GLOSSARY

Filter, High Shelving
Provides boosting or attenuation of frequencies above a designated
frequency. The transition between the spectrum above and below the designated frequency
occurs at a fixed 6dB/octave rate.
Filter, Low Pass
A filter that passes low frequencies while attenuating high frequencies.
Filter, Low Shelving
Provides boosting or attenuation of frequencies below a designated
frequency. The transition between the spectrum above and below the designated frequency
occurs at a fixed 6dB/octave rate.
First Mic Priority
Increases the audio level required to gate on additional microphones after
the first mic is on. This helps ensure that only one mic gates on when a person speaks.
Gain
The amount a signal is increased over a given reference, typically 0. Normally specified
in dB (decibels). On the XAP 800, gain is adjustable from -60 to 20dB in .5dB increments.
Gain Structure
The configuration of parameters which define gain adjustment of a signal.
The optimal input gain setting is one which is adjusted as high as possible above the noise
floor without introducing clipping.
Gate Ratio
Specifies how much louder the microphone audio level must be above the
ambient sound level before a microphone gates on.
GPIO (general purpose input/output)
The Control/Status Port A on the rear of the XAP
800 unit.
G-Ware Software
The XAP 800’s setup and configuration software.
Hold Time
The length of time that a microphone remains on after the voice (input) level
drops below the gate ratio. This prevents the microphone from gating off during brief pauses
in speech.
Last On Mode
Sets the last-activated mic to Last On, Mic 1-8, or Off. The Last On setting
leaves the last-activated mic gated on until another mic input gates on.
Macro
A computer command consisting of a sequence of other commands.
Macro Mode
The section of G-Ware that allows you to customize and execute macro
commands for a XAP 800 unit or network.
Manual Gating
Provides the ability to gate a microphone on or off manually.
Matrix Mixer
A mixer that allows routing of any input or combination of inputs to an output or
any combination of outputs. In the case of the XAP 800, the matrix mixer permits level control
at each cross point in the matrix.
