Six plug and play smart Wall Plate accessories, unmatched in the industry, expand the AZM capabilities and allow for future scalability. Accessories include 3 x Audio Inputs; balanced Mic / Line XLR, dual RCA stereo summed with 3.5mm, and Bluetooth® audio wall plate inputs, 2 x Controllers; Volume Controls, Volume Controls with Source Select, Scene Recall, and Message Playback, and 1 x Ambient Noise Sensor for Ambient Noise Compensation control. Any control accessory can be daisy chained on a single cable digital bus and assigned to any zone, reducing installation wiring time and complexity. For additional peace of mind, turn on accessory "Self-Heal" after set-up. In the event an accessory wall plate become inoperable, field swap that wall plate with a new one and it will restore the settings to the new accessory without any re-programming required.
Configurable Mobile Device Control
With the ability to turn any mobile device into a virtual "App-Less" zone controller by simply scanning a QR Code with a phone or tablet, Atmosphere mobile control is the easiest, most cost-effective way to provide zone control to the customer. Setup the type of control you want on the user's device, print QR codes directly from the settings page and mount in their respective zone using the X-GEM mounting frame.
Comprehensive Web User Interface with Dynamic Dashboard
Atmosphere features a user-friendly web-based User Interface (UI) controller with deep dive capabilities to meet the most expansive and complex of user requirements. Source inputs feature a full suite of DSP with dynamics like gates, de-esser, compressor, 4 band EQ, and auto-gain. Zone outputs have, 4-level priority ducking, crossover, 8-band EQ, automatic noise compensation, and limiter that splits for Sub + Main, with output speaker presets based on AtlasIED speaker models. Events can be scheduled in a familiar calendar format with a dashboard that displays the upcoming schedules events. Actions that include Scenes, Messages, GPO Presets, Bell Schedule Recall, Room Combine, can be scheduled or triggered by GPI's, UI, virtual, or mounted wall controllers. Continuous system monitoring is contained within a dashboard view to simplify oversight of all the functions.
Stereo and Subwoofer Support
AZM4 and AZM8 are now capable of seamlessly supporting stereo sources, stereo zones, and zones with subwoofers. When creating a source, choose between mono or stereo for that source. When creating a zone, choose between mono, mono+sub, stereo, and stereo+sub. Proper controls are automatically linked, appropriate DSP objects are created, etc. Features such as automatic ambient noise compensation continue to operate as expected and are compatible with new source and zone types.
Room Combine / Zone Grouping
In addition to the new zone types (stereo, subwoofer), two or more zones can now be combined to create a group. When grouped, the zones all share a common source and volume control. Individual zone volume offsets can be applied at commissioning as well as during runtime. The combined and uncombined state can be recalled via GPI, C-ZSV controller, virtual wall controller (mobile), scheduled events, and more.

User Manual
Bell Scheduler
Great for education, industrial, and corporate markets, our bell scheduler allows for multiple bells, ring lists, and schedules to be created to support both pre-planned schedules as well as planned and unplanned exceptions. Initial setup is easy to follow and understand, all while providing all the tools for even the most complex of schedules. End user control is simple through either a wall controller, mobile controller, or with the new "Planner" user access level. A user with Planner access level has full control over adding, editing, deleting bells and other scheduled events such as Scenes, Messages, or Routines.
Actions and Triggers - Routines, Scenes
With the addition of Room Combine and Bell Scheduler, and to allow for easier management of system capabilities, Scenes has been simplified to only include zone/source/volume settings. Messages now reside in the Messages section, and logic output settings are managed through the new GPO Presets tab in the GPIO menu.
The AZM4 and AZM8 have numerous capabilities which are called Actions. An Action is defined as either a Scene, Message, GPO Preset, Bell Schedule Recall, or Room Combine. Each Action can be recalled by any one of a number of Triggers. A Trigger can either be the web UI, wall controller, virtual wall controlled, scheduled event, front panel control, or GPI (button press). Routines allow you to combine two or more actions, to be performed simultaneously. Setting up a Routine is as simple as choosing which Actions should be combined.
Expanded Mixing Capabilities
Each Atmosphere AZM allows up to 4 user defined sub-mixes. Each of the 4 mixes can mix any and all of the input sources together. That's all 14 inputs on AZM8 and all 10 on AZM4.

