Direction-Sensitive Gating: A New Approach to Automatic Mixing

Authors: Julstrom, Stephen; Tichy, Thomas

Journal of the Audio Engineering Society · Volume 32 · Issue 7/8 · pp. 490–506 · August 1984

Abstract

Automatic mixers are often employed in multiple-microphone sound systems to turn on only the microphones immediately in use. Problems with level-sensitive gating criteria are overcome with a new operating principle using special dedicated microphones and circuitry. Microphones turn on reliably for sound sources within a predetermined acceptance angle independent of level and with a significantly reduced sensitivity to room conditions.
