Master field
1
MOUNT popup button
Press this button to display the GEQ MOUNT popup window.
2
Channel display select buttons
These buttons contains the auto mix gain meters and mode indicators: man[ual] (yellow), auto
(green), or mute (red) for each channel. Press one of these buttons to select channels to be
displayed in the channel control field below.
3
OVERRIDE/PRESET/MUTE buttons
These buttons are used to set up each group (a/b/c/d/e) selected in the channel control field.
Only the buttons for the selected groups will be displayed.
• OVERRIDE
Press this button to smoothly fade-in the levels of the channels (for which the override
buttons are turned on) to 0 dB (unity gain). All channels for which the override buttons are
turned off will be muted.
• PRESET
Press this button to place the corresponding group of channels into a mode (man, auto, or
mute) as indicated next to the lit preset indicator.
• MUTE
Press this button to fade out all channels immediately (in 0.5 seconds).
4
meters button
Switches the meter indicators displayed in the channel control field. Pressing the button
repeatedly will switch among gain (auto mix gain), input (input level), and output (output
level).
NOTE
“gain” is the most useful choice during normal operation.
5
reset button
Initializes the Automixer settings.
■
Channel control field
Each channel is always in man, auto, or mute mode. The indicators for the engaged channel mode
will light up. To select a mode, press the corresponding mode button or the PRESET button in the
master field.

weight
The weight controls balance relative sensitivity of the input channels. Balance the weight
controls so that the auto mix gain meters will display approximately equal levels when no one
is talking. For example, if there is ongoing noise near one microphone (e.g., computer fan or
air vent), suppress it by reducing that channel’s weight.
To change the channel’s weight level, use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to manipulate the
weight slider.
Automixer calculates the ratios of the input levels of a specific channel against all input
channels within the group. The following example explains how the weight control works.
