Introduction

Control Dialogs

Auto Mixer Combiner

Note: The Auto Mixer Combiner replaces the Mix Minus Combiner in the software and incorporates all of its functionality,

plus some additional features. Files created in previous versions of Nexia that contain a Mix Minus Combiner will still

function normally and the Mix Minus Combiner will still appear in the layout, even though the block will no longer appear in

the Object Toolbar or Processing Library. The user may substitute an Auto Mixer Combiner block anywhere a Mix Minus

Combiner would have been used.

Auto Mixer Combiner blocks enhance the capabilities of Auto Mixers in room

combining, mix-minus, and input expansion applications. Auto Mixer Combiners

combine control data only and, therefore, have no audio outputs. Inputs to an Auto

Mixer Combiner come from the Mix outputs of separate Auto Mixer blocks. Ch /

Combine allows input channels (1, 2, 3, etc.) to be grouped into specific combinations

(A, B, C, etc.). These combinations automatically determine proper routing of control

data for the Auto Mixer blocks. Control data represents NOM (number of open mics),

ATS (adaptive threshold sensing), and last mic hold status information. Auto Mixer

Combiners are used when Auto Mixer outputs are also connected to a separate Matrix

Mixer (to create multiple mix-minus outputs). Auto Mixer Combiners allow large Auto

Mixers to be created from multiple, smaller ones. This is useful when more than 32

inputs are required or when an Auto Mixer must be placed into multiple Nexia units (for

proper DSP allocation or physical location of inputs).

Groups buttons are used to choose a group for viewing and editing two settings: Last

Mic Hold and Open Mic Limits. Last Mic Hold determines whether the last open

microphone across all Auto Mixer inputs assigned to the current group is allowed to

gate off when activity on that channel ceases. Open Mic Limits enables (and

designates) a maximum allowable number of active microphones across all Auto Mixer

inputs assigned to the current group.

Right clicking on Ch / Combine assignments will prompt a menu of additional options.

Source Selections

Source Selection blocks are N by 1 routers (where N represents the number of sources) with level control per input and

optional logic input and output connections. Source Selection blocks are useful when remote control of audio source

selection is required.
