Why Use Shure Automatic Mixers?
The Audio Problems Caused by Multiple Open Microphones High quality audio becomes progressively more difficult to achieve as the number of open microphones increases. All audio systems face the same problems whenever multiple open microphones are needed. These problems are: • Build-up of background noise and reverberation • Reduced gain before feedback • Comb filtering All of the problems above can plague boardrooms, city council chambers, conference centers, churches, teleconferencing rooms, talk shows, anywhere multiple microphones are used. Since audio quality rapidly deteriorates as the number of open microphones increases, the solution is to keep the minimum number of microphones open that will handle the audio. A Shure Automatic Mixer keeps all unused microphones turned off (attenuated), and activates any microphone spoken into within 4/1000ths of a second. Build-Up of Background Noise and Reverberation The first problem of multiple open microphones is the build-up of background
