Installation and Set-Up
1 Priority Channel Configuration
Microphones allocated as Priority can gain access at any
time, normally the priority microphone is used by the Chair
Person of a conference for example to override the other
microphones on the system.
Press the Enter button to enter the configuration screen.
Using the Up/Down buttons choose 1.SetMic.
On each channel the priority is activated using the Enter
button.
When priority is activated, it will show the input as ON.
Move through each microphone setting via the Up/Down
buttons repeating the above until the desired priority is
achieved.
When Priority is selected on any channel the corresponding
LED illuminates on the front panel of the console to visually
indicate the channel status.
It is possible to activate all channels as priority.
From the 1.SetMic screen move the cursor via the Up/
Down buttons to the Manual. screen.
Press the Enter button to change the setting between N.
(no priority) or Y. (all priority). This option will override any
individual channel settings if already in place, removing
this setting will also revert the mixer back to any previous
individual settings.
In the Y. setting all the channel LED’s illuminate on the
front panel of the console to visually indicate the channel
status.
2 Priority “State”
It is possible to show the priority status via the LCD panel
display.
From the menu using the Up/Down buttons select
2.State.
Pressing the Enter button will provide a numeric list of
channels which are set to priority.
3 Reset
By using this function it is possible to clear all priority
settings previously set on the mixer.
From the menu using the Up/Down buttons select
3.Reset.
Pressing Enter will provide the option to reset Y. or N.
If no priority channels are selected the AM 81 automatic
mixer will open only the first active channel to operate, only
one channel can be active in this state.
When a priority channel is activated whilst a no priority
channel is active then the priority channel will override,
reducing the non priority level by -40dB (this level can be
adjusted between -20dB and -40dB, with -40dB as the
default).
If a non priority channel is activated whilst a priority channel
is active then the non priority channel will not become active
until the priority channel has become inactive.
When only priority channels are active then there will be no
attenuation between active channels, they will all output
at the same level.
If the system is configured as all channels with priority, the
AM 81 will automatically adjust/attenuate the output level
to prevent feedback.
Note: It is highly recommended that the maximum number
of channels set up with priority is 4. By limiting this to 4 the
possibility of feedback via the system is greatly reduced.
