Voice Detection

Voice Activation (VOX)
In VOX mode, the microphone activates automatically
once a participant speaks. The mode is ideal for meetings
that are more conversational, allowing back-and-forth
communication that doesn't involve speak requests and
button activation. The following settings allow VOX to be
customized for the meeting:
Voice Detection Threshold
Determines the input level (dB) that activates the
microphone. Lower settings activate the microphone with
a quieter source, while higher settings requires a louder
source to activate the microphone.
Default 0 dB
Minimum -12 dB
Maximum 8 dB
Release Time
Determines how long a microphone remains active after
a participant stops talking. The setting is selectable in 0.5
second increments.
Default 4 seconds
Minimum 1 seconds
Maximum 10 seconds
Auto Off
Auto Off
This setting automatically turns off the microphone when
the delegate stops talking.
• Off (default)
• On
Book Drop
To ensure that only the speech from a participant activates
the microphone, turn on the book drop feature. This quickly
turns off a microphone that has been accidentally activated
from a loud noise other than speech.
Last Mic Stays Open
This setting ensures that at least one microphone is always
activated. This is useful for video or audio conferences with
echo-canceling equipment.
Automatic Off Time
The time for a microphone to turn off after the delegate
stops speaking.
Default 5 seconds
Minimum 5 seconds
Maximum 60 seconds
