Hold Time

This feature determines the length of time that a microphone remains On after the microphone audio level drops below the gate ratio (Figure 2.10 below). Values range from 0.1–8.0 seconds in one-tenth second increments. Default setting is 0.3. Setting this value too low might cause the microphones to gate on and off too frequently during brief pauses of speech. However, setting this value too high might cause too many microphones to be on at one time.

Figure 2.10. Hold Time

Decay Rate

This feature determines how fast a microphone gates off after the hold time expires (see Figure 2.11). Three options are available for this feature: slow (default), medium, and fast.
