AIRCOM Manual
Note:
Usually the limiter serves to suppress unattended high level peaks, which often occurs at on-site
broadcast service. In case you use AIRCOM in a studio like environment, it might be more reasonable to
switch off the limiter and leave the whole signal processing to a sound engineer on a mixing desk.
5.2.2.
ON AIR Buttons and Channel A/B Outputs
In basic configuration the ON AIR buttons are not active, when the unit is powered up. In this state they
light up yellow. Push them once to activate, they light up red. Push them again to deactivate.
Activating ON AIR button COMM A resp. COMM B switches the commentator’s microphone signals to the
respective output. The outputs, 3pole XLR connectors, are located on the rear panel, designated OUT A
and OUT B.
5.2.3.
TALK buttons and Intercom Outputs
TALK buttons have a „momentary“ switch action: They are active, as long as you keep them depressed.
In the active state they light up red, in the deactivated state there is no lighting.
When a TALK button is active, ON AIR will be deactivated for the respective Commentator.
You can address four Intercom destinations:
Button 1: COM1 output, XLR 3pole connector on the rear panel designated COM1 OUT
Button 2: COM2 output, XLR 3pole connector on the rear panel designated COM2 OUT
Button 3: COM3 output, XLR 3pole connector on the rear panel designated COM3 OUT
Button CO-COMM: Co-Commentator on the same AIRCOM-Unit.
Note:
As mentioned above, always post limiter signal is used for the Intercom outputs.
