It is important to understand that the Speech System works by detecting the ratios of
the levels between channels, not their absolute levels. The
weight
control is not a gate
threshold!
The following example explains how
weight
works (see Figure 4-9).
Raising the
weight
control for one channel:
• increases that channel’s
auto mix gain
display during ambience and decreases it
slightly for the others;
• makes it more difficult for others to speak when someone speaks into the channel
with the higher
weight
setting.
It is important to understand that this does not set that mic’s level in the mix when
that person speaks alone, but only its sensitivity during automatic mixing compared to
other channels.

Lowering the
weight
control for one channel:
• decreases the
auto mix gain
display during ambience for that channel and increases
it slightly for the others;
• makes it more difficult for that channel’s talker to be heard over the others.
For optimal performance, balance the
weight
controls so the channel gains display approx-
imately equally when no one is talking. If there is ongoing noise near one mic (e.g.,
computer fan or air vent), suppress it by reducing that channel’s
weight.
Of course, you
will hear that noise increase when that talker speaks.
