IFB Mode
This mode is used for one way 1 to 1
communication, e.g. director to talent. The talent will
constantly listen to the
IFB
Aux signal or the AUX
signal if the corresponding dip switch is in ‘off’
position (see point 8 internal controls / dip switches).
The director can talk over the Aux signal by pushing
and holding the IFB TALK button. The AUX volume
will be dimmed to a set IFB dim factor and the
microphone signal will be added to the IFB line.
To set the AUX volume see ‘AUX BUTTON’ (point
4.0 No. 17 )To set the IFB dim factor see ‘IFB
Button’ (point 4.0 No. 17)
In IFB mode the buzzer and mic mute buttons are
disabled.
PAGING Mode
This mode is used for one way communication to
dressing rooms etc. and can be 1 person to many.
An AUX signal can be sent to paging receivers of
which users can adjust their own listen volume.
When the TALK button of the PAGING channel is
pressed and held, it will override the volume setting
of the receivers to a preset volume. The AUX signal
will be dimmed by the preset PAGING Dim factor and
the MIC signal of the PS 6379 will be added. For
information on how to adjust the AUX volume, see:
‘AUX Button’ . The DIM factor is set by pressing and
holding the TALK button and turning the AUX level /
IFB dim knob. The set level will be shown on the
AUX level / IFB LED bar.
In PAGING Mode the Buzzer mute on this channel is
automatically activated and the buzzer mute button
and mic mute are disabled. Should the channel be in
both PAGING mode and System Link, the buzzer
mute button will be disabled but the buzzer mute will
not be activated. The PS 6379 will assume that the
buzzer mute is activated by the connected intercom
station.
NEAR STATION Mode
Multiple PS 6379 or PS 4379 stations in one room
can be linked as ‘NEAR STATIONS’. When linked,
the listen levels will be dimmed if a near station is
talking on the lines your own station is listening to.
For example: 3 stations are mounted in a directors
room and all 3 stations have the same 6 channels
available. Station 1 talks to channel A and the
listening volume of channel A will be dimmed by the
set dim factor on Station 2 + 3 to prevent system
feedback. This will only be the case if the Speakers
are switched on. For information on how to change
the NEAR STATION DIM factor, please see point 4.0
No. 20)
To connect 2 stations as “NEAR STATIONS’, a Near
Station 379 A link cable is needed.
To connect 3 stations you need a Near Station 379 A
and a Near Station 379 B cable.
EXTENDED STATION Mode
Two stations (PS 6379 and/or PS 4379) can be
linked to form one station of 8 – 12 channels. One
unit will be the master unit and will have an active
speaker and microphone. The speaker and
gooseneck microphone of the other unit (slave) will
be switched off. The headsets will continue to work
on both units. Which station will be master is decided
by the link cable. The link cable has a master and a
slave connector and the unit connected to the master
connector will be the master unit.
The TALK to ALL, CALL ALL, BUZZER MUTE ALL
and MIC MUTE ALL buttons will function on both
units. The STAGE ANNOUNCE of the slave unit will
be routed to the Stage Announce output of the
master unit. To also use the microphone and STAGE
ANNOUNCE output of the slave unit, the dip switch
‘Stage Announce mic select’ has to be put into ‘on’
position (see section 8 internal controls / Dip
switches).
To connect 2 stations as “EXTENDED STATION’, an
Extended Station 379 A link cable is needed.
To connect 3 stations you need an Extended Station
379 A and a Extended Station 379 B cable.
