MODEL 207

eSPORTS CONSOLE

As such, it will always light green, no matter 

if the button is pressed or not.
The talkback function allows the microphone 

audio signal to be routed to the Dante talk-

back output channel. When the talkback 

function is active the button’s green LED  

will be lit. When the talkback function is 

not active its button will not be lit. How the 

talkback button specifically functions and 

whether it impacts the main button’s func-

tioning depends on the Model 207’s system 

configuration.

Main Button Modes

There are six ways that the main pushbut-

ton switch can function. The way in which it 

specifically operates depends on its selected 

configuration.

Push to Mute

If this mode is selected the audio signal 

associated with the microphone input will 

normally be active on the Dante main output 

channel. The audio signal will mute when- 

ever the main pushbutton is pressed and 

held.

Push to Talk

If this mode is selected the audio signal  

associated with the Dante main output chan-

nel will normally be muted. The audio signal 

will become active whenever the main push-

button is pressed and held.

Latching

If this mode is selected the audio signal as-

sociated with the Dante main output chan-

nel will alternate between the active and 

muted states whenever the main pushbutton 

is pressed. Upon Model 207 power up the 

audio signal will be in its muted state.

Push to Talk/Tap to Latch

This mode is a combination of the Push to 

Talk and Latching actions. It’s similar to the 

way in which talk pushbuttons function on 

user stations associated with broadcast or 

production intercom systems. If the main 

pushbutton is pressed and held the audio 

signal associated with the Dante main output 

channel will become active and remain active 

until the pushbutton is released. If the main 

pushbutton is momentarily “tapped” the audio 

signal will change state. Upon Model 207 

power up the audio signal will be in its muted 

state.

Push to Mute/Tap to Latch

This mode is a combination of the Push to 

Mute and Latching modes. Whenever the 

main button is momentarily “tapped” its status 

will alternate between active and muted. 

When the main button’s function is active 

and the main button is pressed and held the 

audio signal on the Dante main output chan-

nel will mute. It will stay in this condition until 

the main button is released. Upon Model 207 

power up the main button will be in its muted 

state and its red LED will be lit.

Always On

In this state microphone audio will always be 

sent out the Dante main output channel. The 

main button’s green LED will always stay lit to 

indicate that the main output is active. Press-

ing the main button will not cause any action 

to take place.

Talkback Button Modes

Depending on the selected configuration,  

the talkback pushbutton will function in one  

of four possible modes:

Push to Talk

If this mode is selected the audio signal asso-

ciated with the Dante talkback output chan-

nel is normally muted and neither LED in the 

talkback button will light. The audio signal will 

become active whenever the talkback push-

button is pressed and held. When talkback is 

active the button’s green LED will be lit.
