59X32 DIGITAL MIXER Preliminary User Manual

7.10.2Monitor/Talkback Screen: Talkback Tabs:

The talkback tabs offer various adjustments for the talkback paths of the console, such as destination of the talkback signal and more.

To adjust the various settings on the Talkback A tab, perform the following steps:

1.The screen displays a multi-segment level meter showing the signal strength of the talkback signal as it has currently been set. It also displays a multi- segment gain reduction meter, showing the user how much compression has been automatically applied to the talkback signal to keep its level even to the recipient.

2.Tap the 1st encoder to enable the talkback circuit. The internal/external talkback microphone will now transmit audio to the Talkback A path’s assigned destination.

3.Tap the 2nd encoder to switch the talkback circuit from the internal talkback to the external microphone connector. A 2nd tap of the encoder switches the console back to using the internal talkback microphone.

4.Adjust the 3rd encoder to set the gain of the talkback A signal. This is an additional gain stage that follows the initial gain stage set by the top panel Talk Level knob.

5.Tap the 3rd encoder to toggle on/off the talkback circuit’s “auto-dim” function. This function is useful in a studio setting, and will automatically dim the control room outputs when the talkback circuit is active.

This prevents a feedback loop from occurring between the talkback microphone and the nearby studio monitors.

6.Adjust the 4th encoder to scroll through the various talkback destinations, which include:

•Mix Bus 1-16

•LR Bus

•Center/Mono Bus

7.Tap the 4th encoder to activate any talkback destination when it is currently selected. Multiple talkback destinations can be selected, allowing the talkback signal to reach many destinations at the same time.

8.Tap the 5th encoder to toggle the dedicated top-panel talkback buttons between latching and non-latching operation.

9.Adjust the 6th encoder to adjust the brightness of the lamp that is connected to the console’s top-panel lamp connector.

10.Tap the 6th encoder to toggle the attached lamp on/off.

All controls for the talkback B tab work as described above, but pertain to the talkback B signal path.

7.10.3 Monitor/Talkback Screen: Oscillator Tab:

The oscillator tab offers controls for the console’s onboard oscillator, a very handy tool that can be used for setting up PA systems and testing various signal flow paths without the need for a live source feeding a microphone. Settings include oscillator type, frequency, volume, and routing destinations.

To adjust the various settings on the Oscillator tab, perform the following steps:

1.Adjust the 1st encoder to set the level of the onboard oscillator.

2.Tap the 1st encoder to toggle the onboard oscillator on/off.

•The color screen displays a multi-segment level meter that show the current level of the oscillator.

3.Adjust the 2nd encoder to set the frequency of the primary onboard oscillator.

4.Adjust the 3rd encoder to set the frequency of the alternate onboard oscillator.

5.Tap the 3rd encoder to alternate between the 2 onboard oscillators.

6.Adjust the 4th encoder to select the type of oscillator to be used. Choices include:

•Sine Wave

•Pink Noise

•White Noise

7.Tap the 4th encoder to engage the selected oscillator type.

8.Adjust the 6th encoder to select a destination for the onboard oscillator. Choices include:

•Mix Bus 1-16

•Main L Bus

•Main R Bus

•Main L+R Bus

•Main Center/Mono

•Matrix Outputs 1-6

9.Tap the 6th encoder to assign the selected oscillator destination.
