Adjusting the QM-FTMCSC Microphone Inputs

Once a QM-FTMCSC is installed and configured, settings for gain, gating level,
attack time, and decay time should be set using the SystemBuilder finish tab.
NOTE: Crestron recommends that you use the latest software to take advantage
of the most recently released features. The latest software is available from the
Crestron website.
Definitions
The QM-FTMCSC allows for adjustments to be made to microphone input
signals. The following are definitions of terms that are commonly used when
making adjustments.
Attack Time
The time it takes (in milliseconds) from when an input signal rises above the
gating level until the microphone output signal is enabled.
Clipping
A condition in which a signal level exceeds the maximum level (the clipping
level) a circuit can handle. This is usually caused by improper gating parameters
and gain settings.
Decay Time
The time (in milliseconds) from when an input signal falls below the gating
level until the microphone output signal is muted.
Gain
An adjustable amplification to accommodate varying input signal levels.
Gating
Gating is a function that mutes a microphone signal when the input sound level
is below a user-set threshold (gating level).
The following diagram demonstrates clipping, attack time, decay time, and
gating level.
