talkback features

The TALKBACK system provides facilities for assigning an external signal (usually the console operator's microphone) to any of the console's out- puts.

The Talk Back system is commonly used for testing the console's output section.

+

Other signals can be routed through the TALKBACK system including an external tone oscillator or the built-in PINK NOISE generator.

talkback level

This control sets the level that appears at any of the outputs with their respective TALK TO switches engaged. It also governs the audio level at the TALKBACK output XLR connector on the rear-panel.

pink noise

The TALKBACK in-connector is disabled and PINK NOISE is sent though the TALKBACK system.

Talk On

This switch must be activated for the TALKBACK system to operate. There are two-ways to activate it:

1Momentary—Depressing the button for more than 1/2 of a second will cause it to act as a momentary switch.When the button is released, the TALKBACK section will be shut-off.

2On / Off — A quick tap on the button (less than 1/2 second) will cause the switch to electronically change its state from on-to-off or from off-to-on.

left/right/center—LCR TO OUTPUTS

This feature is useful for monitoring the console when creating an LCR mix. Local monitoring is usually done with two speakers.The LCR to out- puts feature combines the center (or mono) signal with the left and right signals, creating a phantom center channel.This feature affects the ALT OUT section, the MONITOR OUT section, the HEARING ASSIST output and the head- phone feed.

Center (mono) channel is not included in the MONITOR paths.

The center (or mono) channel is combined with left and right MON- ITOR outputs.This makes it possible to hear the center channel without a designated speaker.

This feature affects	+
the Alt Out section,
the Monitor out section,
the Hearing Assist output
and the Headphone feed.
This makes it possible	+
to hear the Center

channel without

a designated speaker.
