The MU 6040 may also be used to switch on and
off a loudspeaker in PA system with separate

AM 6040 Ambient Microphone

The AM 6040 Ambient Microphone Unit is
designed to detect ambient noise in a conference
room.
The purpose of an ambient microphone is to
provide sound from a meeting room/conference
hall, when there is no speaker/chairman active
using their microphones.
The microphone should be placed in a central
position in the room, but not too close to anyone;
thereby the microphone is able to pick up sound
from activities in the room/hall (chairs being
moved, paper being picked up, low voices and so
on).
Transmission of ambient noise rather than
transmitting no sound at all is a desirable feature
from listeners attending the meeting via
headphones. The ambient noise indicates to the
listeners, that there is no speaking activity going
on, and this information is very nice to have, when
interpreters are doing interpretation, and the
speaker stops speaking.
The AM 6040 Ambient Microphone Unit is
designed for installation above a recessed ceiling
for connection to an external microphone like DIS
model HM 4042 or GM 652x series of gooseneck
microphones.
The AM 6040 is delivered in a shielded metal
mounting box like the MU 6040.
• Automatic activation of the microphone, if no
Chairman or delegate units are turned ON and
the LineIn Volume (LineIn>Loudspk) is set to
OFF.
• Setting of the volume of the ambient noise
audio level on the CU 60xx.
Note: One ambient noise microphone can be active in
the DCS6000 system at one time.

Mini-DIN microphone connector (only “F”

models)
A Mini-DIN microphone connector is located at the
back for connection of FD/FC front plates with GM
65xx F series of gooseneck microphones. The HM
4042 Hand Microphone can also be connected.
This connecter is intended for use, where the
connection to the microphone is remotely from the
front plate, which is only on customised units.

HD 15S connector (only MU 604x models)

The HD 15S is used for direct remote connection of
FD/FC series of front plates or Microphones (e.g.
HM 4042 or GM 652x in external outlet) or/and
microphone control buttons, LED indicators and
loudspeaker. Please refer to the technical section for
pin layout
Important: The microphone input at the above
mentioned connectors does only support DIS
microphones and do not support other types of
microphones i.e. third part microphones.

Operation modes The “System Operation Mode” also called ‘CU

mode’ determines the behaviour of the microphone
System modes system. The mode is set on the CU 60xx..
The 6000 series microphones work in different
modes - according to the settings of the system. The following modes are available when the CU
60xx runs standalone (PC with SW 6000 has never
been connected):

Automatic Auto (or Automatic) mode allows for the microphone units to be switched on
immediately upon pressing the microphone ON/OFF button.
This is indicated by a red light in the ‘Speak’ lamp in the microphone unit. Pressing the
microphone ON/OFF button again will turn the microphone off.
If the ‘maximum speakers (delegates)’ is reached, the speak request will be rejected.
Microphones with Chairman priority will always be turned on (a Chairman Unit is
always in Auto or VOX mode).
FIFO FIFO is an automated mode. The microphone unit functions in the same way as in
automatic mode as long as the number of turned on delegate units is less or equal to the
selected ‘maximum speakers’.
When the maximum number is reached, the next delegate pressing the ON/OFF button
will be put in the top of the request queue. The green ‘Request’ lamp flashing indicates
this.
More delegates will be put in the request queue when they press their ON/OFF buttons,
until the maximum of requests is reached. Their green ‘Request’ lamps will light up
steadily.
When one of the active microphone units is switched off, the first delegate unit in the
queue is automatically switched ON, and the next delegate unit in the queue will flash
with the green ‘Request’ lamp.
This mode will normally be used with only 1 as maximum speakers.
Microphones with Chairman priority will always be turned on directly.
Manual Manual mode features a request list, where ‘Delegates’ are inserted in a queue upon
pressing the microphone ON/OFF button. This is confirmed by green light in the
‘Request’ lamp in the delegate unit. It is possible to cancel the request by pressing the
button again.
The microphone can only be switched on from a PC running SW 6000 software, from
the DC 6990 (Chairman unit) or from a control system like AMX or Crestron. This will
be indicated by red light in the ‘Speak’ lamp in the microphone unit. At this point the
delegate can switch off the microphone by pressing the ON/OFF microphone button.
Microphones with Chairman priority will always be turned on directly.

VOX VOX, voice activation mode, allows for the microphone units to be switched on
automatically if speaking in the microphone or by pressing the microphone ON/OFF
button.
This is indicated by a red light in the ‘Speak’ lamp in the microphone unit. Pressing the
microphone ON/OFF button again will turn the microphone off.
The microphone turns of automatically after finished talking after the time defined in the
“Release Time” setting, which is normally 4 seconds. The microphone can also be turned
off by pressing the ON/OFF button.
A Chairman Unit is always in Auto or VOX mode.
Please note, that Dual Units (like MU 6042) and units operation in a ‘Microphone
