Creating a priority zone
You can use a priority zone to prioritize an important audio area in a room (such as the position of a speaker).
During lively discussions in meetings, the moderator must be able to retain control of the conversation. You can create a priority zone so that voices have priority for reasons besides volume alone. The moderator is always preferred in the incoming signal, even if their voice is quieter. That ensures that the person responsible always has control of the situation regarding voices as well.
You can also configure weighting for the priority zone. The weighting determines how intensively the beam concentrates on this area. You have the following options:-
Increases the weighting of the audio signals in the priority zone to approximately 1.5 times the normal audio output (e.g., in rooms with normal ambient noise). Thus, the source outside the priority zone must be 2 dB louder than a source within the priority zone to cause the beam to focus on the source outside the zone.
- Increases the weighting of the audio signals in the priority zone to approximately 2.5 times the normal audio output (e.g., in rooms with high ambient noise). Thus, the source outside the priority zone must be 4 dB louder than a source within the priority zone to cause the beam to focus on the source outside the zone.
- Increases the weighting of the audio signals in the priority zone to approximately 4 times the normal audio output (e.g., in rooms with strong ambient noise and a quiet moderator). Thus, the source outside the priority zone must be 6 dB louder than a source within the priority zone to cause the beam to focus on the source outside the zone.
