Although the AM6 is an affordable unit, performance is equivalent to much more expensive separates. The AM6 has 6 input channels which will accept either mic or line level signals. The AM6 will be an ideal choice for small churches, conference rooms, or anywhere a state of the art integrated automatic mixer is desirable.
The AM6 has two modes of operation for each channel; Auto and Direct. The operational mode is selected via the front panel Auto/Direct switch on each channel. In the Direct mode, the channel is always on. The Direct mode is analogous to a standard channel in a non-automatic mixer.

In the Auto mode, the ambient level is continuously monitored, and the minimum level at which channels begin to come on is set a few dB above ambient. With the AM6 set in the Auto Threshold mode, the chances of misadjustment are considerably less.
Output Level control. THRESHOLD MANUAL/AUTO SWITCH - Determines the mode of the fixed Threshold for the AM6. In Manual mode, the Threshold Level pot determines the Threshold. In Auto mode, the ambient noise is monitored and the Threshold is set relative to the ambient noise.

Channels 1-6 are factory jumpered for tone control and notch filtering. If these functions need to be disabled, set the jumpers to BYPASS as shown in Figure 4. To gain access to these jumpers the top cover of the AM6 should be temporarily removed*.
6) With all Channel Level controls fully open clockwise and the Output Level control fully counterclockwise, turn on the power for the AM6 and the amplifier. If Auto Threshold was selected in step 5, wait about 10 seconds after turning the power on before proceeding. This will allow the Auto Threshold to initialize its sampling of the ambient noise.