Hardware Overview
AZM4 and AZM8 Front Panel
1. WiFi Enable
Out of the box, the AZM is configured to connect to an existing network via the back panel ethernet port. However, there are two additional methods for connecting to the AZM for configuration, WiFi or Access Point mode, enabled from the front panel menu. If no existing network is available, it is recommended that the onboard WiFi (Access Point mode) be used for initial configuration.
2. Display
The Display is a multi-functional status interrogator and visual activity monitor. It is designed to provide "quick look" verification of selections when in front of the unit and when the UI is not handy. It also allows configuration of network (ethernet, WiFi, and access point) settings.
When first powering the AZM, the Display will show the IP address and the Outputs activity. At the bottom is the Menu > Navigation. Pressing the Navigation control knob will step thru the menu tree in the following order:
- Zone Control – Change sources, volumes, and mute state in any zone. The user can also recall Actions. This has to be configured within the UI before access is given.
- Network – See network status and settings; change mode between access point, WiFi, ethernet; change connection to available networks by signal strength, enter SSID.
• I/O Signals – Select Inputs or Outputs individually and see signal activity. - Accessories – See Accessories connected to Ports A, B, (AZM4) and A, B, C, or D (AZM8) select and read specific menu of Accessory and find location.
- Faults -- Displays "Live" fault events only. (Live faults also cause the light base to flash red.) To clear a live fault, you must resolve the issue. Example: If two audio accessories (A-XLR, A-RCA, or A-BT) are plugged into the same bus-port, the "fault" appears in the menus and will lead you to the description of the fault. In this example, the fault doesn't go away until one of the two audio accessories on the port is unplugged or removed. It can take up to 30 seconds to clear the display after correcting the fault.
- Sensor Data – Read temperature sensor data from I/O; CPU; PSU (power supply unit).
- System Clock – Read Time/Date; refresh NTP.
- Firmware Info – Read current firmware version and last updated Date/Time.
- Lock – Lock/Unlock menu display.
3. Navigation Control & Factory Reset
To cycle through display menus, press knob. To select an option, turn to move cursor & press.
To Factory Reset unit from the front panel, remove power and re-power, then press and hold front panel Navigation Control within 60 seconds.
Note: To save Settings prior to Factory Reset, go to Settings, Configurations and Save file to computer for upload after reset. When left undisturbed for 60 secs, the display will return to the default = Outputs.

Cabling
Balanced Inputs & Outputs - Use of 2 conductor w/shield for low level signals of 20-22 gauge is best. Maintain the proper polarity, + to +, - to - and shield to ground. Note: When using an unbalanced source on the 3.5mm Euro Connector, connect the GND to - with a jumper wire. (see unbalanced image in connections guide).
For the RCA inputs, pre-made RCA cables can be purchased from AtlasIED to simplify interconnection to external devices.
https://www.atlasied.com/volume-controls-cables-audio-cables-unbalanced-audio
For RJ45 connections, use CAT5e or CAT6 (non-shield) network cable with T-568B or A wiring. Pre-made network cables must be pin-to-pin. Do not use cross-over network cables. Always use best practices while terminating RJ45s to cables, keeping pairs twisted up to the connector. Avoid tight bends and kinks in the wire path. Note: Pre-made cables may be more difficult to fit in back boxes when used with accessory wall plates. See line drawings with dimensions in the back of this manual for depth consideration.

Gate
- Gates, sometimes referred to as Noise-Gates, are typically used to reduce noise from an open microphone when placed in a noisy environment by turning off or reducing the gain until the intended signal is present. The signal must reach the threshold setting to open the Gate and allow the mic to be heard. When the signal goes below the threshold, the Gate closes again. A common use for this feature is when making announcements in noisy rooms. The Gate can be adjusted to keep the mic muted until someone walks up and speaks directly into it, thereby reducing the PA system from amplifying the crowd chatter.
- Enable the Gate and Active indicator.

