Once assigned as a network audio channel, the One-Touch Ambience retains the mix-level properties of the
onboard mic—only its Channel Volume can be changed. Reverb, Tone and Pan/Spread are not available.
See the previous section, starting at page 16. Assigning the Ambience channel to network content is ideal
if you need to bring a mix of mono or stereo ambient microphones hung in a performance space into the
Personal Mixers. Properly configured, positioned, and processed room mics can be a powerful addition to
an in-ear mix, bringing audience reaction into the monitoring environment.
While the onboard mic in the A360 can be used to bring audience sound into the local monitor mix,
remember that the onboard mic is not always going to be in an ideal location to pick up ambience and
imaging from the performance space as a stereo pair of room mics can. And this is especially true if all the
performers need to hear the same ambience mics; for this application only a dedicated mono or (better
yet) stereo ambient mic in a single location properly set up by an audio engineer is appropriate.
A pair of mics can be hung on the left and right sides of a stage (top) or as an X/Y stereo pair above the center of the
stage (right) to bring ambient sound of the hall and audience reaction into all Personal Mixers.
