Assigning Talkback

When a channel is assigned as talkback
source in the iD mixer application system
panel, the equivalent mixer channel strip
updates to become a talkback channel.

Channels will be presented in the talkback
assign menu as per their labelling in the
mixer scribble (console tape) strip. As such
they are easy to identify.

No talkback microphone has been included
within iD22 as these small electret
contact microphone often pickup lots of
switch press and handling noise. For many
who record vocalists, one input for the
artist will be enough so we suggest using
a talkback microphone in Input 2, however
any of the digital inputs could also be used.

Gooseneck Microphone Use

If recording a vocalist or
drummer (with ASP008
expansion) one microphone
channel on the
iD22 provides
the perfect place
to use a gooseneck
talkback microphone to facilitate
desktop communication & monitor control.

Talkback Channel Strip

When an assigned channel
converts to talkback operation,
cue A & B send level and pan
remain, allowing you to route
talkback signal to artists via
the cue mixes. A channel info
box shows adjusted parameter
values and a routing box shows
which active channel is set as
talkback.

A secondary talkback button
is located on the talkback
channel which can be used
to trigger talkback whilst
setting up the software mixer.
You can assign the talkback
switch to an ‘F’ key in the
master section.
