minals of the linked mixers are connected. One mixer feeds a
PA system, and another mixer feeds a tape recorder and
equipment for a television broadcast.
Note that the Off-Attenuation can be set differently for the
PA mixer than for the
TV
mixer. The
Ti/
feed and recorder
may sound more natural if the Off-Attenuation is set at
-8
if
the room noise is sufficiently low. On the other hand, for
highest gain before feedback in the PA amplifier, the Off-
Attenuation should be set at
-1
5
or, in some cases, at minus
infinity. The Master Gain control is set differently on each
mixer to obtain proper levels feeding each system. The aux
source feeds both mixers via a Y-adapter cable but the Aux
control on each mixer may also need to be set differently.

Chairperson-Controlled Muting
By activating a switch, the chairperson can silence all the
other microphones and be heard without interruption. To
establish this function, connect together all the Mute In ter-
minals of all the mixers, but make no connection to the logic
terminals of the chairperson's microphone channel. Wire an
SPST pushbutton or toggle switch between
the Mute In and
Logic Ground terminals of any one channel except the
chairperson's channel. See Figure
10.
The Chairperson-Controlled Muting feature is also illustrated
[see Figure
81
as part of a large system for a legislature.
Note that the Logic Ground terminals of both mixers are
connected, and that the chairperson's logic channels are un-
connected.
