DAU:
The input priority is used to resolve conflicts when two or more inputs try to broadcast to the same
output. In this case the input with the highest priority will be able to broadcast, and the others will not.
Priority is assignable to each input per output. This is so that different inputs may have different priorities
according to which zone they are serving. For example a particular microphone may have a high priority
only in its local zone, and a lower priority when broadcasting elsewhere.
When Music input is overridden, then when the override is removed it is re-instated.
•
ACU:
The input priority is used to resolve conflicts on the allocation of the network channels when two or more
inputs try to broadcast. In this case the inputs with the highest priorities will be able to broadcast over the
configured network channels, and the others will not.
Priority is assignable to each input. This is so that the assignment of the network channels can be
arbitrated between the audio inputs into the Audio Control Unit.
To Allocate Priority to the Music Input:
10. Select the Music input, and then allocate the priority independently to each of the Router outputs as
required.
Assignment of equal priorities means that those inputs operate on a 'first-come-first-served' basis.

Possible options:
Note that the in addition to the unbalanced input (Input 9), a balanced input can be used for background
music.
The background music may be overridden by any audio sources with higher priority.
Care should be taken in ensuring that music sources have appropriately low priorities to

ensure that they can be overridden by emergency and microphone audio sources. For this
reason the Music input default priority is 19 (lowest). Priority adjustment may be required
when using a balanced input.
