Handling auto mix priority

You can use the auto mix priority to set the priority of the channels, including the internal microphone arrays, via individual controllers.

The TC Bar has up to two Dante® inputs for external microphone channels (ext. CH 1 and ext. CH 2). The channels make it possible to connect external devices (e.g., TeamConnect Ceiling Medium, etc.) to the TC Bar via a Dante® network. The Dante® inputs are managed using an integrated auto mixer, whereby the priority of the channels, including the internal microphone array, can be configured using individual faders.

The settings for the auto mix priority manage only the priority of the selected channel. They have no effect on the actual amplification level of the connected microphones.

When the level is decreased using the corresponding controller, a virtual level reduction is added to the channel. This makes the auto mixer less likely to select the channel. Moving the controllers does not change anything about the levels displayed.

If you want to favor an individual channel from the selection, reduce the virtual amplification of the other two channels. The lower the dB number, the more likely the channel is to be selected.
Example:
Int. mic. Ext. CH 1 Ext. CH 2 Explanation
-30 dB -60 dB 0 dB
  • Ext. CH 2 has the highest priority and is thus selected most often.
  • Int. mic. has a lower priority and is thus selected less often.
  • Ext. CH 1 has the lowest priority.
-60 dB -10 dB -30 dB
  • Ext. CH 1 has the highest priority and is thus normally selected.
  • Ext. CH 2 has a lower priority and is thus selected less often.
  • Int. mic. has the lowest priority.
0 dB -30 dB -30 dB
  • Int. mic. has the highest priority and is thus normally selected.
  • Ext. CH 1 and 2 have a lower priority and are thus selected less often.
