6 Check that the ERL (Echo Return Loss) meter in the AEC component is moving. If this meter is moving over a wide range it means that a large portion of the pink noise being output from the speaker is being picked up by the corresponding microphone, and therefore a large amount of echo will be transmitted to the remote location. Carefully adjust the positions and pickup directions of the four microphones in relation to the speakers in order to reduce this echo level as much as possible. The more you can reduce the echo at this stage, the more effective the AEC will be. NOTE • If the local meeting room is very reflective or reverberant, it may be difficult to reduce the echo level sufficiently by simply repositioning the microphones and speakers. In such cases it may be necessary to apply acoustic panels to the walls or use other means to reduce room reflections. • If only the green segment of the ERL meter lights, setting the "Effect" parameter to 1 or 2 should be optimum, but if the yellow segment of the ERL meter lights an "Effect" setting of 3 or 4 will be required to produce the best results. Since the actual effectiveness of the processing will depend on the rooms in which it is used it is important make adjustments while actually connected to and conferring with the remote location. • If the input signal becomes distorted for any reason before it reaches the Near-end Mic. 1 - 4 inputs of the AEC component, echo cancelling will not function properly. 7 Enter the microphone-to-speaker distance in meters into the Acoustic Echo Canceller section "Distance" field. If multiple speakers are used, enter the distance between the microphone and nearest speaker for each channel. If the distance is less than 2 meters, use the default value of "2". For greater distances enter the appropriate value. MY4-AEC Owner's Manual 17
