About the AUTOMIXER
The AUTOMIXER is a function for automating the sound mixing of conversation heard in conferences, talk shows and so on. This
function detects mics that are enabled and automatically optimizes the gain distribution to maintain a consistent system gain with
multiple mics, eliminating the need for the engineer to keep watching the fader levels.
How the AUTOMIXER works
The TF series AUTOMIXER uses the Dugan speech system, which automatically adjusts the gain of up to 8 mics.
Unlike limiters or auto-level controllers, the Dugan speech system lets the engineer control individual levels as usual, even when
more than one person is talking at the same time. Also, the audio on the mics is detected and the gain is automatically distributed
when no one is talking, so the faders can be left up.
1 AUTOMIXER ON button
Turns the AUTOMIXER on/off for the respective channel.
When one person speaks, while using multiple mics When two people speak, while using multiple mics
When one person talks, the gain on that mic instantly rises, and the
gain on other mics is lowered. This works the same when another
person speaks.
When two people talk at the same time, the gain between the two mics
is automatically distributed to provide a uniform total gain, and the gain
on the remaining mic is lowered.
NOTE
• The AUTOMIXER is placed directly after the channel ON for CH1–CH8.
• When the Pre button for SEND TO AUX on CH1–CH8 is off, signal is sent from directly after the AUTOMIXER to the AUX bus.
• When CH1–CH8 are stereo linked together, the AUTOMIXER parameters will not be linked.
NOTE
We recommend that you leave the AUTOMIXER off for audio that does not contain speech components, such as live concerts.
