About AUTOMIXER
Automixer is included as a standard feature on the QL series. Automixer searches for enabled
mics and automatically optimizes gain distribution, for uses such as speeches without scripts.
This allows uniform system gain to be maintained among multiple mics, freeing the engineer
from making constant fader adjustments.
Automixer operating principle
With the Dugan speech system used in Automixer, you can automatically adjust the gain for
multiple mics used for speeches.
The Dugan speech system functions differently from a limiter or auto level controller. When
multiple people are speaking, the engineer can adjust each level using the faders as normal.
Even if nobody is speaking, the system searches for mic audio and automatically distributes
gain. Therefore, faders can leave in their raised positions.
Inserting Automixer in channels post-fader
This section explains how to mount Automixer in a virtual rack, and insert Automixer input and
output into channels (excluding ST IN channels) post-fader (POST ON). For details on
Automixer operations, refer to the following section “Using Automixer.”
Using Automixer
Channel display
The auto mix gain meter for each channel and man (yellow), auto (green), and mute (red)
settings are shown for channels 1–8 and channels 9–16.
If you select the channel 1–8 or 9–16 region, the display channel for the channel control field
will switch to 1–8 or 9–16.
(For 8ch Automixer, only channels 1–8 are shown.)
When 1 person speaks on multiple mics When 2 people speak on multiple mics
When 1 person is speaking, the gain on the mic
being used is immediately increased and the gain
on all other mics is reduced. The same operation
occurs even if another person is speaking.
If 2 people are speaking at the same time, gain is
automatically distributed so that the total gain is
consistent across both mics, and the gain on the
remaining mic is reduced.

STEP
1. Refer to steps 1–8 in “Virtual rack operations” on page 126 to mount Automixer in
rack 1 and set its input source and output destination.
2. Refer to “Inserting an external device into a channel” on page 20 to insert
Automixer in post-fader (POST ON field).
