NOTE: If the Control Room is muted and you turn the level control all the
way up, then remove the condition that has the Control Room muted, the
sound in the Control Room speakers will suddenly be VERY LOUD!
CUE Level Control
The CUE LEVEL CONTROL determines the overall loudness of the cue
signal as it appears in the console’s cue speaker (located behind the grill in
the METER BRIDGE).
Like the Control Room speakers, the cue speaker also has the potential for
feedback. To avoid this situation, operator mics that mute the Control Room
will also mute the cue speaker.
NOTE: If cue is muted and you turn the level control all the way up, then
remove the condition that has the cue muted, the sound in the cue speaker
will suddenly be VERY LOUD!
Headphone Level Control
The HEADPHONE LEVEL CONTROL determines the overall loudness
of the headphone output signal.
The headphone output signal appears at the HEADPHONE JACK on the
side of the console. The jack is provided as a place to plug in user-supplied
stereo headphones having an impedance of 60
Ω
(ohms) or higher.
CUE Interrupt
The installer may have set up the system so that, whenever cue is
activated, the cue audio will replace the normal audio in the Control Room
speakers. The installer may also have set up the system so that, whenever cue
is activated, the cue audio will replace the normal audio in the headphones.
It may be that both interrupts have been set up. In the case of a cue interrupt,
if there is no audio on the cue bus (for example, a channel with a currently
quiet source is placed in cue) then it seem as if the interrupted speakers or
headphones have stopped working. If you suddenly lose audio in the
headphones or Control Room speakers, check to make sure you don’t have
a quiet channel in cue.
Studio Monitor
In many applications, in addition to the Control Room, there is a Studio
in which one or more performers will be assembled, usually with micro-
phones so that their voices can become part of the mix. Speakers may be
provided in the Studio to allow the talent to listen to the various console bus
outputs at times that they are not actually on air. These speakers are fed from
the console’s stereo Studio output. The STUDIO MONITOR consists of an
ST SELECT BUTTON, an ST DISPLAY, an ST LEVEL CONTROL, and
TALKBACK BUTTON.