User Manual
- The dynamic settings can be adjusted with left or right arrows or by entering the desired number. The dynamic settings are defined as follows:
• Threshold: the signal level required to engage the Gate.
- Attack Time: amount of time to fully engage (Gate, De-Esser, Compressor, Limiter) after signal level increases beyond the threshold.
- Hold Time: amount of time (Gate, De-Esser, Compressor, Limiter) is held after the signal level decreases below the threshold.
- Release Time: amount of time to fully disengage (Gate, De-Esser, Compressor, Limiter) after hold time has expired.
-
Range: amount of gain reduction where -100 is totally off.
-
Graphic display of settings, the "T" is the Threshold that can be dynamically adjusted with a mouse.
-
The Gain Reduction (Range setting) shows Red when the Gate is engaging. In this example, the Gate is effectively shut because the signal is below the Threshold setting required to open it.
De-Esser
- De-Essers are used when a high frequency (around 5000Hz) sibilance (S-sounds) are too pronounced in speech. The objective is to reduce the sibilance at the frequency where it is too loud.
- Enable the De-Esser and Active indicator.
- Settings: Frequency (Hz), Sensitivity, Amount (dB), Hold Time (ms), Release Time (ms)
• Frequency: the target frequency where the sibilance (S-sounds) is most pronounced.
- Sensitivity: how much level at the target frequency is required to engage De-Esser.
• Amount: amount of gain reduction applied after De-Esser engages.
- Hold Time: amount of time the De-Esser is held after the signal level decreases below the sensitivity setting.
- Release Time: amount of time to fully disengage after hold time has expired.
Example method of setting a De-Esser:
First find the Frequency where the sibilance is worse case; start around 5KHz and move up/down with the "Amount" set high, +20dB or more to emphasize issue. When the problem area is found, adjust the sensitivity so the De-Esser is only active when sibilance is present. Turn it up until it is making the vocalist "Ss" and "Ts" hard to hear, then dial back a bit. Set the "Amount" (gain reduction) lower until it sounds more natural.
"Hold" should be longer than the sibilance & "Release Time" should typically be between 8 and 18ms, so it can't be easily noticed.
- The display can be used dynamically to move the curve while listening.
- This meter shows the activity of the Gain Reduction in real time to help adjust as necessary.

Compressor
- A compressor is a dynamic setting that can automatically reduce peaks in volume and smooth out a radically changing signal. It is used differently depending on what instrument or signal is being tamed. Compressing reduces the peak levels by squashing the sound into more even levels, reducing channel clipping, while remaining loud. A good setting sounds natural and rich. The art of setting up a compressor correctly takes some practice. While learning, subtle changes are a good routine.
- Enable the Compressor and Active indicator.
- Settings: Threshold, Ratio, Knee, Attack Time, Hold Time, Release Time, Makeup Gain.
• Threshold: The signal level required to engage the Compressor.
• Ratio: The amount of reduction compared to signal when compressing.
- Knee: The smoothing curve at the Threshold.
- Attack Time: The amount of time to fully engage the Compressor after signal level increases beyond the threshold.
- Hold Time: The amount of time Compression is held after the signal level decreases below the threshold.
-
Release Time: The amount of time to fully disengage the Compressor after hold time has expired.
• Makeup Gain: This is a way to level up gain that is reduced by the Compression. -

Auto-Gain Control
When stepping to a microphone, everyone speaks with a different level of voice projection; some almost whisper and some sound like they are shouting. Background music levels can be inconsistent between tracks. These are just a couple examples of issues the Auto-Gain Control (AGC) can help solve. Auto-Gain attempts to maintain a consistent output level regardless of variations in input level. This allows an integrator to set target input source levels for a room, letting the Auto-Gain maintain levels "in-target range" so adjusting controls is not necessary.
- The input channel remains accessible for adjustment while using setup pages.
- Enable-ON/OFF (bypass)
-
Dynamic settings: Threshold, Target Level, Target Window, Max Boost/ Cut, Speed.
-
Threshold: Auto-Gain will only be active when the input signal's RMS levels exceed the threshold setting.
• Target Level: This is the RMS level which Auto-Gain attempts to maintain. - Target Window: When AGC output level is within the Target Window, AGC does not modify the gains. This is a sort of hysteresis control which helps AGC avoid being over-active once the general target gain has been reached. 15 dB is a good general setting for speech or music. Reduce the window to keep output levels closer to the target. Increase the window if AGC is causing noticeable "pumping" gain movements during normal operation.
• Max Boost/ Cut: These dictate how much gain the algorithm can boost/ cut as it attempts to maintain the required output level.
• Speed: How fast Auto-Gain adjusts gains to maintain the requested output level.
Note: A higher "Speed" is likely to produce the best results for voice while a slower "Speed" setting is best for background music applications.
- AGC Input bar graph level with threshold setting and AGC Output level with target setting to manage settings range.
- Bar graph meter displays the applied boost/ cut gain (dB) to keep signal in range in real time.

