AM 6040
Ambient Microphone
The AM 6040 Ambient Microphone Unit is
designed to detect ambient noise in a conference
room.
The purpose of an ambient microphone is to
provide sound from a meeting room/conference
hall, when there is no speaker/chairman active
using their microphones.
The microphone should be placed in a central
position in the room, but not too close to anyone;
thereby the microphone is able to pick up sound
from activities in the room/hall (chairs being
moved, paper being picked up, low voices and so
on).
Transmission of ambient noise rather than
transmitting no sound at all is a desirable feature
from
listeners
attending
the
meeting
via
headphones. The ambient noise indicates to the
listeners, that there is no speaking activity going
on, and this information is very nice to have, when
interpreters are doing interpretation, and the
speaker stops speaking.
The AM 6040 Ambient Microphone Unit is
designed for installation above a recessed ceiling
for connection to an external microphone like DIS
model HM 4042 or GM 652x series of gooseneck
microphones.
The AM 6040 is delivered in a shielded metal
mounting box like the MU 6040.
•
Automatic activation of the microphone, if no
Chairman or delegate units are turned ON and
the LineIn Volume (LineIn>Loudspk) is set to
OFF.
•
Setting of the volume of the ambient noise
audio level on the CU 60xx.
Note: One ambient noise microphone can be active in
the DCS6000 system at one time.
