Controlling the Volume Automatically

(Auto Mixing)

The volume adjustments that would normally be done by the

operator can be controlled automatically (auto mixing function).
Since this lets you leave the volume adjustments up to the V-160HD,

it can be used in situations where there is no dedicated operator.

This is especially useful for meetings, discussions, debates, and other

situations where multiple microphones are used.

1 .

Press the [AUTO MIXING] button to turn the auto mixing

function on (lit).

2 .

[MENU] button

Ó

select “AUDIO AUTO MIXING,” and

press the [VALUE] knob.

The AUDIO AUTO MIXING menu appears.

3 .

Specify whether the selected audio is affected or is not

affected by auto mixing.

Use the [VALUE] knob to select the audio whose setting you

want to specify.

Use the [VALUE] knob to specify whether the selected audio

is affected (ENABLE) or is not affected (DISABLE) by auto

mixing, and press the [VALUE] knob.

For audio that does not require auto mixing, such as background

music, choose “DISABLE.”

4 .

Specify the priority level for volume-level distribution.

If there is audio that you want to make more prominent, such as

when you want to raise the volume level of an emcee microphone,

raise the weight level of that audio to emphasize it, and lower the

weight level for other audio.

Use the [VALUE] knob to select “WEIGHT,” and press the

[VALUE] knob.

Use the [VALUE] knob to set the priority level for volume-level

distribution (from 0 to 100%), and press the [VALUE] knob.

When air-conditioner noise or the like is a concern, specify the

weight level to a low value.

5 .

Press the [MENU] button to close the menu.

6 .

To turn the auto mixing function off, press the [AUTO

MIXING] button once again.