Audio Wall Plate Accessories that begin with an "A", denoting that they are audio inputs, include:
A-XLR, A-RCA, and A-BT. Note: Only one audio input accessory can be connected to each bus-port (AZM4 has Ports A & B; AZM8 has Ports A,B,C,D). Once the Audio Wall Plate is connected to the AZM bus-port, the input associated with the bus-port will activate and can be selected as an input source where general settings can be configured. The general settings DSP available will be the same as source inputs.
To add an Audio accessory, begin by opening the Accessory tab and connect the accessory to a port that does not have another Audio accessory. When an audio wall plate accessory is connected to one of the 4 ports (AZM8), the device will show up on the respective port and display the type. When it becomes active, the indicator displays a green check mark (#3). It will then appear on the input source selection list in the Add Source popup configuration page.
- The accessory input ports remain unpopulated until an accessory is present and detected on the bus-port.
- Once connected, like Port A, B & C, the port will light up and identify the accessory type. The top default name can be edited, the lower ID with type and port number, will not change. This is the accessory part number and not the same as the Input Source Name. Clicking on the "?" will show a description of the accessory type for reference.
- After the accessory is recognized, a green check appears indicating it is updated and ready to use. Note: It can take up to 30 seconds for an audio wall plate to be detected and start streaming audio.
- Click on this "Locate" icon to flash the LED on the accessory to aid in finding its physical location.
- The “>” icon is the link to the accessory page. The accessory page allows editing of the name, shows the location of the accessory on the bus port, and in some cases, basic settings specific to the type of Audio wall plate. Go to Source General Settings to configure the audio settings.
- After installing a system, switch on "Self-Heal" and the system will automatically retain the settings in the event a wall controller accessory requires replacement on a port. Simply remove the faulty unit and plug in the new; the system will recognize it and update the settings exactly as it was before. No additional programming will be required.

Zone - Ambient Noise Compensation - ANC
Ambient Noise Compensation works in conjunction with the X-ANS (Ambient Noise Sensor Accessory; see X-ANS install placement rules). The X-ANS is installed in the zone where the noise levels vary depending on activity and where the audio level needs to be managed so it can always be heard. For example, this can be used for keeping an announcement clear and intelligible above the changing ambient noise in the zone. This function allows ambient noise to control zone output level settings based on the ambient noise sensor's SPL when placed in the zone to be controlled. The sensor's dedicated filter helps it determine the noise to react to, and what to ignore, essentially "compensating" for the difference between the ambient noise and the audio levels; for example, an arcade area when full of people playing games vs when no one is playing games. The ambient noise sensor provides only data (not voice files) back to the AZM and ANC feature so it cannot be "listened" to and doesn't carry any privacy concerns. The settings page shows SPL readings to help establish range and levels. It also has an Auto mode where the system learns the ideal compensation gain settings from user adjustments to the zone's output levels. The Auto mode improves the all-around audio in a changing room.
- Select to open the Ambient Noise Compensation settings page.
- Enable On/bypass
-
ANC Parameters
-
Slope – How much dB gain to apply per dB change in noise level
- Attack – Gain increase rate in dB/second
- Release – Gain decrease rate in dB/second
- Sensitivity – Default 0. Set high enough to detect changes in ambient noise, and low enough to avoid false detections of system audio as ambient noise. If ANC cannot detect ambient noise while avoiding false noise detections, the ANS sensor should be moved closer to the noise source and farther from the speakers.
- ANC will actively modify gains when ambient noise lies within this range.
-
Panel for assigning and viewing X-ANS sensors. When Ambient Noise Sensors are connected, this panel displays the Estimated Noise SPL of each assigned X-ANS sensor.
-
Note: You may not see SPL information immediately after assigning an X-ANS sensor. The sensor takes 1-2 minutes to boot after plugging in, and ANC takes 10-30 seconds after that to train its adaptive filter before delivering SPL estimates.
- Note: In a large Zone, multiple Ambient Noise Sensors can be assigned to a single zone. When multiple sensors are used, the SPL results are averaged to avoid over-reaction to local noise hotspots. (See X-ANS on Accessory Settings Page for dynamic levels)

- Enables Auto Mode. Like a smart thermostat, the system will learn the ideal noise-compensating gains to apply as the end-user adjusts zone gains while the ANS sensor is assigned to the zone. Because of this, Auto Mode should be used in a system where the end-user will have control over zone gains via Main UI, Virtual Wall Controller, or C-V / C-ZSV accessories. After a few gain adjustments at the various ambient noise levels experienced in the zone, the system will be custom calibrated to react to the noise in a manner consistent with the end-user's specific preferences.
- Reset Auto Mode Target – This control resets the Auto Mode system to allow a fresh start for re-training the algorithm.
Note: It is recommended to use Auto-Gain on the source audio feeding the ANC algorithm. This facilitates a more consistent output signal level to help ensure that customers can hear the source audio in the affected zone.

