MODEL 207
eSPORTS CONSOLE
Headphone Output – Sidetone Mode
Choices are Main Active , Talkback Active ,
and
Main or Talkback Active
.
This configuration parameter specifies when
the sidetone function will be active. Sidetone
is audio associated with the output of the
microphone preamplifier and compressor that
is sent to the headphone output channels.
This can be important, allowing the user to
“hear” themselves for performance confirma-
tion and comfort. Three sidetone modes are
available:
Main Active
In this mode the sidetone function will be
active whenever the main output function
is active and microphone input audio is
present on the Dante main output channel.
Talkback Active
In this mode the sidetone function will be
active whenever the talkback function is ac-
tive and microphone input audio is present
on the Dante talkback output channel.
Main or Talkback Active
In this mode the sidetone function will be
active whenever the main or talkback func-
tions are active. In this case audio signal
associated with the microphone input will
be present on either or both the Dante main
and talkback output channels.
Headphone Output – Fixed Sidetone Level
Choices are
Off
,
Low
,
Medium Low
,
Medium
,
Medium High
, and
High
.
When sidetone has not been assigned to one
of the rotary controls the fixed sidetone func-
tion is active. The user will be presented with
sidetone audio at a fixed audio level estab-
lished by this parameter. Making a specific
selection will depend on the needs of the
application. If a “full mix” is being provided
to one of the Model 207’s Dante inputs then
locally provided sidetone won’t be needed
and the Off configuration should be selected.
(The user will hear themselves by way of
audio signals being routed to the Dante
input channels.) But if “mix-minus” audio
is being supplied to the Model 207 then se-
lecting a suitable fixed sidetone level can be
an important means of establishing user
confidence.
Button Operation – Main
Choices are
Push to Mute
,
Push to Talk
,
Latching
,
Push to Talk/Tap to Latch
,
Push
to Mute/Tap to Latch , and Always On .
STcontroller allows the configuration of the
main button to be selected.
Push to Mute
If this mode is selected the main button func-
tion will normally be active and its green LED
lit. The microphone audio signal associated
with the connected headset will be routed to
the Dante main output channel. Whenever
the main button is pressed the audio signal
will mute on the Dante main output channel
and the button’s LED will change from green
to red.
Push to Talk
If this mode is selected the main button
function will normally be inactive and the
button’s red LED will be lit. The microphone
audio signal associated with the connected
headset will not be routed to the Dante main
output channel. Whenever the main but-
ton is pressed the audio signal will become
active on the Dante output channel and the
button’s green LED will light.
Latching
If this mode is selected the main button’s
function will alternate between its active and
inactive states whenever the main button is
pressed. Upon power up the function will be
in its inactive state and the red LED associ-
ated with the button will be lit.
