The control panel in the right pane mimics all the Speech System controls of a
Model D-2 or D-3. Since the Model E has no Music System algorithm, those controls
do not appear.

The Model E does not have groups. If linked with a D-series mixer, the Model E’s
channels are assigned to

group a

.

Since the Model E’s front panel has no

man

button, Manual mode is displayed as full gain.

The channels and the unit itself can be named by entering text in the windows. Channel
naming is cleared by a System Reset (see System Reset on page 17) and the unit’s name
is cleared by a Network Preset (see Network Reset on page 17).

As in the D-series, all settings are retained when the control panel is disconnected or
powered off. When the unit powers up, channel modes are set to the

Preset

settings.

To quickly control multiple units, open a browser tab or window for each Model E.

Auto Mix Weight

Figure 5-5 Auto mix weight control

The

auto mix weight

controls set the relative sensitivity of the automatic mix for the

channels in use. When the

auto mix weight

controls are balanced, each mic has an

equal opportunity to take over the system: when one person talks into one mic, he/she
gets all the gain and the others get turned down.

The

weight

controls can be used to balance the channel gains when no one is talking.

If a board preamp trimmer is turned down, that channel’s

weight

control can be turned

up to re-balance the automixing, and vice-versa. Weights can be changed by dragging
the sliders or by entering dB values in the windows below the sliders.
