Example
2:
Using
a
Utility
Mixer
The
simplest
form
of
mix
‐
minus
using
a
Utility
Mixer
with
mono
inputs.
Two
mono
faders
and
two
busses,
AUX
1
and
AUX
2
are
used.
It
is
also
possible
to
use
the
mixer's
main
outputs
to
form
a
mix
‐
minus,
by
Panning
one
Input
channel
"hard
left"
and
the
other
input"
hard
right".
Phones and Remotes
To
save
money
and
hassle,
callers
are
usually
received
at
the
studio,
rather
than
at
the
remote
site.
In
this
situation,
phones
need
to
be
fed
to
the
remote
talent,
so
that
they
can
hear
and
respond
to
callers.
Moreover,
the
phone
callers
need
to
hear
the
talent.
In
many
cases,
the
remotes
are
sufficiently
distant
that
the
station
cannot
be
monitored
for
the
caller
feed.
Even
if
it
could,
the
profanity
delay
would
be
a
problem,
since
the
talent
needs
to
hear
the
phone
pre
‐
delay.
The
talent
hears
callers
via
the
return
path.
As
before,
this
return
is
fed
with
mix
‐
minus:
a
mix
of
everything
on
the
program
bus
minus
the
remote
audio.
As
for
the
second
half
of
the
equation,
the
callers
hear
the
talent
because
the
remote
feed
is
added
to
the
telephone
mix
‐
minus
buss.
No
problem
if
you
have
a
set
‐
up
that
permits
selective
assignment
to
the
phone
mix
‐
minus.
The
most
common
problem
with
this
arrangement
is
a
result
of
a
phone
hybrid
with
too
much
leakage
combined
with
the
system
delay.
If
the
hybrid
isn't
doing
a
good
job
of
preventing
the
send
audio
from
leaking
to
its
output,
the
special
remote
send
mix
‐
minus
is
corrupted.
