Hi guys
We have either a very loud aircon or overly sensitive mic (Shure sm7b) on our news reader position
Is there any way we could use a noise gate type of setting to kill this
Its worst when the reader takes a pause you can hear the aircon noise being expanded in the silenceHave you turned on "noise reduction"?
If you have, but the noisegate doesn’t "catch" the noise, then try lowering his mic level until the noise gate closes (dark red meters come down).
However, if the noise is that high, that may be indicative of a bigger problem. Really, you’d need VERY loud noise for it to get that loudly into a proper, directional mic.
How far from the mic does this mic reader speak?
Best,
///LeifHave you turned on "noise reduction"?

///LeifI would use a gating mic processor in the studio or a compressor with a gate into the insert of your mic channel. This will gate the noise at source and leave nothing for the processor to handle. Also you want to have the mic gain set to the lowest you can while still hearing the announcer loud and clear, again removing the noise at source so that the gate has less background noise to cope with. Maybe the Mic has a -10dB pad?
