ICM-16/MHI Installation and Operation Manual

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

1) SPLIT HEADPHONES

This is the ability to put the Talkback signal into either, both or none of the
channels and adjust the amount of dimmed monaural air signal.  This is selec-
table by Dipswitch SW25.

2) DND (Do Not Disturb)

This is an important feature to consider.  You can leave DND on or off.  In the
off mode, all other stations may come across the headphones, while the micro-
phone is open.  In some situations, this could be useful for queuing between
production rooms, etc.  In other situations, it could be annoying for instance, if
someone does an “ALL CALL” trying to locate someone.  This kind of dis-
traction most likely would be bothersome to talents that are talking on the air.
In the DND ON mode, the studio is protected from any intercom calls while the
microphone is on.

3) MONO

This feature can be out boarded or used on the front panel so that an operator
can check “STEREO” source material for phasing problems.  The nice thing
about this is that it only affects the local studio’s monitors.

4) AC (ALL CALL)

This feature is exactly how it sounds.  It opens a talk path from the originating
studio to all other studios that you have on the system.  This feature can be use-
ful in emergency situations, but it also can be abused to the point that it disrupts
people.
