Manual/Auto:
Automatic activation is defeated in the
Manual position. In Manual mode, the AMS8100 functions as a
standard 8x1 mixer.
Last Mic Lock-On:
Last Mic Lock-On feature keeps the
most recently activated microphone turned on until a newly ac-
tivated microphone takes its place. When defeated, micro-
phones turn off after their preset hold time.
Hold Time:
Adjusts the time an activated microphone
(which is not locked on) remains on after the talker stops talk-
ing. Settings are 0.4 seconds or 1.0 second.
Off-Attenuation:
Changes the off-attenuation level from
15 dB to infinity (
¥
). With the 15 dB setting, an unused micro-
phone is 15 dB lower in level than when it is activated. With the
¥
setting, an unused microphone is completely off.
Limiter Threshold:
Changes the output limiter threshold.
Settings are OFF (factory setting), +16 dBu, +8 dBu, or +4 dBu
(see
Internal Modifications
for other threshold settings).
Link Global/Local:
Determines whether each linked
AMS8100 output contains only its own program output, or that
of all linked mixers (see
Mixer Linking
for more information).
