A&H SQ6 AMM Auto Mic Mixer question.
Kevin Maxwell:
I posted this over on the A&H SQ forum but I thought I would post it here also because I think this forum gets more traffic and a lot of knowledgeable people.
I am very familiar with Automixers, a little bit with the Dan Dugan but mostly with the Shure SCM810. Today working with a local sound company we installed an SQ6 (with its version of an Automixer the AMM) in a room where they have board meetings. There will be 20 wireless table top gooseneck mics and 2 Hand Held wireless mics. The already installed ceiling speaker system that we had to tie into isn’t the greatest but it is usable and should be fine with everything on the AMM. I got the system sounding pretty good with one of the table top mics. In my experience since I have done this many times before, I figured I could just add the other table top mics but before I got past 4 of them up I was having feedback issues. I have been able to do a similar thing with 30 wireless bodypacks that with the Automixer working I could get one working and add all of the others with no problems, because the output was always equal to one mic. I know this (SQ Mixer AMM) is an attempt at a Dan Dugan style of automixer but it isn’t working like one. Are there any tricks to making this work better? I have all of the channel priority levels set to 0, do I need to decrease the priority level on all of the channels to make things work. I ran out of time today and actually have to teach the client how to use this early on Monday. I did get it all working with all of the mics turned up but not with the kind of gain I feel I should have.
Does anybody have any experience with this type of scenario with the AMM or have any suggestions.

Thank you but that didn't help. The SQ AMM is different than the QU in a few ways and similar in others. But that isn't my problem.

I watched those videos this morning before going to the venue where the SQ6 is installed. And I have a feeling that if the NOM version that they show in there where to be available in the SQ that might work for this install (if it functions properly) because the AMM in the SQ6 is not working as I am using to them working.
Thank your attempt to help me.
