Cobranet Discovery - Bosch DCN Next Generation Installation & User's Instructions

DCN Next Generation | Installation and User Instructions | Central Devices
13.5.10 Automatic gain control (AGC)
Use the AGC menu item to enable or disable the AGC
of the audio inputs. If necessary, enable the AGC for the
audio inputs that inject external interpretations in the
system. The AGC makes sure that the nominal level of
the received interpretations is 9 dBV (XLR), -6 dBV
(cinch). When the nominal input of an external
interpretation is high, the audio of the external
interpretations will be too loud compared to the audio
of the 'internal' interpretations from the interpreter
desks.
Note
When channel 00 is attached to an audio input,
the system automatically disables AGC for the
audio input. You cannot manually enable AGC
for an audio input to which channel 00 is
attached.
Note
If two systems are connected by audio
connections (Cobranet, AEX, or DEX), set the
AGC to off.
