Talkback features
Talkback control
The talkback section provides the facilities to take either an external input signal, or an internal-
ly generated pink noise signal and route it to the consoles outputs.This is useful for making
announcements from the mix position and for performing system diagnostics when other signal
sources are not readily available.
Talkback Sources
The talkback control section can get its signal from three possible sources.
1) TB IN- An XLR jack located below the consoles armrest. Suited for Mic level inputs, Phantom
power is available on this jack via an internal jumper.
2) Pink noise generator,The internal noise generator can be selected with the PINK NOISE
switch. Depressing this switch both activates the internal noise generator and de-selects the TB
IN jack.Whichever of these two sources is selected is considered the “Internal” signal. NOTE: It
is ONLY this “Internal” signal that is fed to the External TB Out XLR jack when the TALK-
BACK OUT switch is depressed.
3) External TB IN- This XLR is located on the rear of the Master Module. Its line-level signal is
mixed with the “Internal” signal whenever EXT TB ON is depressed.The combination of this
Ext Input and the Internal source is what is fed to the modules when the Talkback is active.
Pink Noise switch
The talkback control section gets its internal source signal from the Talkback XLR mic
inputs.
The talkback control section gets its internal signal from the pink noise generator.
Talkback Level
This control sets the level of the talkback signal, whether it is from the external input or
consists of the internal pink noise generator.
TB ON - Talk back on
This "soft" switch activates the Talkback section.An internal RED LED will illuminate to indicate
that the TB is active.The Talkback section must be activate in order for any of its features to
work.
Tap switch once - This will toggle the Talkback section on and off.Tap once to turn it on,
when you're done tap it again to turn it off.
Press and hold - The switch will work as a momentary button if pressed and held for
more than two seconds.While the button is down, the Talkback section is activated.When you
release the button, the Talkback section shuts off.
EXT TB ON
When this switch is depressed, the signal from the rear-panel Ext TB In jack is mixed with
the internal TB signal.The TB Level pot and TALK ON switch control this input.
TALKBACK OUT
When this switch is depressed, the internal signal from the TB section is sent to the rear-
panel Ext TB Out jack.The TB Level pot and TALK ON switch control this output.
