OPERATION
LOGIC PORTS
The console has several LOGIC PORTS which can be used to control local
machines, such as cart machines, CD players, etc., or with talent panels for mic
signals. The installer will have set up the logic ports to work with particular
inputs. When an input is selected for a fader, that fader’s functions will interact
with the assigned port as described below.
Mic Port Functions
The mic port logic functions are ON, OFF, COUGH, TALKBACK, and
ON TALLY. These are normally used in connection with a user-provided
talent panel containing switches to be operated by a mic user, often located in
the Studio.
ON Logic Input
The ON LOGIC INPUT is used to connect an external user-supplied
button to activate the microphone’s fader, just as if the fader’s ON BUTTON
had been pressed.
OFF Logic Input
The OFF LOGIC INPUT is used to connect an external user-supplied
button to deactivate the microphone’s fader, just as if the fader’s OFF
BUTTON had been pressed.
Cough Logic Input
The COUGH LOGIC INPUT is used to connect an external user-supplied
button to activate the microphone fader’s COUGH LOGIC. This acts like a
temporary, or momentary, OFF button, in that, if the microphone is active, it
will be made inactive while the external COUGH button is being held down,
and will again activate when the COUGH button is released. If the micro-
phone is currently inactive, the button has no effect.
Talkback to CUE (TBQ) Logic Input
The TBQ LOGIC INPUT is used to connect an external user-supplied
button that enables the person activating it to talk to the operator in the Control
Room, via the console’s cue speaker. It is important to realize that, if cue is
muted for any reason, the talent voice will not be heard in the cue speaker.
ON Tally Logic Output
The ON TALLY LOGIC OUTPUT can be used to give a remote indication
of the ON status of the fader.
