FAQ

What is LevelGuard and how does it help?
LevelGuard is automatic dynamic compression that detects incoming signal peaks and reduces them to prevent output clipping, maintaining consistent audio levels throughout the day without manual adjustment.

Can I set a minimum volume for announcements?
Yes, the Mic Minimum control sets a floor below which the main volume knob cannot reduce the microphone level, ensuring announcements are always heard above background music.

What is Source 1 Priority?
When enabled, Source 1 Priority automatically mutes Sources 2 and 3 when audio is detected on Source 1, ideal for paging systems that need to interrupt background music for urgent announcements.
