Page 159: Use The Auto Noise Gain Component (A.n.g)
UAPG2 MANUAL Version EN.24 Use the Auto Noise Gain Component (A.N.G) Procedure to set the ANG Connect the sensing microphone to the S.M. input, and the paging audio source to the P.M. input. The NSM sensing microphone need an input sensitivity of 0dB ( software). The max cable length between the NSM and the UAPg2 is 500 meter with CAT-5 cable.
Page 160 UAPG2 MANUAL Version EN.24 The system is properly set. Even when the paging is not active, the ANG is still adjusting the AGC level with the ambient noise to be ready when the paging will begin. Notice: • The calibration should be done in normal ambient noise (shouldn't have suddenly loud noise during calibration).
Page 161: Use The A.n.g
UAPG2 MANUAL Version EN.24 Use the A.N.G When the calibration green led lit, the system is ready. In our example, the A.N.G has detected an ambient noise average of -12dB. We choose a medium "response speed" and a short "sampling time" to be enough reactive quickly. Now the A.N.G will automatically adjust the level on the (P.M) signal depending on the ambient noise detected on the sensing microphone.
Page 162 UAPG2 MANUAL Version EN.24 You can see the AGC level near from 0 dB, meaning no compensation. Increase Zone: If the sensing microphone detects more noise than during the calibration, the A.N.G works in the "Increase Zone" which means that the gain must be increased to compensate the ambient noise. In our example, the noise is now louder than during the calibration.
Page 163: Nsm Sensing Microphone
UAPG2 MANUAL Version EN.24 NSM Sensing Microphone The software module lets you handle any kind of microphone signal; line-level would be preferred because of the noise-picked-up by the cable length. For that reason we will provide a microphone module with a level raising amplifier, fed by Phantom power and/or 24VDC. There is a screw in the front hole, allowing you to modify the pre-amplifier gain of the microphone.

UAPG2 MANUAL Version EN.24 Mixer Mix or route several signal to an Output. Since the UAPG2 software only compiles active nodes, there is no use having a whole bunch of mixers, like 2x1, 3x1, to (n)x1, then 2x2, 3x2, to (n)x2, etc. It simply makes no difference if you take a 4x4 from the 4x4 component or the 16x16.
Page 178 UAPG2 MANUAL Version EN.24 Clicking the orange coloured function [Output(n)] buttons under the label 'Variable Matrix' in the middle of the window opens the sub control windows of the particular output channels. In here you can create an individual mix of the input signals independently for the specified output. By default all levels are set to 0 db, which basically means, that all audio signals at the input are mixed with no attenuation and appear like this on every output.
Page 179: Standard Mixer
UAPG2 MANUAL Version EN.24 Standard Mixer Route several signals to Output(s) The matrix components are organized in a subfolder named 'Matrix' holding the modules '4x4', '8x8' and '16x16': Since the only difference of these modules is their number of in- and outputs, let's take a detailed look just to the smallest one, the 4x4.
Page 180: Automixer
UAPG2 MANUAL Version EN.24 AutoMixer Allows mix several signals to one output. The Activation of channel(s) can be done manually or automatically by signal threshold and priority. The 'Automixer' components are organized in a subfolder named 'AutoMixer' holding the modules '4x1', '8x1' and '16x1': Since the only difference of these modules is their number of inputs, let's take a detailed look just to the smallest one, the 4x1.

Manual: The activation is only done manually with the "Manual" buttons. The threshold and the priority are ignored. Automatic: The activation is depending of the threshold, and of the priority. It will pass only highest priority channel out.
Page 183: Compressor/Limiter/Expander
UAPG2 MANUAL Version EN.24 Compressor/Limiter/Expander The 'Compressor/Limiter/Expander' folder in the 'Component' control window holds for items: They represent the dynamic section and consist of the following modules: • Limiter Single channel limiter, triggered by input level (Feed-Forward type). • Compressor Single channel compressor, triggered by input level (Feed-Forward type).
Page 184 UAPG2 MANUAL Version EN.24 The display/editor window displays an output to input graph, where the vertical axis corresponds to the output signal level in dB, while the horizontal axis displays the input signal level in dB. The green line reflects the currently set dynamic response graph of the compressor.

Page 185: Compressor
UAPG2 MANUAL Version EN.24 Compressor A compressor is an automatic volume control. Loud sounds over a certain threshold are reduced in level while quiet sounds remain untreated. In this way it reduces the dynamic range of an audio signal. This may be done for aesthetic reasons, to deal with technical limitations of audio equipment, or to improve audibility of audio in noisy environments.

Button Opens the graphical display/editor window. Ratio x:1 0.10 to 1.00 Sets compression ratio.
Page 187: Expander
UAPG2 MANUAL Version EN.24 Expander An expander works in an opposite fashion than the compressor, the threshold is set and any part of the signal dropping below this threshold will be affected by the expander and this level will be raised. The expander therefore like the compressor balances out the signal making it sound more professional.
