Manual Ambient. This setting is relevant only if the adaptive ambi-
ent mode is OFF on a mic channel (See Page 34). Best results are
usually achieved when the adaptive ambient mode is ON. However,
if you need to set the ambient level to a fixed value, turn OFF the
adaptive ambient mode on the desired microphone channels. A
manual ambient setting is a global setting and will affect all mics
equally which are set to adaptive ambient OFF. The ambient level
ranges from 0dB to -70dB with the default setting at -30dB. You can
determine the ambient level by following the steps below.
Step 1.
Check your current gate ratio from the GATE PARAMETERS
menu. Make a note of the value. Example: "Gate Ratio: 15."
Step 2.
Select MANUAL AMBIENT from the GATE PARAMETERS menu.
Press Enter to change the dB value.
Step 3
. Scroll up or down through the dB values until the mic gates on
(Gating is indicated when the mic LED lights up). Individual
room conditions will determine whether you need to scroll up
or down. When the LED flickers, the dB value indicated on the
LCD display is the ambient level of the room.
Step 4
. Deduct the gate ratio value from the ambient level value you
have just determined. For example, if the ambient noise level
of the room is identified as -50dB and the gate ratio is 15, the
manual ambient setting would be -35dB.

Any combination of chan-
nels may be set in adaptive ambient
or manual ambient modes. Only
individual channels cannot be set
with both modes active.
