Reply To: Automatic mic mixing

Yes. I wonder if changing any of the settings would improve the opening time. e.g. would reducing the off attenuation affect it becuase it didn’t have so far to slew? Or perhaps reducing the hold time might make it more inclined to switch mics. I have a feeling, not proven, that it is slower when the “wrong” mic is already open. Clutching at straws here.

As you say, gates are plenty fast enough, but the problem there is setting the threshold, so it opens for the quietest speaker, but doesn’t open when someone loud uses another mic. So I prefer the behaviour of the AMM.

I’m guessing the D-classic wouldn’t be any better and it doesn’t seem to have the right properties for this application, but I’ll give it a go and see what hapens.
