Communicating to your Boom Operator
Located directly beneath the label that reads TALKBACK is a button and a sliding switch. When the
switch is in the OFF position, it means that audio from the live mix is feeding out to the Boom Operator.
When the switch is moved to the ON position, it blocks the program audio and replaces it completely
with your talkback mic. Pressing the button activates the built-in microphone located in the upper right
hand corner of the Fader unit, just above the module for Channel 8.
Another way to address your Boom Operator is to use the slate mic located on the recorder itself. Be
aware, however, that any audio from the slate mic goes onto all of the tracks and would be recorded.
In the upper right hand corner of the Fader unit is a section labeled RETURN IN. These pots control the
mix of program audio versus return audio from the boom operator’s personal mic. The SOLO buttons
allow the sound mixer to only hear the communication, without the distraction of the program audio.
Sound mixer’s Headphones
The section labeled PHONES controls the main headphone feed coming out of the PHONES jack located
at the left front of the Fader unit.
