You can perform the following functions using the weight controls:
• If there is ongoing noise near one mic (e.g., computer fan or air vent), suppress
it by reducing that channel’s weight. Of course, you will hear that noise increase
when that talker speaks.
• To allow the chairperson to override interruptions, set his/her weight higher than
the other channels. If you set the chairperson’s weight too high, quiet speech
from the other channels may be lost.
• To duck all mics when another sound source is playing, use a dummy input, that
does not get routed to a mix bus.
