1 9
dynamic headphones that are each 32 ohms or higher.)
Tip:
,
Always start with the level control completely counter clockwise (minimum). The headphone amplifiers are very powerful
and there is no solution for destroyed hearing, even from the brain trust at Dangerous Music.
22. TALKBACK MIC & LEVEL CONTROL KNOB (HARDWARE)
Feature: Communicate with the talent via the built-in
talkback
mic
directly into their headphones.
Benefit: Avoid figuring out a separate means of communication for the artist (i.e. sign language, megaphones, rock tossing, tea
leaves or hot yoga). Keep it quick, easy, and simple, thus encouraging the ultimate performance.
Operation: Hit the
talkback
engage
switch. Starting at the minimum, gently increase the volume utilizing the
level
knob until the sweet
spot is achieved. More magic revealed about this switch in the next segment. (Hint:
momentoggle
.)
Note:
When engaging the
talkback
switch, dim is automatically engaged; generally used to keep from blasting the control room
speakers into your
talkback
feed and looking like a tubhead in front of your clients. If you’re smart enough to know why
you should override this jump to
setup
mode
section for details.
Tip:
,
Always start with the level control completely counter-clockwise (minimum). You don’t want to be the cause of someone’s
hearing or inspiration loss.
Tip:
,
To create an isolated talkback output, choose one of the headphone outputs (front or rear) and assign nothing to it (i.e. No
bluetooth
,
usb
,
analog
,
summing
or
aes
/
spdif
). Set
talkback
level and
headphone
level to taste. (Pretty fly!)
“Our goal was to beat the original D-BOX in both
sound quality and features, while riding the leading
edge of the computer-based recording studio. Oh, and
keeping it all 1 RU. It took a while, but I think we
nailed it.”
