signal can interrupt the program audio that feeds into the Remote
Station. Talent and Announcers use Talent Receivers which are
connected to Channel B. The Director and Assistant Director must be
able to interrupt this program audio to cue the Talent and Announcers,
so Channel B would be programmed as follows:
• The Momentary Talk B option switch on the Main and Remote
Stations must be set to the ON (down) position. This will
cause the Channel B Talk button to have a momentary only
action and not latch. Refer to the appropriate User Manuals
for the location of these settings.
• The Call on Talk B option switch on the Main and Remote
Stations must be set to the ON (down) position. This will
cause the Channel B Talk button to activate the Call signal.
• The Channel B On-Off-Interrupt switch on the Remote Station
must be set to the INTERRUPT position. The Channel A
On-Off-Interrupt switch must be set to the OFF position,
assuming that program audio should not be heard on this
channel.
• The Channel B Program Level trimpot on the Remote Station
should be adjusted so that the program feed is at a
comfortable level for the Talent and Announcer.
If desired, the Director could turn on the Party Line Link (A+B) switch
on the Main Station during rehearsals to combine the communication
between everyone on both channels.
The Main or Remote Station speaker can be turned on whenever
necessary, when others in the area need to hear. If it is turned on, it
will automatically dip in level whenever the panel or headset
microphone is on.
A PA amplifier can be connected to the Announce Output of the Main
Station, allowing the Director to make announcements to everyone in
the studio. The Relay Out connection can be used to switch the PA
amplifier if necessary. Depending upon the situation, these
announcements may tend to interfere with communication on the
intercom line. If this is a problem, set the Interrupt Announce Option
Switch on the Main Station to the ON position. This will prevent
announcements from being heard on the intercom line.
Although this application was illustrated using 2-channel Main and
Remote Stations, it could have been implemented using 4-channel (or
more) stations. Doing so could further split the functional areas and
allow more individual conversations to occur at once.
