It is important to understand that weight does not set that mic’s level in the mix when

that person speaks, but only its sensitivity in activating automatic mixing. The Speech

System detects the ratios of the levels between channels, not their absolute levels. The

weight control is not a gate threshold!

The following example illustrates how

weight affects auto mix gain (see Figure 5-9).

Raising the

weight control for one channel:

• increases that channel’s auto mix gain display during ambience and decreases it

slightly for the others;

• makes it more difficult for others to speak when someone speaks into the channel

with the higher weight setting.

Figure 5-9 How changing one channel’s weight control during ambience affects the auto mix gains

Lowering the weight control for one channel:

• decreases the auto mix gain display during ambience for that channel and increases

it slightly for the others;

• makes it more difficult for that channel’s talker to be heard over the others.

For optimal performance, balance the weight controls so the channel gains display ap-

proximately equally when no one is talking. If there is ongoing noise near one mic

(e.g., computer fan or air vent), suppress it by reducing that channel’s

weight. Of

course, you will hear that noise increase when that talker speaks.
