microphone settings2
  • Mute Button Behavior

    • Toggle
      Mute on and off will be toggled by pressing the mute button.

    • Push to talk
      Microphone will be muted unless the button is pressed and held.

    • Disable
      Mute button on the device is disabled and mute status can only be changed externally (controller or different microphone in same group).

  • Directivity
    Sets the directivity of the microphone.

    • Auto voice tracking
      This is the default setting. Select this setting for automatic tracking mode. The microphone automatically focuses on the voice of the person speaking.

    • Omnidirectional
      With this setting, all microphone elements are always active. Audio is picked up in the hemisphere above the microphone. Multiple voices can be captured simultaneously using the Omni setting. This setting should only be selected for quiet rooms with no reverberation and good acoustical conditions.

    • Cardioid
      This setting allows to select the direction of up to 4 active cardioid pick-up patterns. Select this setting if participants are always in the same location in relation to the microphone. Cardioid requires that an auto-mixing strategy is selected.

    • Supercardioid
      Same as cardioid, but the directivity of the pick-up pattern is narrower than cardioid.

    • Hypercardioid
      Same as cardioid and Supercardioid, but the pick-up pattern is even narrower than supercardioid.

    • Toroid
      Select this setting in environments with noise sources above the microphone. Audio pick-up is limited in vertical direction; the microphone focuses on voice sources horizontal to the microphone.

    • Bidirectional
      Select this setting to cover two talker positions opposite (180°) from each other.

When the microphone directivity is set to "Cardioid," "Supercardioid," or "Hypercardioid," the automixer settings can be checked/changed.

cardioid
  • Enable mic channel
    Turns the microphone for the CH selected in Directivity ON or OFF.

  • Direction[deg]
    Sets/changes the acoustic angle of the microphone for the CH selected in Directivity.

  • Auto mixing

    • 1Ch. Gating
      Select this setting to allow one input channel to be active at a time. This setting provides highest clarity of the active talker, but more volume variation. Use the setting when several talkers participate in the meeting or in reverberant rooms.

    • 2Ch. Gating
      Default setting. Select this setting to automatically mix up to two microphones using gain sharing. This setting allows for a well balanced experience between clarity and volume variations.

    • 4Ch. Gating
      Select this setting to allow all four channels to be mixed using gainsharing. This mode provides a better volume variation experience but with less clarity. This setting is recommended for settings with several active participants in the discussion. Use the setting only in a room with good acoustics and low reverberation times.

    • All Mix
      Select this mode to mix all four channels without gain-sharing. The listener might experience more volume variation but will experience the most natural sound with many talkers. Use the setting only in a room with good acoustics and low reverberation times.
