method eliminates the need to select a mix minus input source every
time you want to talk off-air to the caller. An easy source choice
here would be DJ mic module’s INSERT OUT port.
Automatic Features
Regular mic and stereo line input modules can have their output
assign buttons slave off of the SPD-8 telephone module output
buttons. If this feature has been programmed on desired source
modules, when it’s time to go on-air with a phone segment all you
need do is hit PGM on the phone module, and the PGM button on,
say, your CD input module (and the DJ’s mic module) will follow
suit.
Note while this feature will turn slaved assign buttons ON, it will
not turn them OFF; you must do this manually.
Faders can be optionally equipped with end-of-travel CUE
switches, which will allow you to talk off-air with a caller with a
simple fader overpress. One of the faders can also have an optional
EFS type switch to automatically turn the module on when it is run
up.
The channel ON (red) and OFF (orange) switches are at the
bottom of the module. These can be programmed (via internal
PCB-mounted dipswitches) to activate control room and studio
mutes, tallies, timer restart and automatic cue drop-out. The ON
switch can also automatically trigger an external tape machine for
recording purposes (see page 10-7).
Cue Dropout can also be programmed internally, making it
unnecessary to de-activate caller setup buttons before going live;
simply pressing the module’s ON switch will automatically do this
for you.
Inputs and Outputs
All audio and control signal hook-ups are made via two multi-
pin DB-25 connectors mounted in the bottom of the console’s
mainframe, directly underneath each module. The upper connector
handles hybrid input signals (i.e., caller input) and the external
input mentioned on page 10-2. The lower connector handles
outputs, including the module1 and 2 feeds to your station hybrid
(the phone signals going to your callers).
The module also has three addition output feeds on the lower
DB-25 connector. These are generally used for recording purposes:
Composite Out – This includes everything: DJ, callers, music
beds, etc. Generally used to to record phone segments in
advance of actual airplay.
Composite Minus Callers – This includes everything but the
callers.
Callers Only – No talent, no DJs, no music; just caller voices.
