INHIBITING GATING FOR UNWANTED SOUNDS An existing sound system using 24-volt relays can be used with the SCM410 without modification if the relay coil current draw is under 500 mA. MaxBus attempts to activate only one microphone per sound source. Muting a microphone channel prevents its audio from appearing at the D=1N4148 mixer's output. However, the muted microphone still communicates with other mic channels via MaxBus. A sound source picked up by a muted mi- DD crophone will not activate othe
