3
Last Mic Mode — Prevents all mics from turning off at the same time, ensuring there is
always one active mic channel. There are four possible states:
• If not enabled on any mic input, all mics gate off.
• If enabled on all mics, the last active mic remains on.
• If enabled on one mic:
• The enabled mic remains active if it is active when all other mics gate off, or
• If the enabled mic is not active, it gates on when all other mics gate off.
• If enabled on some but not all mics:
• If enabled on the last active mic, this mic remains active, or
• If not enabled on the last active mic, the first enabled mic in the group gates on.
4
Chairman Mode — One mic or multiple mics can be set to Chairman under the Gating
Priority list. When a chairman mic is gated on, all non-chairman mics are gated off to the
off reduction level.
5
Current NOM — Displays the selection of the maximum number of mics that can
be gated open at any time, per gating group. The setting can be changed using the
AMGroups dialog box. Current NOM range is 1 through 12.
6
Gate Threshold — The signal level below which the mic channel gates off and above
which it gates on. Range: – 60.0dB to 0.0dB. Default: – 50.0dB.
7
Off Reduction — The channel attenuation when a mic channel gates off.
Range: 0.0dB to 100.0dB attenuation (0 to – 100 dB). Default: 60.0dB.
8
Attack Time — Sets the time at which gain is applied after a channel gates on.
Range: 0.0msec to 3000.0msec in 0.1 msec increments. Default: 10.0msec.
9
Hold Time — The time that a mic remains active after the signal drops below a
user-defined threshold.
Range: 0.0msec to 10000.0msec in 0.1msec increments. Default: 400.0msec.
¢
Release Time — The time to ramp the signal level to the Off Reduction value when
the mic channel gates off.
Range: 10.0msec to 10000.0msec in 0.1 msec increments. Default: 100.0msec.

Gate Status Indicator and meter — The meter provides real-time sampling of the
selected automix channel with a digital readout of the current level the meter. The
indicator lights when the channel is shut off.
Gain control — The always-present gain control provides a single fader

with a gain range of 12 dB to -100 dB, adjustable in 0.1 dB increments, with
a level setting readout below the fader.
Click and drag the fader (
1
) or click in the dB field (
2
) and enter a value.
The meter value displayed in green shows the signal level in dBFS.
3
Mute button — Click to mute and unmute the mic
audio. If you mute the audio, it is completely silent on
that input. When the audio is muted, a red indicator in
the block turns on.
NOTES:
• The indicator (
4
) means that this fader is part of a group master (group 2 in this
example) (see Group masters on page 119 to create group masters).
• Multiple masters can be created for a fader, in which case the
4
indicator is .
• By default, the front panel Mic Volume knob controls this fader.
