With the built-in microphone and headphones
connected to the PHONES jack, you can use this unit to
communicate with remote crew. To communicate with
people using other devices, connect this unit’s LINE OUT
2/TALKBACK connectors to the inputs on devices that
you want to communicate through, and connect those
devices’ outputs to this unit’s RETURN IN 1 and RETURN
IN 2 connectors.
Communicating with the built-in
microphone (TALKBACK)
The signal from the built-in microphone can be output
through the LINE OUT 2/TALKBACK connectors.
1 Set the TO LINE OUT 2 switch to ON.
2 Speak in the direction of the built-in microphone
while pressing the TALKBACK key.
3 Sound input through this unit’s built-in microphone
is output to the devices connected to the LINE OUT
2/TALKBACK connectors.
Listening to RETURN IN signals
Sound output from devices connected to the RETURN IN
1 and RETURN IN 2 connectors is mixed with the input
signal from the PHONES IN jack. This allows you to listen
to communication from other devices while monitoring
the recording signal.
The signals input through the RETURN IN 1 and RETURN
IN 2 connectors are adjusted separately using the
RETURN IN 1 and RETURN IN 2 knobs, respectively. Each
also has a SOLO key that reduces the signal input through
the PHONES IN jack by -20 dB when ON before mixing
its signal with the signals input through the RETURN IN
connectors in the analog domain.

Setting the headphones output
(PHONES)
The signals input through RETURN IN 1 and RETURN IN
2 connectors are mixed in the analog domain with the
signal input through the PHONES IN jack and then the
mix is output through the PHONES jack. Use the PHONES
knob to adjust the volume.
Use the L MONO and R MONO keys to select the mono
signal of the left or right channel. When both L MONO
and R MONO keys are ON, the left and right channel
signals are mixed and output as a single mono signal.
