CMC3
- Monitor Controller
6
Note that the left and right Cut do have an influence on both the speaker outputs
and the headphones.
When activating
Left or Right Cut whilst using headphones the signal is not 100%
panned one way or the other - i.e. the signal centre moves to the side but is not
completely removed from the opposite ear of the headphone - this is so that the
Left/Right Cut sounds a little more natural, after all, if listening through speakers
with only the left speaker active some of the signal well reach the right ear a few
milliseconds later.
HEADPHONE
The CMC3 has two dedicated headphone amplifiers with outputs, via 1/4” TRS
jacks, on the front face
(6b) and level control (6a) on the front face - Note that the
level control is not affected by the main large monitor volume knob (2) , and have no
bearing on volume of the rear panel outputs (10) .
Warning:
It is advisable to unplug the headphones before switching the CMC3 on or off.
It is also recommended that you turn the headphone level down before inserting
the jack, and turn it up to your desired listening level - these measures will not
only prevent your ears from being damaged but also the headphone’s drivers.
Also, note that these are high quality circuits and have been designed for
professional headphones, so care must be taken when using lower standard,
consumer quality headphones as damage could occur.
TALKBACK
The MC3.1 has a dedicated talkback function including inbuilt microphone, external
microphone port and gain level control.
External Mic Switch : When active disengages the inbuilt front panel microphone
and routes the operator’s voice through an external microphone (not supplied),
which is plugged into the rear panel
(11) .
Talkback Active Switch : When active engages either the inbuilt or external
microphone and routes the operator’s voice through the headphones and also to
the talkback output on the rear of the unit
(11) . The switch is non-latching and so
must be held in to be active.
Talkback Level. The knob adjusts the gain level of the talkback microphone. It can
be adjusted to compensate for the distance that the operator is from the microphone,
how loud his voice is, or the volume of the underlying music played, as well as
several other factors.
TalkBack Microphone . An electret condenser microphone as been incorporated
into the CMC3 and is located below the Volume controls in the bottom centre of the
front panel.
Activating the Talkback automatically engages the Dim switch (i.e. attenuates the
volume by 20dB) for the headphones
(6) and also the speaker outputs (10) making
it possible for the artist to clearly hear the instruction.
As well as the headphones the talkback signal is also routed to the direct talkback
output jack on the rear of the unit
(11) to be routed at the engineers discretion.
