Source-Specific Channel Controls

Some fader functions change their behavior to suit 

the type of source assigned to the fader. A Guest Mic in-

put has unique functions different from those of a Codec 

input, and so forth. In this section we’ll explain the chan-

nel functions unique to each type of source input.

control room Operator Mic channel

The Control Room Operator microphone is the board 

operator’s mic. It’s always located in the Control Room, 

so activating a channel designated as the CR Operator 

mic  affects  CR  Monitor  speaker  and  Preview  speaker 

muting.

When the board operator pushes a 

Talkback 

key, all 

output  bus  assignments  for  the  Control  Room  Opera-

tor microphone are temporarily muted, while his mic’s 

audio is routed to the requested 

Talkback 

destination. 

Releasing the key returns the channel outputs to normal.  

Pressing the soft key for the CR Operator Mic while 

the  channel  is  already  on  will  mute  the  channel  until 

the key is released, acting as a “

cough

” function for the 

board operator. On-air status and speaker mutes are un-

affected by this action. The CR Operator microphone 

channel will mute the CR Monitors (Monitor 1) and the 

Preview speakers whenever the channel is 

On, 

or if 

Pre-

view 

keys are selected.  

control room guest Microphone channel

There are often microphones in the Control Room 

other than the board operator’s; i.e., an in-studio guest or 

perhaps an announcer located physically near the board 

op. These microphones also control the muting of the 

Control Room monitor speakers.  

Control Room Guest Microphone channels will mute 

the  Control  Room  speakers  and  the  Preview  speakers 

whenever the channel is 

ON, 

or if 

Preview 

key is se-

lected.  

line channel

Line-level devices like CD players, tape players, etc., 

use the Line Channel profile.  The Line Channel is ste-

reo, but the user can change the input mode to mono, left 

only or right only by using the 

Pan & Mode Options 

section.

 Line channels have a variety of remote logic func-

tions available at the GPIO interface. 

ON 

and 

OFF 

states 

can be remotely controlled, as well as the 

Preview 

key.  

Each function has a corresponding lamp driver. 

Phone channel

The Phone Channel profile is used, naturally, for tele-

phone hybrid audio sources. Each Phone Channel has its 

own discrete Feed-to-Source mix-minus output.

Each  RAQ/DESQ  can  accommodate  six  automat-

ically-generated mix-minus feeds (one per channel). If 

the  Feed-to-Source  mode  is  set  to  “Auto”,  (the  most 

common option - see 

Chapter 2: Inputs and Outputs

 

for the section entitled “Source Profile Options”), phone 

callers  hear  the  output  of  the 

Program-1

  bus,  minus 

himself, when the channels they’re assigned to are 

ON

When the caller’s channel is 

OFF

, callers hear the out-

put of Phone bus (Pre-fader, pre-ON/OFF of channels 

assigned to PGM-2).

Phone feed-to-source outputs can also be locked to 

backfeed only 

PGM-1

PGM-2

 using the options provid-

ed when constructing the Source Profile for your hybrid.
