The A-Mon has two talkback inputs; by default the internal talkback input is connected to 
the TMC-1 talkback microphone via the HD15 remote connector. The two inputs have 
individual gain settings that can be adjusted from TMC-1.  

The Talkback is enabled by the TMC-1 user keys [T/B 1] and [T/B 2] (internal) and [T/B 1x] 
and [T/B 2x] (external) which enable talkback microphones. GP Inputs may also be 
assigned via the menu to enable the internal and external talkback. The two Talkback GP 
Outputs may be used to drive relays that switch the talkback output destination. T/B 1 and 
T/B 2 are routed to the 4 cue sends using the TMC-1 cue send enable matrix.

Both talkback inputs are also connected to the rear panel 25 pin ‘D’ connector, if you want 
to replace the TMC-1 microphone with a different microphone connected via the rear 
panel 25 ‘D’ connector you must disconnect the connection to the HD15 connector by 
unplugging the 10 way ribbon cable to the talkback input card. Alternatively if you are not 
using the External microphone input as the producers talkback input you could use the 
External talkback input.
