Talkback
Pressing the large, easy-to-reach Talkback switch dims cue output by 20dB while activating the
talkback microphone. The flexibility of the system even allows both monitor paths to be
configured as cue feeds with independent talkback level and the Alt Monitor output handling
studio loudspeakers. Plus the Talkback switch and twin talkback logic inputs can be individually
setup to route talkback just where you want it.
Integration with MultiMAX EX
MultiMAX EX adds the critical monitoring features necessary to handle surround projects in music
production, post production, and broadcast environments. MonitorMAX further enhances the
power of MultiMAX by providing additional stereo monitor inputs and extra stereo monitor paths to
surround production systems. With MultiMAX’s Downmix output connected as an input source
and MonitorMAX’s talkback sense controlling MultiMAX’s external dim logic, MonitorMAX readily
outputs your surround mix as stereo cue feeds with talkback for the talent or stereo monitoring in
other production rooms, making for a very tightly integrated system.
MonitorMax Setup
When unpacking MonitorMax and the Remote Controller, be sure to check for the following items.
1. AC power cable
2. 25ft. SB-9 pin remote controller cable
3. MonitorMax Manual
4. Warranty Card
5. Small bag with 4-40 Jack Screws (to replace installed metric Jack Screws if needed)
Before inserting the AC power cable into the back panel socket, be sure to check that the correct
voltage (120V 60Hz or 230V 50Hz) is marked for the installation location.
All of the audio inputs and outputs (except Talkback Mic and inputs 9 & 10) are available via DB-
25 connectors formatted to the Tascam analog standard, and are found on the MonitorMax back
panel. This makes for an easy and secure connection to custom installed wiring or off-the-shelf
patchbays. RCA jacks are provided for unbalanced inputs 9 & 10, and an XLR input for the
Talkback mic. DB-9 connectors are used for both the Remote Controller and the Logic I/O port.
