Inhibiting Gating for Unwanted Sounds D = 1N4148 MaxBus attempts to activate only one microphone per sound source. Muting a microphone channel prevents its audio from DD + appearing at the mixer’s output. However, the muted micro- phone still communicates with other mic channels via Max- 12 V Bus. A sound source picked up by a muted microphone will not POWER SUPPLY activate other microphones. – Sound sources that may cause unwanted microphone chan- nel activation include: • Heating, ventilation,
