OPERATION
Cue Button
Press the CUE BUTTON. The callers will be included in the cue output at
a level that follows the FADER setting for that caller (unlike cue assign on a
normal input fader, which is pre-fade), and the button will light. The phone
does not need to be turned ON. If the phone is in cue, the assignment to cue
will be automatically canceled when the ON BUTTON is pressed. To remove
the phones from cue, press the CUE BUTTON again; the light will go off to
indicate the phone is no longer assigned to cue. The operator microphone(s)
may be set up to allow the console operator to talk to the callers while the phone
is in cue via the talkback bus. When the phone is no longer in cue the callers
will once again hear the caller feed (on air or off air, depending on the ON
status of the phone).
Display
The four character DISPLAY shows the caller feed source. As the phone
is turned ON or OFF, the display will change to show the on air feed or the off
air feed, as appropriate. The display can also be made to show the current
status of the combined caller voice signal with regard to its presence in the
caller feed or mix-minus outputs.
Faders
If a fader is all the way down that caller’s voice will not be present in any
of the four main buses (PGM, AUD, MONO1, and MONO2, to which the
phone is assigned. As the fader is moved up the signal will appear more
strongly in all of the main buses to which the phone is assigned.
The fader position will also affect the strength of the caller in the cue
output.
The fader position also affects the strength of each caller in the other
caller’s caller feed. Whether or not the fader positions affect the strength of the
callers in the two general purpose mix-minus buses to which the phone is
assigned depends on the mix-minus status of the phone section for those two
buses.
On and Off Buttons
The ON and OFF BUTTONS determine if the phone is ON or OFF. The
lighted buttons show that status.
If the phone is OFF, caller signal will not be present in any main bus output,
regardless of the status of the BUS ASSIGN BUTTONS or the position of the
FADER. If the phone is OFF its signal will still be present in the cue output
if it has been assigned to cue, and also in the other caller’s caller feed. Presence
of the signal in the mix-minus buses depends on the phone mix-minus status.
If the phone is assigned to CUE, pressing the ON button will unassign the
phone from CUE. The same will happen if the phone’s remote ON button is
pressed (if the phone is mapped to a logic port).
The installer may have set up the phone ON button to restart the timer when
pressed.
