IFB
Interruptible Foldback. The term foldback
refers to sending
program audio / feed, or some other audio mix, back to
announcers while they are on the air. Doing so allows
announcers to monitor themselves, other announcers,
videotapes of commercials, or some mix of sources, while they
on the air. This is typically found in television news and live
broadcast events.
Announcers typically wear a small ear piece so they can hear
the selected foldback audio mix. When a director wants to give
directions to an announcer on air, or to announce changes in
the program, the director must interrupt the foldback. To do
this, the director uses a channel specifically set up to interrupt
the foldback audio.
