# How to use audience mute - HDL410

Audience mute is a feature included with Adaptive Voice Amplification for the Nureva® HDL410 systems. This feature is only available for use when Adaptive Voice Amplification is enabled. Adaptive Voice Amplification allows a presenter’s voice to be amplified in the room and lets the presenter control the microphone pickup of the in-room audience. Here’s an overview:

- When Adaptive Voice Amplification is enabled, the default is the in-room audience being heard.
- Turning **on** the audience mute feature **prevents** audience members’ voices from being heard by the remote participants.
- Turning **off** the audience mute feature **allows** the in-room audience to be heard by the remote participants.

> [!NOTE]
> Audience mute is also included with the HDL310. The feature uses the same commands with both devices.

## Turning audience mute on and off

Press F2 on the remote control to switch audience mute on and off.

### **OFF (default)**

- Remote participants hear the presenter.
- Remote participants hear the in-room audience.
- The microphone and speaker bar status indicator lights are blue.

### **ON**

- Remote participants hear only the presenter.
- The audience is muted.
- The microphone and speaker bar status indicator lights are magenta.

Enabling audience mute before starting or joining a conference will mute the in-room audience at the beginning of the session. Audience mute can be turned off at any time.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Audience mute returns to the default (off) state when a conference has concluded. When the next conference starts, the audience mute feature will be turned off, unless it’s intentionally switched on.
