Pan thus provides precise control over where the audio from any channel input is
heard – whether exclusively on output channel A, B, or in differing amounts on both
channels.
4.5.3 TALK
Talk is an abbreviation of “Talk Over”. The Talk feature is only shown for inputs
when they are set to Mic.
1. Reset Pan and Mute controls to their defaults, and start DDR 1 playing the
audio tone file again.
2. Set Input 2 to Mic (using the Connection menu in the Audio Configuration
panel for Input 2).
3. Click the Talk button at the bottom of the Input 2 control group, watching
DDR 1’s VU meter as you do so.
Enabling Talk causes the level for all other audio sources to drop off by 20dB,
allowing Input 1 to dominate. This is very useful for public address announcements,
which is its principal purpose.
