For example, when the Pan knob for Mic 2 is at the extreme right, all of the sound from that
source is sent to output channel 2. Moving the slider leftward places an increasing amount of
the sound from Mic 2 on output channel 1. When the slider reaches the extreme left position,
the sound from Mic 2 is now entirely sent to output channel 1.
Hint: In their default center position, the two Pan controls have exactly the same effect as clicking
Mono. Actually, this is why a Mono is not needed in this case.
Pan thus provides precise control over where the audio from either Mic input is heard – whether
exclusively on output channel 1, 2, or whether differing levels from either source is sent to both
outputs.
4.4.3 TALK
17. Start the DDR playing the audio tone file again.
18. Enable the Talk switch in Input 1 , but watch the DDR VU meter as you do so.
Talk is an abbreviation of “Talk Over”. Enabling it causes the level for all other audio sources to
drop off by 20dB, allowing Mic 1 and 2 to dominate output. This is very useful for public address
announcements, which is principal purpose.
