Automixer calculates the ratio of input level for specific channels for all input mixes in
the group. The following example explains the weight control mechanism.
When increasing the weight setting in one channel
• the value displayed in the auto mix gain meter for that channel increases, while the
values for other channels are reduced.
• Channels with high weight setting values receive a higher system gain than other
channels.
When reducing the weight setting in one channel
• the value displayed in the auto mix gain meter for that channel reduces, while the
values for other channels are increased.
• When speaking into multiple mics at the same time, it is difficult to distinguish between
different mics.
If you can hear noise near one mic (example: noise from a computer ventilation fan or
an air conditioner), you can suppress the noise by reducing the weight setting for that
channel.

group
Each channel can be assigned to three groups (a/b/c).
This group function is convenient for the following uses.
• Using multiple rooms: Assign the mics in each room to their own groups, and use a
different Automixer for each.
• Stereo pan: Assign mics panned to left, right and center to groups a, b, and c, to
maintain a stable stereo field.
5
override
If you turn on the OVERRIDE button in the master field, the channel will switch to man
mode or mute mode according to the settings for that channel's override button.
• When the channel's override button is on, the mode for that channel will switch to man
when the master OVERRIDE button is turned on.
• When the channel's override is off, the mode for that channel will switch to mute when
the master OVERRIDE button is turned on.
• When the master OVERRIDE button is turned off, the channel will return to its previous
mode.
The override function is convenient when the moderator of a panel discussion wants to
control the system.
Follow the instructions below to change the settings.
1. Turn on the override button on the moderator's channel.
2. Turn off the override button on all other channels.
3. Turn on the OVERRIDE button in the master field as needed.

with a mic.
auto: Turns on Automixer. This mode is used for conversations.
mute: Mutes channels.

mode button (man/auto/mute) next to the lit preset indicator. When the power is
turned on, each channel will be set to its preset mode.
• MUTE
When you press this button, all channels will fade out immediately (0.5 seconds).
When you press this button, channels where the channel override button is on will
fade in to 0 dB (unity gain). All channels with the override button turned off will be
muted.