Ambient Noise Sensor Placement
Correct placement of the X-ANS Ambient Noise Sensor is a critical, aspect of a good system installation. The X-ANS provides real-time noise level measurements to the Atmosphere's system that, in turn, allows the system to continuously adjust the zone output level to maintain an intelligible announcement above the current noise level in the zone. No system calibration is required, because the Ambient Noise Compensation system uses advanced adaptive filters to differentiate between system audio and ambient noise.
The sensors must be placed in a location within each zone to allow for optimal detection of the ambient noise level while maintaining the ability to distinguish between the noise and the PA system. This location is dependent on the speaker placement and the acoustical characteristics of the space where the sensor is located. Due to this complexity, there is no single rule to define exact sensor placement. However, there are five basic rules that should always be considered when placing the X-ANS Ambient Noise Sensor.
RULE 1: The distance between the sensor and the audience should be less than the distance between the sensor and the loudspeaker.
RULE 1:
The distance between the sensor and the audience should be less than the distance between the sensor and the loudspeaker

style B fill:#ccf,stroke:#333
style C fill:#cfc,stroke:#333
In most installations, the sensor will be placed in the ceiling located in the zone that it will control. The ANC system uses an adaptive filter to "learn" what the audio system contributes to the overall zone ambient noise level and then filter that portion out of the calculation when adjusting the level. When sensors are placed too close to the loudspeaker, the direct sound from the loudspeaker effectively masks the ambient noise from the sensor. While the algorithm should prevent the system from turning the level up based on the speaker output, the level will not properly track in real time as levels change since the sensor cannot properly detect the current level of ambient noise. Placing the sensor in a location that allows it to be closer to the source of the noise than the adjacent speakers will prevent the masking effect from impairing the performance of the system.
Atmosphere
User Manual
RULE 2: The sensor must be placed far enough away from the audience as not to pick up on individual conversations.
Placing the sensor too close to the source of ambient noise will cause the system to adjust primarily based on noise in one small location. In most systems, the ambient noise that is being detected is due to crowds of people moving into and out of the zone. If a sensor is placed too close to the crowd, it will pick up on individual conversations and the system will adjust based only on the isolated conversation. The sensor should be located where it will pick up the cumulative level of all conversations in the space. Multiple X-ANS sensors can be assigned to a single zone to help prevent over-reaction to a noise source in one specific part of the zone.
Note: The X-ANS sensor is not a microphone and does not pick up audio and transmit it back to the system. It converts levels to data and passes this level information back to the system. Therefore, there are no concerns that the system can violate any privacy.
RULE 3: Do not place a sensor at the edge of a zone where it will pick up sound from adjacent zones.
Placing the sensor too close to the edge of a zone can result in the level of the zone being adjusted based on program audio generated in the adjacent zone. Since the ANC algorithm only analyzes audio from the zone where the sensor resides, audio created by the PA system in an adjacent zone could cause the level of the parent zone to change. Placing the sensor in a centralized location within the zone will minimize the impact of audio from adjacent zones.

