Moving the pointer to the button displays the present
output level.
AUTOMATIC MIXER button
Turns on and off the AUTOMATIC MIXER.
The AUTOMATIC MIXER button lights in green when the
AUTOMATIC MIXER button is pressed ON.
When it is pressed ON, the compressor of the INPUT screen is
set at the same time.
The AUTOMATIC MIXER contains two functions, the
compressor function and the gate function.
If the total output sound volume exceeds a certain level such
as when many people talk loudly or at the same time, the
compressor function limits the output sound volume so that it
does not exceed the upper-specified level. (See part 1 in the
figure.)
If the microphone input sound falls below a lower-specified
level, the gate function cuts off the microphone sound so that
the background noise is reduced, howling is prevented, and
clear sound quality is maintained. When larger than a certain
volume is input again, the microphone input is turned on
without delay. (See part 2 in the figure.)
Conventional automatic mixers have an inherent lack of sound
at the beginning of a speech due to the time difference after
the audio input level is detected until the gate starts working.
The SRP-X700P solves this problem by removing the time
difference by using digital signal processing.
