Raising the
weight
control for one channel:
• increases that channel’s
auto mix gain
display during ambience and decreases it
slightly for the others;
• makes it more difficult for others to speak when someone speaks into the channel
with the higher
weight
setting.
Figure 5-9 How changing one channel’s weight control during ambience affects the auto mix gains
Lowering the
weight
control for one channel:
• decreases the
auto mix gain
display during ambience for that channel and increases
it slightly for the others;
• makes it more difficult for that channel’s talker to be heard over the others.
For optimal performance, balance the
weight
controls so the channel gains display ap-
proximately equally when no one is talking. If there is ongoing noise near one mic
(e.g., computer fan or air vent), suppress it by reducing that channel’s
weight.
Of
course, you will hear that noise increase when that talker speaks.
