Use Designer's Auto Route
Designer's auto route speeds up the process of connecting systems with 1 audio processor and at least 1 microphone. Auto
route also creates mute control routes in rooms with MXA network mute buttons. When you select Auto route, you can direct
Designer to:
•
Create audio routes and mute control routes
•
Adjust audio settings
•
Turn on mute synchronization
•
Enable LED logic control for applicable devices
The settings are optimized for your particular combination of devices. You can adjust settings further, but auto route gives you a
good starting point. Auto route works with any device in Designer.
To use auto route:
1.
Place all relevant devices in a design.
2.
Select Auto route. Designer optimizes microphone and DSP settings for your equipment combination.
If you remove or add devices, select Auto route again.
Note: The auto route process clears any manual routes you may have made in your design.
After auto routing a room, check and adjust settings to fit your needs. You may need to:
•
Delete unnecessary routes.
•
Check levels and adjust gain.
•
Check that AEC reference signals are correctly routed and received in a test call.
•
Fine-tune DSP blocks.
•
Adjust your processor's matrix mixer routes.
If you want to auto route an online room, turn on online room editing in File > Designer preferences.
Note: Changes to an online room may cause audio to briefly drop out.
