Gate Processing Section
LAST MIC ON
When turned on, the last mic active will remain on even if the sound level drops
below the threshold setting. This function is used in television/video
conferencing applications where it is desirable to have some room ambiance
sounds heard even when no one is talking. Note: To use this function in a
multi-mixer system, activate the “Last Mic On” feature on all mixers (master and
all slave units).
GATE HOLD TIME
Sets the length of time a channel’s gate remains open after the sound level
drops below the threshold setting. Choose longer Gate Hold times to avoid
having the mixer gate off the input channel during a talker’s pauses.
