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), sup-
press 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.
