2.4.5 CUE output
This output present the audio signal of HOLD lines, in order to the
journalist can notice to the operator when needed airing. This is the
case of a sports transmission in which a reporter covering a
secondary match, wants to report that there was a goal in that
game. If the operator has that line Hold, the reporter has no way of
giving notice, as the hybrid is in the air with the main relate, so
communication can not be established by the Talkback circuit.
To resolve this situation HL-202/203 has a "MONITOR" output,
which present audio from all HOLD lines. Thus the operator is
continually listening the Hold lines.
The output "MONITOR" uses a 1/8” jack to connect to a small
powered speaker, such as those used in computers, or an external
monitoring input on the console (External (Audicom) CUE in
Solidyne consoles).
In addition to the audio of the lines in Hold, is normal to
hear an audio remnant of on-air lines.
When HL202 units are connected in cascade, CUE outputs
remains independent. Each unit presents its CUE audio
output, correspondent to lines connected to that hybrid. If
you have only one monitor speaker for all lines, you can
connect CUE outputs in parallel.

Expand the number of lines
The connector HYBRID LINK allows to link up to three HL202/203
units to expand the number of lines. The options are:
2 x HL202
4 lines
3 x HL202
6 lines
H HL202
5 lines (one Bluetooth) with VQR audio
processing.
H 2 HL202
7 lines (one Bluetooth) with VQR audio
processing.
Figure 4
(next page) shows the connection cable for two and three
units, using male
DB-9
at both ends.
Figure 5
(page19) shows the connection of
2 HL-202
units. Audio
connections can be made over any unit. Both units presents
simultaneously the audio signal at XLR connector; and both
receives audio frem console, no matter to witch unit the signal
