Variable Off-Attenuation
Adjustable Off-Attenuation allows the fine
adjustment necessary to assure
smooth
channel turn on without missed syllables. When
Off-Attenuation is 0 dB, the mixer channel
functions as a normal mixer: there is no
attenuation of an inactive channel.
Variable Off-Attenuation
Note
: When Off-Attenuation is set to 0 dB, the AX-1000A still utilizes the channel's active/inactive status
for its automatic mixing logic.
To change the automatic mixing function, use the NOM Attenuation control.
Example
:
Here's an unusual example that shows how flexible the AX-1000A can be. Imagine a game show
produced by a small organization with its own video studio where a single mixer must work in a wide
variety of situations.
Perhaps this game show is staged as part of employee training.
An AX-1000A can be configured as four channels of normal mixing (sound effects source, studio
paging mic with press-to-talk switch, BG/FG music cassette, and MC's lavalier mic) with four channels
of automatic mixing (four panelists or game contestants). The only requirement is to set the
Off-Attenuation appropriately.
