Crestron QM-AE QuickMediaTM Audio Extractor QuickMediaTM Audio Extractor: QM-AE Introduction Features and Functions The QM-AE is a QuickMediaTM (QM) device designed to extract the audio portion of a QM signal and provide a balanced line-level audio output. [. . . ] Valid analog values range from -800d (-80dB) to 0d (0dB), adjustable in increments of 0. 1dB (1d = 0. 1dB). A value of -800d (-80dB) signifies the minimum mixing level and will cut the mixing level to a complete mute. A mixing level of 0d (0dB) means that the signal will pass unaffected. Out of range values will clip the mixing level to the minimum or maximum value. Indicates the current mixing level being applied to MIC 2 on the AUDIO SPCH channel.

LEFT IN is mixed with RIGHT IN, MIC 1 and MIC 2, and routed to the AUDIO SPCH channel. Valid analog values range from -800d (-80dB) to 0d (0dB), adjustable in increments of 0. 1dB (1d = 0. 1dB). A value of -800d (-80dB) signifies the minimum mixing level and will cut the mixing level to a complete mute. A mixing level of 0d (0dB) means that the signal will pass unaffected. Out of range values will clip the mixing level to the minimum or maximum value. Indicates the current mixing level being applied to LEFT IN on the AUDIO SPCH channel. Sets the RIGHT IN mixing level on the AUDIO SPCH channel. RIGHT IN is mixed with LEFT IN, MIC 1 and MIC 2, and routed to the AUDIO SPCH channel. Valid analog values range from -800d (-80dB) to 0d (0dB), adjustable in increments of 0. 1dB (1d = 0. 1dB). A value of -800d (-80dB) signifies the minimum mixing level and will cut the mixing level to a complete mute. A mixing level of 0d (0dB) means that the signal will pass unaffected. Out of range values will clip the mixing level to the minimum or maximum value. Indicates the current mixing level being applied to RIGHT IN on the AUDIO SPCH channel. Sets the MIC 1 mixing level on the AUDIO L channel. MIC 1 is mixed with MIC 2, LEFT IN and RIGHT IN, and routed to the AUDIO L output channel. Valid analog values range from -800d (-80dB) to 0d (0dB), adjustable in increments of 0. 1dB (1d = 0. 1dB).
