High/1 (level sensitive) = Mute audio; Low/0 = Unmute audio Indicates that the corresponding MIC/LINE input is muted. High/1 = Mic audio is muted; Low/0 = Mic audio is not muted Enables noise gating for MIC 1/LINE 1 or MIC 2/LINE 2, for as long as the input is high. Gating eliminates unwanted background noise that could prove distracting when amplified. The noise gate will not pass an audio signal unless it is above the threshold, set by the <GatingLevel> input. High/1 (level sensitive) = Enable gating; Low/0 = Disable gating Indicates the current status of the noise gate for the corresponding MIC/LINE input. High/1 = Gating is enabled; Low/0 = Gating is disabled Indicates that the signal level on MIC 1/LINE 1 or MIC 2/LINE 2 has exceeded the <GatingLevel>. High/1 = Gating level exceeded; Low/0 = Gating level not exceeded Indicates that the signal level on MIC 1/LINE 1 or MIC 2/LINE 2 has exceeded the nominal level. The nominal indication is reported at 10% of the maximum level supported by the hardware, or 20dB below the input clip level. High/1 = Nominal level exceeded; Low/0 = Nominal level not exceeded Indicates that the signal level on MIC 1/LINE 1 or MIC 2/LINE 2 has exceeded 50% of the maximum level supported by the hardware, or 6dB below the input clip level. High/1 = Mic signal clipping; Low/0 = Mic level not clipping Enables the 48V phantom power supply for as long as the input remains high. (Phantom power is required by condenser microphones, but should be disengaged for dynamic microphones. ) High/1 (level sensitive) = Enable phantom power; Low/0 = Disable phantom power Indicates that phantom power has been enabled. High/1 = Phantom power is on; Low/0 = Phantom power is off Sets the threshold for gating. The noise gate is enabled for as long as the <GatingEnable> input is high. Once the microphone audio rises above <GatingLevel> the gate opens, allowing the signal to pass through. If the <MicNominal> feedback pulses while the <MicGate> feedback remains low, this indicates a threshold that is set too high. Digital inputs: <Mic1GatingEnable> <Mic2GatingEnable> Digital outputs: <Mic1GatingEnable-F> <Mic2GatingEnable-F> Digital outputs: <Mic1Gate>, <Mic2Gate> Digital outputs: <Mic1Nominal> <Mic2Nominal> Digital outputs: <Mic1Clip> <Mic2Clip> Digital input: <PhantomEnable> Digital output: <PhantomEnable-F> Analog inputs: <Mic1GatingLevel> <Mic2GatingLevel> Continued on the following page Operations & Installation Guide ­ DOC. 6313A FlipTop Computer Center: QM-FTCC · 37 FlipTop Computer Center Crestron QM-FTCC QM-FTCC Microphone Control ­ Signal Descriptions (continued) SIGNAL TYPE AND NAME Analog outputs: <Mic1GatingLevel-F> <Mic2GatingLevel-F> DESCRIPTION Indicates the gating level for the corresponding MIC/LINE input. This maps into the following range: Mic level input: -60dBV to -20dBV Line level input: -28dBV to +12dBV Indicates the gain being applied to the corresponding MIC/LINE input. Sets the time, in milliseconds, that it takes for the noise gate to fully open after the signal exceeds the <GatingLevel>. This prevents short spikes in the input signal level, such as coughing, from opening the gate.
