6.11Adjusting Noise Gate Settings
A noise gate controls the volume of an audio signal by attenuating by a fixed amount the signals that register below the threshold.
To adjust the noise gate settings for a channel:
Step 1On the appliance Web UI’s main page, select DSP.
Step 2Select the Menu button for the channel.
Step 3From the drop-down menu, select Noise Gate.
Note: If you want to return to the factory settings, select the Reset icon that appears in the right corner. |
Step 4Adjust the following settings as needed:
Threshold |
Sets the threshold level that the signal must be below for the noise gate to “close” (prevent the sound from getting through). Threshold range is -135 to +21 db. |
Attack |
Adjusts how long it takes for the gate to open once the signal falls below the threshold. Attack range is 1 to 500 ms. |
Hold |
Defines the length of time the gate will stay fully open after the signal falls below the threshold. Hold range is 1 to 500 ms. |
Decay |
Sets the rate for turn off of the gate after the signal is below the threshold. Decay range is 0 to 2000 ms. |
