MIC AUTOMIX
An automatic microphone mixer automatically reduces the strength of a microphone's audio signal when it
is not being used. Automixers reduce extraneous noise picked up when several microphones operate
simultaneously.
In the context of sound reinforcement systems, an automixer can be particularly useful for managing
spontaneous discussions or panel discussions where multiple participants may be speaking at the same
time or interjecting with sudden comments. By using an automixer, the operator can ensure that each
participant's voice is heard clearly and that no words or phrases are lost due to UPCUT mistakes or lapses
of attention.
UPCUT: Chopping off the beginning of the audio or video of a shot or video story. This happens when the
editor or technical director doesn't cut to a new audio or video source quickly enough. Opposite of
downcut.
Overall, while a skilled mixing engineer can greatly enhance the performance of a sound reinforcement
system, the use of an automixer can provide an additional layer of support to ensure that all participants
are heard clearly and that the audio quality remains consistent throughout the discussion.
