Automix ™ controller using mix Console Direct outputs:
A. Connect your microphones to the mix console inputs.
B. Connect the corresponding mix-console, post-fader channel direct outputs to the
line inputs on the S-4 ™ .
C. Set the S-4 gain controls to the unity gain position shown in figure 1.
D. Set the console’s fader to 0 (unity gain) and turn off all group (bus) assignments.
E. Adjust the console gain controls so that the S-4 output meter reads 0.
F. If you have not done so already, connect the S-4 output to an input or return on
your mix console. You might want to consider using an aux return input as you
will not want to adjust this control once it is set, but any line input can be used.
G. Increase the S-4 back panel output level control until either the sound level in the room is at moderate-loud
level or ringing is heard on the end of words. Reduce the level until ringing is not audible. If you are connected
to a console line input and have turned the S-4 output level all the way up but have not reached the proper
level, then set the S-4 output level at 0 and increase the console’s channel gain to reach the proper level.
H. Proceed to "Completing the Setup" (below).
Automix controller using the S-4 Direct outputs:
A. Set the rear panel switches to direct out (switch in).
B. Connect the direct outputs (unbalanced) to the console inputs using TS 1/4" cables.
C. Set the console channel fader to 0.
D. Adjust the console channel gain control for proper level in the room without ringing.
E. Proceed to "Completing the Setup" (below).
Completing the setup
A. Unmute one channel at a time and adjust its gain for a nice level in the room.
B. Adjust the Mid Morph ™ control for a natural sound quality.
C. Set the low cut filter frequency as needed to suppress handling noise, low rumble or excess bass due to close
proximity of sound source to the microphone. This is a 12 dB/octave filter so do not be afraid to use the 150
Hz setting if it improves the sound.
D. Set the mix level control at 0, and readjust the gain so that the microphone is just below ringing. In operation, if
you have to reduce the mix level control below the 12:00 position to get the desired volume at normal
speaking levels, set the level control at 12:00 and reduce the gain until the desired level is achieved.
Note: if you are using the S-4 as an Automix controller, leave the mix level controls at 0.
E. Adjust the compression threshold control counterclockwise so that the red compression LED only "blinks on" when
the person speaking starts getting loud. This can help control the volume of loud speakers. However, if the
threshold is set too low, (the LED is on much of the time) the volume will be unnecessarily limited and
feedback can be the result.
F. Repeat steps A-E for each microphone.
