Search for the file named QM-FTSC.ZIP. Adjusting the QM-FTSC Microphone Inputs Once a QM-FTSC is installed and configured, settings for gain, gating level, attack time, and decay time should be set using the Realtime Mode in Digital Media Tools (version 3.00.00 or later).
  • Page 36 Attack Time Setting Microphone Gain The QM-FTSC provides variable gain on the XLR and ¼” microphone inputs. The following procedure is used to set the optimal gain for a microphone input. Use the Realtime Mode in Digital Media Tools to control phantom power, gain and gate settings, and to monitor the gate, normal, and clip level indicators.
  • Page 37 Setting the Gating Level The QM-FTSC provides an input level gating function that will mute a microphone signal when the input sound level is below a user-set threshold. This function can be enabled or disabled via software commands.
