TC electronic SDN BHD 48 Fabrik C studio - even on talkback, Dim level, Talkback routing

CONTROL PANEL - MIXER PAGE

Let us take a closer look at the Talkback mixer-channel

Channel naming and channel input metering is described previously.

Fabrik C studio - even on talkback

Even on the talkback channel you can insert one of the Fabrik C compressors if you like.

Dim level

When activating the talkback function you most likely want to attenuate the mix level in the performer’s headphones. The Dim Level knob sets this level. The dim level can never be set higher than the normal level.*

Talkback routing

The AUX sends are typically used for setting individual mix levels on the two headphone outputs. The AUX 1, AUX 2 and MAIN buttons determine to which outputs the talkback signal should be sent.

Talk button

Press the TALK button on the Studio Kontrol Remote or on the mixer.

*Listen-back function

Per default all output channels are muted when talkback is activated. It is, however, possible to keep feeding selected channels to the outputs, even when the talkback is invoked.

For this we use the “Listen-back” function. Press TALK and you will see an “L” button appearing just below the MUTE “M” and SOLO “S” buttons on each channel.

Click the “L” on the channels you want to feed to the outputs when talkback is active.

Notice that the listen-back function overrides the dim function in order to be able to communicate with the recording musicians.

19 AUX Channels

This is the Fabrik R return level.

Press “M” to mute the Fabrik R return.

Even on the AUX channels you are allowed to insert one of the Fabrik C Studio compressors.

Assuming you use the AUX channels to set up one or two mixes for the headphone sets used by the recording artists, you may want to hear what you are currently sending to the AUX channels in the control room main monitors. Press “TO MAIN” to send to the AUX send to the main mix.