User Manual
RULE 4: The sensor should be placed towards the middle of the zone with nearly equal distance between the sensor and immediately adjacent loudspeakers.
The reason behind this rule is to prevent similar issues encountered when considering Rule 1. If a sensor is located too close to any one speaker, the sound from that speaker could easily mask the ambient noise level from the sensor while an announcement is in progress. Since one sensor is usually placed in a zone with many loudspeakers, it is best to place the sensor where it is nearly equidistant from the immediately adjacent loudspeakers.
RULE 5: In spaces with high ceilings, place the sensor along a side wall at a location 6 to 12 feet above the listener.
High ceiling spaces present a unique set of problems. In certain spaces, the ambient level near the top of the high ceiling does not vary significantly enough to match the noise changes near the floor. In this type of space, a sensor located in the high ceiling may lose its effectiveness. This problem is compounded when multiple zones are included in the same high-ceiling area. The ambient level is a culmination of the noise from all zones in the space. Therefore, it is usually best to place the sensors on a side wall or support column. This allows the sensor to be placed closer to the noise source and allows adherence to the previously mentioned rules. With this mounting location, adherence to Rule 2 is now more difficult. In order to provide proper level detection, the sensor should be located between 6 and 12 feet above the head of the listener. This would place the sensor between approximately 12 and 18 feet above the floor. This allows the sensor to be placed at a point that will reduce the effects of noise sources that are located close to the sensor location. As in Rule 2, multiple sensors may also be used to help avoid overreaction to localized noise sources.

Limiter
- The Output Limiter is used primarily for taming transient peaks to keep the output signal strength below a specified level. This can help prevent damage to loudspeakers in the event of unintended loud signals like the drop of a microphone. When Zones are Mono or Stereo, only the Main Limiter is displayed. When a Sub is added, a separate limiter is available to tame the energy of the Sub so it doesn't affect the Main.
- Enable On/bypass and Active indicator.
-
Protection for the output can be adjusted with the following parameters:
-
Threshold – level where the limiter starts limiting
- Knee – controls the abruptness of the limiting as audio nears the threshold
- Attack Time – how fast the limiter engages
- Hold Time – how long it stays in limit mode after peaks drop below threshold
-
Release Time – how fast the limiter stops after hold time.
-
This shows a signal Main output being limited to -20dB, and the input signal is being reduced (Gain Reduction). If the gain reduction is significant, reducing the source level will reduce the amount of Gain Reduction needed, without changing the output level at the zone. These settings can help smooth out the limiter's effect, so the audio sounds natural while still protecting the speakers in the system. Too much limiter will destroy the dynamic range of music.

Zone-Groups Overview
The Groups feature, also referred to as Room Combine, allows zones to be assigned to a group and then combined and uncombined by the following actions: Manually (using the "Combine" toggle), GPI, Scheduled event in a scene, or Recall as a routine. The Group also allows a source to be assigned to overtake the individual zone sources when the zones are combined.
The Zones page is where you add and configure the groups. Select ADD GROUP to open the configuration popup.
- Enter Group name. In this case, we want to combine Rm 1 + 2
- Select color and edit tag if desired.
- Select an input source for the group when combined if desired.
Note: This is optional and not required to proceed creating a group.
- Select zones to include in group.
- There are optional settings for un-combine:
a. Revert = Group source selected and level control "reverts" back to where they were set prior to combining.
b. Release = Group source selected, and level control stays where they are set for each zone in group after un-combining but are free to move separately.
After the Group has been added, it appears in the Group List. Up to 12 groups can be configured.
- Click on ADD GROUP to add another group. Further down, you will see we added a group to combine Rm 1+2+3.
- Group name and number of zones included, click "Show Zones" dropdown to adjust zone offset levels or mute any zone.
- Select or change the group source input from the input source drop down list. When the group is active, this source will overtake all of the grouped zone's sources. The group level will also overtake the zone's level setting and make them follow the group level fader. Zone levels will follow the group offsets when in combined state.
- Mute - select to mute group channel.
- ">” icon links to settings page allows changing the zone selections, un-combine action, and delete group.

- When the group "Combine" is activated, the zones in the group will show "Combined within" group name (Rm 1+2) and zone levels will be grayed-out. The zone level is now determined by the group primary fader + zone offset fader.
- The active source for the entire group is Mic-1. Select "Show Zones" to adjust settings for each zone and "Hide Zones" to close the dropdown group settings.
- For each zone level set -40dB to +40dB offset level referenced to the primary group level if needed. When combined, the offsets will engage, moving the primary level will also move the zones retaining the offset mix. (Example above: each Rm set +10dB offset to -23dB primary; when combined, -23dB + 10dB = -13dB.)
- In this example, we've added an additional group to combine all three rooms. If Rm 1+2 is active when combine is activated for Rm 1+2+3, it will automatically de-activate Rm 1+2 and activate Rm 1+2+3, along with Mic 1 as group selected source.
Note: When activating a group, any existing active group with overlapping sources will un-combine and allow the new group action to take priority. i.e. the last action takes priority.
