Automatic Microphone Mixers

Imagine:
You’re sitting in a big hotel function room, listening to an awards ceremony. The presenter announces the winner, who leaps to the other microphone for a few words of thanks. There’s a horrible howling and screeching as the microphone picks up feedback, and you clap your hands to your ears. The award winner stomps off the stage in a huff, sulking because the audience didn’t hear a word of his carefully-written impromptu acceptance speech.

Imagine:
It’s the board meeting; 36 company directors sitting round a massive table, each with a microphone so that he can be clearly heard. The chairman has the switches on a little panel in front of him, so he can turn each director’s mike on and off at the appropriate moment. The meeting warms up, and the chairman is trying to keep order; directors talk over each other, even try shouting each other down. There is no way the poor chairman can keep up. Microphones should be on but are off - directors are silenced; microphones stay on when they should be off - there is a feedback screech. Corporate chaos.

Imagine:
For centuries the congregation of St. Mark’s has strained to hear all but the loudest voiced vicars. The next parish has installed microphones, but either the verger has to play sound engineer or the congregation has to put up with feedback - neither very godly options.

Sound Solution: An Automatic Microphone Mixer.

A discreet little box that can be left to get on with it; no knobs and digital displays, - just an on/off switch.

It may not look very impressive, because it doesn’t have lots of complicated knobs, buttons, sliders and switches, but it contains top-quality electronics that give year after year of trouble-free, discreet, and very impressive service.

A correctly set up automatic mixer, allows each mic to work as if it is the only microphone in the system, reducing the possibility of acoustic feedback, and "hollowing", ensuring the best possible sound quality and clarity - perfect for speech applications.

A manual mixer should be used for musicians, but this should be in addition to the automatic mixer for speech microphones.

We supply various manufacturers automatic mixers, matching the product to the application is what we do best!
