Talkback To Monitor
When this button is lit, the talkback mic is routed to the main monitor outputs. Click the
button to toggle the Talkback to Monitor state.
If the monitor speaker system is on when this button is engaged, acoustic feedback from
the speakers to the talkback mic can occur.
Caution: To reduce the risk of acoustic feedback, lower the volume of the monitor
output speakers and/or increase the DIM value before engaging Talkback To
Monitor.
In typical studio control room + recording room setups, this function is generally not
used because the monitor output speakers are in the same room as the talkback mic.
However, the option is provided for maximum signal routing flexibility.
MIX Send
This fader adjusts the talkback level sent to all cue buses that have MIX assigned as
the cue’s SOURCE in the CUE OUTPUTS popover. It performs the same function as the
Talkback to Mix Fader in the talkback input strip.
Tip: The MIX send fader adjusts talkback levels to all gray cue buses (if a CUE
color is gray, that cue’s SOURCE is set to MIX in the CUE OUTPUTS popover).
CUE Sends
These faders adjust the talkback level sent to cue buses that do not have MIX assigned
as the cue’s SOURCE in the CUE OUTPUTS popover.
If a cue’s SOURCE is not set to MIX in the CUE OUTPUTS popover (e.g., when the cue
source HP or LINE 3-4), this fader has no affect on the talkback level for that cue mix.
Note: If the Cue Color for the bus is gray, the cue’s source is set to MIX and this
fader will have no affect. In this case, use the MIX send instead.
Send Meters
These meters display the talkback level being sent to each cue bus when the TALK
button is engaged.
MIX Bus Meter – By default, pre-fader levels are displayed. Post-fader levels can be
displayed by switching the METERING setting in the Display panel within the Console
Settings window.
CUE Bus Meters – Post-fader levels are always displayed.
