AUX (TALK): Routes the output of the Talkback Mic preamp to Auxiliary Masters Useful for talking to

headphone cues sends

•

The T/B button must be engaged on the Aux Master for Talkback to be passed to its output

•

Can be activated from the T/B ALL button

•

Illuminates while pressed

AUX (level): Sets the level of the Talkback output to the Auxiliary Masters

T/B ALL (Talkback All): Activates the Talkback to all destinations.

Talkback Patch Points

T/B IN (Talkback Input MAIN and REV): Inputs for external sources routed to Talkback

•

MAIN: Line input an external mono source

The EXT TBK button must be engaged for the external source to be routed

to the Talkback outputs when Talkback is activated

•

REV (Reverse Talkback): Input for the reverse talkback mic

Oscillator

A sine wave Oscillator is provided to generate test tones for calibration and trouble-

shooting. The Oscillator output is routed to a pair of patch points when the

Oscillator is ON. The output can be routed to the Program and Multitrack Buses by

engaging the BUS button.

Oscillator Controls

ON: On/off switch for the Oscillator output

•

The oscillator signal will be present at the OSC OUT patch points

•

Activates the Control Room DIM function.

•

Illuminates when engaged

BUS: Routes the Oscillator to Program and Multitrack Bus Master outputs

•

Illuminates when engaged

LEVEL: Sets the Oscillator output level

Frequency Selector: Selects the Oscillator frequency

•

20Hz, 50Hz, 400Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 5kHz, 15kHz

CAUTION: Exercise great care when activating and routing the Oscillator. Control Room

monitors should be dimmed, cut, or turned down to a low level. Cue systems

and studio loudspeakers should be CUT.

Oscillator Patch Points

OSC OUT (Oscillator Output): Output of the console sine-wave generator

•

Signal is present when the Oscillator ON button is engaged

•

The same signal is present at both points
