These units mix the mic and line audio inputs, and output blends to
different places such as the main speakers, record, presenters fold-back and
comms.
Their EQ is used to adjust a sound, for example making a voice more
intelligible by reducing the sibilance.
A free-flowing live debate always causes the sound engineer problems. When the
presenters have radio mics and don't sit where expected these problems can
become unmanageable, with sentences and interjections missed. Leaving all mics
'live' can result in feedback.
PCPtechnical solves this problem by using Automatic Mic Mixers. No words are
missed. Even quick comments by another panel member are 'caught'
The units are clever enough to 'mix' more than one channel at a time, and there is a 'chairman's button' so all mics apart from one can be cut should the discussion need to be brought under control by the chairman.
