Ducking & AutoMute 

AutoMute Threshold 
The AutoMute Threshold control shows 
the device current setting and allows 
the setting to be adjusted between 0 
and 100%. Factory default is 0%. 
(Technically, this is ‘OFF’ since the 
audio level cannot go below 0%) 

 

When the 3.5mm LINE IN audio level is below the AutoMute Threshold value, the 
LINE IN audio will be muted after the AutoMute Delay time has elapsed. 

 

The LINE IN audio will be immediately un-muted with audio level is above the 
AutoMute Threshold value. 

 
 

Ducking Threshold 
The Ducking Threshold control shows the device current setting and allows the 
setting to be adjusted between 0 and 100%. Factory default is 100%. (Technically, 
this is ‘OFF’ since 100% cannot be exceeded) 

 

If the 3.5mm LINE IN audio level exceeds this amount, the HDMI/ARC volume will 
be reduced by the given ‘Ratio’. 

 

Ratio 
The Ratio control shows the device Ducking Threshold ratio. This is the percentage 
the HDMI/ARC volume is reduced when the Ducking Threshold is exceeded. 
Factory Default is 50% (ie… cut the HDMI volume in half) 

 

 

 
 

PageSense 

Threshold 
The Threshold control shows the device Paging Sensor voltage threshold. Factory 
default is 100%. (Technically, this is ‘OFF’ since 100% cannot be exceeded) 

 

If the Paging Sensor input voltage exceeds this amount, the audio output will be 
muted. 
When the input voltage goes below this amount, the audio output will be un-muted. 

 

Overcurrent 

Threshold 
The Threshold control shows the device Overcurrent voltage threshold. Factory 
default is ~30%. 

 Example  

When the Ducking Threshold is exceeded, whatever volume level the HDMI/ARC is 
currently set for will be reduced by the ‘Ratio’. 
 
If the volume level is currently set to 75% and the ‘Ratio’ is set for 50%, when the Ducking 
is in effect, the output volume level will be set for 75% * 50% = 37.5%.
