When the microphone is centered on a rectangular table, use the channel gain to balance the levels and compensate
for the unequal distances.
Perform a level check for each coverage area, using a typical speech volume. Adjust the faders so the meters are
peaking at approximately -20 dBFS.
Adjust the equalizer settings to optimize speech intelligibility and minimize noise (such as low-frequency rumble caused
by HVAC systems).
If equalizer settings cause a significant increase or decrease in levels, make any necessary level adjustments accord-
ing to step 1.
When to Use the Channel and Automix Gain Faders
There are 2 different gain faders that serve different purposes:
Channel Gain (Pre-Gate)
To adjust, go to Channels. These faders affect a channel's gain before it reaches the automixer and therefore affect the
automixer's gating decision. Boosting the gain here will make the lobe more sensitive to sound sources and more likely to
gate on. Lowering gain here makes the lobe less sensitive and less likely to gate on. If you're only using direct outputs for
each channel without the automixer, you only need to use these faders.
Automix Gain (Post-Gate)
To adjust, go to
Configuration
>
Automix
. These faders adjust a channel's gain after the lobe has gated on. Adjusting
the gain here
will not
affect the automixer's gating decision. Only use these faders to adjust the gain of a talker after you
are satisfied with the automixer's gating behavior.
Note:
The level meters in
Configuration
>
Automix
only display pre-gate channel gain, but the faders will adjust post-gate channel gain.
Mute and Fader Groups
Add channels to a Mute group or Fader group to link the corresponding controls together. For example, if channels 1, 2, and 3
are added to a Mute group, muting any of those individual channels will mute all of the grouped channels.
