of the floor channel	When the floor channel volume is set to a high level or when several

	participants speak simultaneously, feedback noise (loud hissing) can
	occur. This can cause hearing damage.

Reduce the floor channel volume (see page 93 or page 101).

Make sure that the “Audio Gain Reduction” function is activated (see page 94).

This function reduces the gain per active microphone by the selected level and thus prevents feedback noise.

Increase the distance between the individual conference units to at least 50 cm.
