Sound Devices 788T - Manual (Page 151)

When a RTN is activated, the current headphone monitor selection is dimmed by -20 dB to allow
for clearer monitoring of the Return signal. This behavior can be changed in the Setup Menu op-
tion HP: COMS AUTO GAIN CONTROL so that the headphone program remains at normal level or is
muted when a RTN is activated.
The respective Return signal is sent to the headphone monitor when the respective COM is activat-
ed. This allows the Sound Mixer to hear the return dialog from another crew member when commu-
nicating with them.
See COMs for details.
COMs
The COM1 and COM2 circuits can be routed to any headphone monitor or output in the Setup
Menu option COMMS: ROUTING. When a COM is activated, the Com Send signal replaces the pro-
gram feed sent to the outputs routed in the Setup Menu option COMMS: ROUTING. When a Com is
activated, the current headphone monitor selection is dimmed by -20 dB to allow for clearer moni-
toring of the Com send and return signal. This behavior can be changed in the Setup Menu option
HP: COMS AUTO GAIN CONTROL
so that the headphone program remains at normal level or is
muted when a COM is activated.
To route the COM1 or COM2 circuit to select destinations follow these steps.

2. Using the CL-9 Select Encoder (or 788T Rotary Switch), scroll through the available desti-
nations. The lower case lett ers represent headphone montiors and the numbers represent

3. Press in on the CL-9 Select Encoder to toggle the routing status of a selected destination. The
COM circuit is routed to all of the highlighted options.
To activate a COM, slide and hold the COM1/RTN1 or COM2/RTN2 switch to the left. Both COM1
and COM2 can be active at the same time. The COM1/RTN1 or COM2/RTN2 LEDs illuminates
solid green when the respective COM is active. When the respective COM is active, the Com Send
signal overrides the program being sent to the COM1 or COM2 output (not headphone) destinations
as defi ned in the Setup Menu option COMMS: ROUTING. The respective RTN is also activated to allow
the Sound Mixer to hear the return dialog from the destination.
The COM1 and COM2 level can be adjusted from -40 to 6 dB in 1 dB increments for each circuit. Fol-
low these steps to adjust the gain of the COM1 or COM2 signal from the CL-9.
