This level regulating/ambient noise-following module is designed to receive audio signals from an ambient sensing microphone and where required, adjust signal levels to the power amplifier of the public address installation.
The output level of the module will automatically and constantly adjust to follow the average rise and fall in thambient noise in the area served by the host amplifier (airports, hotel reception areas, transport terminals, sports stadiums etc). The ambient noise will be continuously sampled by the sensing microphone/s, sited as close to the source of charge as possible.
Where large areas have various localised sources of variable 'ambient' noise, it may be desirable to cover each with a separate sensor, (for example, an underground railway would benefit from having one sensor at each end to detect the noise of trains arriving from either direction).
