Abstract: Automatic microphone mixers have become common in unattended sound reinforcement systems. Though many of these use simple on-off gating, continuous analog functions are also available that deliver better performance in demanding applications. A brief review of the field of automatic mixing functions is given. A prototype of an eight-channel controller has been built that provides automatic mixing functions as an automatic assistant to operators of multimike live sound mixing consoles. Feedback, ambient noise, and reverberation pickup are reduced, and mixer reaction time is eliminated in fast-moving discussions.
