Each pickup area features independent po-
lar pattern control. Select each polar pattern

Maximum noise rejection and channel separation are de-
sired, and when the seating configuration is unlikely to
change. This configuration is optimal for use with automix-
ing.
Aiming Pickup Areas
All pickup patterns (except omnidirectional and toroid) can be aimed directly at individual talkers to provide the clearest possi-
ble signal with minimal room ambience. In the Configuration menu, aim the pickup lobes by selecting and dragging the chan-
nel. The angle can also be adjusted in 15° increments from the channel properties menu on the right side of the workspace.
Adding or Removing a Channel
To add or remove a channel, go to Configuration.
Select Add Channel to add another channel.
Select Remove Channel or press the Delete key on your keyboard to remove a channel.
Removing a channel also deletes any EQ or gain settings applied to that channel.
Custom Presets
Use presets to quickly save and recall settings. Up to 10 presets can be stored on each device to match various seating
arrangements. A preset saves all device settings except for the Device Name, IP Settings, and Passwords. Importing and ex-
porting presets into new installations saves time and improves workflow. When a preset is selected, the name displays above
the preset menu. If changes are made, an asterisk appears next to the name.
Note: Use the default settings preset to revert to the factory configuration (excludes Device Name, IP Settings, and Passwords).
