-coded by group.
Channels of the same group are mixed.
a [level] indicator
This lights green when the audio reaches the appropriate level for automixing.
• If the [level] indicator goes dark, raise the input gain.
• If the [level] indicator turns red, lower the input gain.
b
Meter
The meter provides three display modes: gain (green: automix gain) /input (yellow: input
level) /output (blue: output level). The display mode switches each time you press the
[meters] button in the main control field.
Normally you will leave this in the “gain” display mode.
c [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
