Chap. 3–Operating the MTLC-16

The Lab Communication Console is the heart of the MTLC-16 Music Lab. It provides routing capabilities similar to those of a telephone switchboard. For example, when a teacher needs to hear a particular student, or group of students, he or she can do so from the MTLC-16. When a teacher needs to arrange the class into four groups of four for quartet- style playing, he or she can do so from the MTLC-16. While rewiring a music lab for alternate configurations seems dif- ficult, it is actually quite simple. With the MTLC-16, the following applications are all possible from the Communication Console.

Instructor Level Control

Purpose

Allows the teacher to adjust the level of his or her microphone, instrument, and headphones for comfort and usability.

Procedure

Teacher’s Microphone

While speaking into the teacher’s microphone, set the “Mic” slider at a comfortable listening level. Sliding the slid- er towards the top of the MTLC-16 increases the listening level and sliding the sliders towards the bottom of the MTLC-16 decreases the listening level.

Teacher’s Instrument

While playing the teacher’s instrument, set the “Inst” slider at a comfortable listening level. Sliding the slider towards the top of the MTLC-16 increases the listening level and sliding the sliders towards the bottom of the MTLC-16 decreases the listening level.

Teacher’s Headphone

While playing the teacher’s instrument and/or speaking into the teacher’s microphone, set the “Phones” slider at a comfortable listening level. Sliding the slider towards the top of the MTLC-16 increases the listening level and sliding the sliders towards the bottom of the MTLC-16 decreases the listening level.

Details

These sliders are most commonly used for adjusting the level of the teacher’s microphone, instrument, and headphones for comfort and usability. However, the microphone and instrument sliders also affect recording levels when “Mon. Out” is used for Lab Performance Recording.

•The selected student hears: “Mic” and “Instr” level changes.

•The teacher hears: “Mic,” “Instr,”and “Phones” level changes.

•The unselected student hears: only his or her own instrument and microphone.
