to paging zones that are not acoustically coupled to the microphone. This is the
default processing for microphone inputs when the automixed version of the
signal is selected.
Sound Reinforcement Version
The sound reinforcement version is processed with the parametric equaliza-
tion, noise cancellation, optional feedback elimination processing, automatic
gain control, dynamics processing, automixer, fader, delay, and input mute.
This is the path that is typically used for sending local audio to loudspeakers
in the room for sound reinforcement.
The automatic gain control on the sound reinforcement path is different from
the automatic gain control on the noise cancelled version of the signal in that
the sound reinforcement automatic gain control will not add gain to the signal.
In other words, the sound reinforcement AGC will only reduce the gain of the
signal and will not add gain to the signal. This restriction on the sound rein-
forcement AGC is to prevent the automatic gain control from reducing the
available potential acoustic gain before the onset of feedback.

The automatic gain control on the sound reinforcement processing path will not add
gain to the signal, it will only reduce the gain of the signal.
