the zones on the screen indicates that this zone will be affected by DUCKER
function
o Activation threshold (TLK THRESHD): trigger threshold of the Talkover function.
The signal of the relevant input activates the Talkover function when it exceeds
this threshold. This trigger level depends on the sensitivity setting for the input on
the rear panel, but it is independent of the INPUT VOLUME adjustment made on
the device (only available in DUCKER mode, since in PAGER mode the function is
activated by pressing the PAGE button on the MPAGE4 console)
o Attenuation (DEPTH): attenuation applied by the function, when triggered, on the
rest of the signals sent to the affected zone)
o Attack Time (ATTACK): the time it takes the Talkover function to act from the
moment the signal exceeds the trigger threshold
o Hold Time (HOLD): time during which the Talkover function remains active, once
triggered and once the signal falls back under the trigger threshold (only available
in mode DUCKER, since in PAGER mode the function remains active as long as
the PAGE button is pressed on the MPAGE4 console)
o Release Time (RELEASE): time that it takes the Talkover function to stop
performing, progressively recovering previous levels of input signals for the
affected zone, after the Hold time
o Chime melody or "ding-dong" + playback volume: brief melody that plays when the
Talkover function is activated, in PAGER mode only (two melodies are available)
3. Adjustable parameters for the NOISE GATE function are:
o Activation (ON/OFF)
o Activation Threshold (NG THRESHOLD). Defines the input signal level below
which the signal is attenuated with an amount indicated by DEPTH (closed gate)
o Attack Time (ATTACK). Determines the amount of time between the passing of the
threshold and the cancellation of the attenuation applied to the input signal (open
gate)
o Hold Time (HOLD): amount of time the gate stays open (without attenuation) once
the signal falls back below the detection threshold.
o Release Time (RELEASE). Determines the time it takes to close the gate again
after the hold time
4. The COPY FROM – PASTE TO operation copies all the settings from the source input to
the destination input, except for its name (LABEL)
