Talkback
2.6.1
The talkback function of the EURODESK allows you to commu-
nicate with the musicians in the recording room or on the stage.
The talkback signal is present at the AUX SEND outputs, which
are particularly useful for monitor/headphone mixes.
Talkback section
Fig. 2.17:
(41)
The
LEVEL
control determines the volume of the talkback
signal at the AUX 1/2 outputs.
(42)
Use the
TALK TO AUX 1/2
switch to activate the built-in talk-
back microphone. Its signal is sent to the AUX SEND jacks
1 and 2. Keep the switch pressed while you’re speaking.
(43)
This is the built-in talkback microphone.
Phones & control room
2.6.2
Phones/control room section
Fig. 2.18:
(44)
The
PHONES/CTRL R
control adjusts the volume of the
headphones connected to the PHONES/CTRL ROOM OUT
jack (see
(46)
). If you have an active monitor speaker or
power amp connected here, you can also control the monitor
volume.
(45)
These switches select the signal sent to the PHONES/CTRL
ROOM jack. Available sources are: MAIN, CD/TAPE, AUX
1/2 and subgroups 1 - 2 and 3 - 4.
Phones/control room output

(46)
Connect your headphones or monitor speaker to the
PHONES/CTRL ROOM OUT
1/4" TRS connector.
IMPORTANT! High volume levels may damage your
+
hearing and/or your headphones/loudspeakers. To
avoid switch-on/off thumps from the console and any
downstream devices, always make sure that the power
amp(s) or active speaker(s) are the last components that
are switched on and the first to be switched off. Always
make sure that the appropriate volume is set.
CD/tape
2.7
CD/tape
Fig. 2.20:
(47)
TO MAIN
controls the volume of, for example, a CD player
connected to the CD/tape input connectors (see
(49)
).
(48)
When the
STANDBY
switch is pressed, all input channels
are muted. Only the CD/tape signal will be routed to the
main mix. In this way, you can prevent the microphones from
pickung up unwanted sounds or noise that would interfere
with CD playback during a break. The main mix and chan-
nel faders can remain in their normal positions while playing
back music from CD (using the CD/TAPE INPUTs
(49)
), so
you don’t lose your mix.
CD/tape connectors
Fig. 2.21:
(49)
The
CD/TAPE INPUT
RCA connectors are for the connection
of CD players, tape decks or other line-level sources. The
signal volume is adjusted with the TO MAIN control.
(50)
The
CD/TAPE OUTPUT
RCA connectors provide the stereo
main mix signal to a tape deck or DAT recorder to record
your mix. The signal is taken pre-fader, so that it will not be
influenced by the fader positions.
Master aux send 1 and 2
2.8
Master aux sends
Fig. 2.22:
(51)
These are the master
AUX SEND
controls
1
and
2
for ad-
justing the volume level sent to the corresponding aux send
connectors (see
(52)
). This way, you can control the mix of
all AUX 1 or AUX 2 signals of the input channels. The AUX
SEND section also has a SOLO switch.
Master aux send outputs
Fig. 2.23:
(52)
Use the
AUX SEND
outputs
1
and
2
to take the masterAUX
SEND signals and route them to an external effects device
or your monitor speakers. Subsequently, you can return the
effect signal, e.g. via the STEREO FX RETURN inputs (see
(67)
) or specific input channels.
