Microphone Operation Modes - Shure DDS 5900 User Manual

Microphone Operation Modes

The operation mode determines how delegate microphones
function during a meeting. Several factors may affect the
meeting requirements and the manner in which the meeting
is run: room size, number of participants, formality of
the event, and amount of technical support on staff. The
operation mode addresses these factors with four presets
to control the microphone behavior.
Description of Operation Modes
The following is a description of each mode once the
Speak button is pressed:
Auto (Automatic)
Automatically turns on the delegate microphone if there is
room in the speaker list. In this mode, there is no request
queue: if the Speaker List is full, the delegate microphone
does not turn on.
Manual
Adds the delegate to a request queue that is managed by
the chairman. The Chairman selects delegate microphones
from the queue list, and turns them on and off. Manual
is the only mode in which the web browser is required to
manage talkers.
FIFO (First In, First Out)
Automatically turns on the delegate microphone if there is
room in the speaker list. Once the list is full, delegates are
placed into a chronological request queue. The microphone
turns on automatically once a space is open in the speaker
list.
Delegate Interrupt Mode
This mode determines the behavior of delegate microphone
units when the speaker list is full:
• Off (default): A delegate unit cannot turn on until a
space is available in the speaker list.
• On: A delegate microphone can turn on even when
the speaker list is full. This turns off the microphone of
the delegate that has been in the list the longest (at the
bottom of the Speaker List).
