<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think we do really need the AGC settings, the
audio levels are uncontrolled without it. We avoid echo issues with them, maybe
do you use the Compressor feature?. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is some trouble with people that speak louder
or lower. I think there has to be a right way to set it... </FONT></DIV>

some advice?</FONT></DIV>
