weight
The weight controls balance relative sensitivity of the input channels. Balance the weight controls so that the auto
mix gain meters will display approximately equal levels when no one is talking. For example, if there is ongoing noise
near one microphone (e.g., computer fan or air vent), suppress it by reducing that channel’s weight. To change the
channel’s weight level, use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to manipulate the weight slider.
Automixer calculates the ratios of the input levels of a specific channel against all input channels within the group.
The following example explains how the weight control works.
■ Raising the weight control for one channel:
(
Increases that channel’s auto mix gain, and slightly decreases other channels’ auto mix gains.
(
Makes it easier for the channel with the higher weight setting to obtain auto mix gain (thus, easier to be heard)
than other channels.
■ Lowering the weight control for one channel:
(
Decreases that channel’s auto mix gain, and increases other channels’ auto mix gains.
(
Makes it more difficult for that channel’s speaker to be heard over other speakers when multiple people are
speaking on multiple microphones.
d
group
Each channel can be assigned to one of five groups (a/b/c/d/e). This group function is helpful in the following
applications:
(
Using multiple rooms: Assign the microphones in each room to different groups so that they can function as
separate automixers.
(
Stereo panning: Assign the microphones panned left, right, and center to separate groups to maintain a stable
stereo ambience.
e
override
Turning on the OVERRIDE button in the master field will place the corresponding channels into man or mute mode,
according to the channels’ override button status.
(
While the channels’ override buttons are on, turning on the OVERRIDE button in the master field will place the
corresponding channels into man[ual] mode.
(
While the channels’ override buttons are off, turning on the OVERRIDE button in the master field will place the
corresponding channels into Mute mode.
(
Turn off the Master OVERRIDE button to restore the previous channel mode.
The Override function is useful when the panel discussion leader wants to control the system.
Follow the steps below.
1. Turn on the override button on the channel for the leader.
2. Turn off the override button on all other channels.
3. Turn on the OVERRIDE button in the master field as necessary.
f
Channel number
This area displays the channel number and name, where a specific channel is inserted.
g
preset button
Press this button to select a channel mode (man, auto, or mute) that will be engaged if the PRESET button in the
master field is turned on. The channel preset button will light up indicating that the preset has been programmed for
that channel.
