TANDBERG D12155-10 user manual

TANDBERG Videoconferencing System Advanced use

Audio input 4 is intended for connection to a VCR. It can also be connected to other external playback devices. As there is no acoustic echo canceller on this input it should not be connected to any microphones. The audio source connected to this input will be heard from the local speaker.

Mix Mode

‘Auto’ automatically adjusts the weighting of each microphone to obtain the best possible audio and minimizes the background noise. ‘Auto’ will also attenuate the VCR audio level when someone talks into a microphone. ‘Fixed’ will maintain a constant weighting for all microphones.

Level Settings

Adjust the audio input levels according to which external audio equipment is connected. The on-screen audio level indicator will make it easier to set the correct input level settings. The input level should be adjusted so that the average level reaches the preferred level marker.

The audio inputs are adjustable in steps of 1.5 dB from 0 dB to 22.5 dB.

The default levels for Mic 1 and 2 are set for use with an Audio Technica AT871 microphone in an average videoconferencing room. The gain can be adjusted correctly for a wide range of microphones.

A few examples of microphone levels are:

Audio Technica AT871	+3dB (default with system)
Audio Technica AT851R	+7dB
TANDBERG Audio Science	+19.5dB

Audio inputs 3 and 4 are set to a default level which is adhered to by most manufacturers of audio-visual equipment and is a level at which most audio-visual equipment (CD-players, VCRs) will work.
