Microphone Operation Modes

The operation mode determines how participant
microphones function during a meeting. Several factors
may affect the meeting requirements and the manner
in which the meeting is run: room size, number of
participants, formality of the event, and amount of
technical support on staff. The operation mode addresses
these factors with four presets to control the microphone
behavior.
To change the mode:
• CCU hardware:
