Maximum Speaker Setting - Shure DDS 5900 User Manual

8.4 Maximum Speaker Setting

To improve speaker management and clarity of the audio,
there is a limit to the number of speakers at the same time.
Up to eight chairman and delegate microphones can be
open at once. There are several settings:
Max speakers
• Total: Total number of open delegate and chairman units. This
is the absolute maximum number of people that can address the
floor at once.
• Delegate: Number of delegates microphones that can be open at
one time.
Maximum Requests
Total number of delegates that can be in the request
queue at one time.
8.4.1 Scenarios
8.4.2 Chairman Can Speak At Any Time
Set the total number of speakers to one (1) higher than the
maximum number of delegates. If there are two chairmen,
set the number to two (2) higher.
8.4.3 Using FIFO Mode
First In, First Out (FIFO) mode automatically turns on
microphones based on a chronological queue list. This
mode works best if the maximum number of delegates is
set to one (1) so that the delegate must wait to speak until
the other is finished.
Note: Interpreter units are always open to support the
translation of the discussion. The following settings
do impact the interpreter stations.
