Telephone / AUX Channel (Channel 9) |

6 - Pre Fade & TB:
The button allows you to select the Pre-Fade mode for
the channel. The Pre-Fade mode allows you to listen to the channel without
it actually being sent to the PGM or REC outputs (see above), which is
essential if you want to check something prior to it going ‘on-air). To use
this feature, first pull the fader right down (otherwise it will be broadcast
anyway), then press the Pre-Fade button. You will now be able to hear
anything playing through your headphones (providing the Auto-Prefade
option in the monitor section is set – see Monitor Section) but it will not be
heard ‘on-air’.
When the fader is switched to Tel mode, the Pre-Fade option also enables
Talk Back (TB) to the caller on the telephone. This special feature allows you
to talk to your caller using Microphone Channel 1 without having to open
the Microphone 1 fader.
So once you have a caller, you can use the Pre-Fade & TB button to listen to
them and talk to them prior to opening their fader and putting them on air.
Caution:
Remember when you push this button, they can hear you also
through the main presenter mic so be careful what you say!
7 - Fader:
The Fader is a linear volume control for the channel. By moving
the fader up or down, you will alter the volume of the audio source the
channel is connected to.
8 - Line Hold:
This button is only operational when in TEL mode and it is
used to connect and disconnect the telephone line via the mixing desk.
Think of this as pickup or putting down the receiver in a traditional phone.
Please note that the button will flash when a phone call is received and will
illuminate when the desk is connected to the call. See section on Telephone
Interface for more detailed operation.
