5 TALKBACK
The Studer OnAir 500 offers two different modes of talkback operation, pro-
viding solutions for both self-op and non-self-op applications.
The information provided below is used in conjunction with the
Talkback
Assign menu (see chapter 4.27) and the TalkBack Swap function found
in the System menu (see chapter 4.26).
General Studio Layout: For this explanation we will assume that the room housing the console is
known as the
control room (CR), and the area on the other side of the glass is
known as the studio .
It is quite possible for guests, performers or indeed the presenter (DJ) to be
located in either the control room or the studio.
The default settings of the OnAir 500 assume that the presenter is operating
the console from the control room (this is commonly known as
self-op ).
However, at the request of broadcasters who operate with the presenter in a
room different from the console (usually the studio), the OnAir 500 provides
the
TalkBack Swap feature.
Below, we have outlined how you should operate the console in each sce-
nario.
5.1 Scenario 1 - Presenter in Control Room (Talkback Swap Off)
The presenter is operating the console and will use his on-air microphone to
talk to his guests as well (talkback). This is very convenient and means that
there is no need for a separate talkback microphone.
The way this works is that the same channel that the presenter’s microphone
is connected to must also be set-up as the talkback channel.
1 The presenter can then talk to the studio and/or guest headphones whenever
all three of the following conditions are met:
• The
TALK button is on (either momentary or latched)
• The fader on the talkback channel is fully closed
• The talkback destination is enabled ( STUDIO and/or GUEST button se-
lected).
2
The presenter can then talk to any of the cleanfeed outputs whenever all
three of the following conditions are met:
• The
TALK button is on (either momentary or latched)
• The fader on the talkback channel is fully closed
• The
CUE
button is on for those cleanfeed outputs to which you want to
speak (either momentary or latched).
3 Someone wanting to talk to the presenter can use the REV TB1 (reverse
talkback) input.
They must have access to a switch physically connected to the relevant con-
nection on the
REMOTES 1 connector. There are four such switches. The rel-
evant switch must be set, via the Remote Inputs menu page, to Enable
RevTB (see chapter 4.24). Then, for as long as the switch is pressed, the
program feed to the presenter’s headphones will be dimmed, and they will be
able to talk to the presenter through his headphones.
