The Distributed Automatic Volume Control (DAVC) is an algorithm which is using one or more microphones to measure the ambient audio/noise level, and adjusts the loudspeaker output level of the PA amplifier according to the ambient audio level.
The DAVC feature is available as from Turbine firmware 4.11.
To configure the DAVC, select Advanced AlphaCom > DAVC Settings.
AVC Algorithm
- Adjustment Mode:
- Positive Mode: Gain adjustment is from zero at AVC threshold level and adjusted postive. AVC Receiver should have a low base gain.
- Negative Mode: Gain adjustment is from zero at AVC max level and adjusted with negative gain downwards. AVC Receiver should have a high base gain.
- Lower Threshold [-95 - 0]: The microphone signal level where AVC starts to work. Below this level no adjustment is done, and Audio Receivers should work on default base gain
- Upper Threshold [-95 - 0]: The microphone signal level where AVC stops to work. Above this level, no adjustment is done. The difference between upper and lower threshold also defines the working range for AVC gain adjustments. In negative AVC mode this also defined the ambient level where configured base output gain is reached (offset adjustment is zero)
- Attack Rate [0.1 - 200]: This determines how quickly the AVC adjusts gain on raising ambient audio level
- Decay Rate [0.1 - 200]: This determines how quickly the AVC adjusts gain on falling ambient audio level
- Hysteresis [0.00 - 6.00]: Hysteresis around previous set ambient audio level before doing adjustments
- Far-End Lockout Time [0.0 - 1.0]: When playing audio in AVC Zone (far-end-signal) all AVC adjustments are locked. When there is a pause in far-end-signal, adjustment commences after this lockout-time
