audio is to be interrupted by communication from the Stage Manager,
then the Channel A On-Off-Interrupt switch should be set to the
INTERRUPT position. If stage microphone audio should be heard on
Channel A at all times, the On-Off-Interrupt switch should be set to the
ON position. If it is not desirable to have audio from the stage
microphones on this intercom channel, the On-Off-Interrupt switch
should be set to the OFF position.
The Program Level control can be used to adjust the stage
microphone audio level the Stage Manager hears. If or whenever the
Stage Manager does not need to monitor this, the Program Level
control can be turned fully counter-clockwise.
Channel B is connected to Speaker Stations such as the Clear-Com
KB-112/KB-212/KB-701 which are installed in the green room and in
dressing rooms. These Speaker stations should be optioned for
Normal operation, which enables the speaker and allows a
push-to-talk function for replying to the Stage Manager. Channel B on
the Main Station would typically be programmed as follows:
• The Momentary Talk B option switch must be set to the ON
position. This will cause the Channel B Talk button to have a
momentary only action and not latch. The Stage Manager
could then only be heard by the actors and actresses in the
Green Room and Dressing Rooms when the Channel B Talk
button is held down.
• The Channel B On-Off-Interrupt switch must be set to the
INTERRUPT position. This causes the Channel B Talk button
to interrupt the audio from the stage microphone.
• The Channel B Program Level trimpot should be adjusted to a
comfortable level in the Speaker Stations.
The stage microphone audio can then be heard by the actors and
actresses in the green room and dressing rooms. The stage
microphone audio heard by the waiting actors and actresses will be
interrupted whenever the Stage Manager talks to them.
Because of the two-channel capability, communication between the
Stage Manager and stage equipment operators cannot be heard by the
actors and actresses, and vice-versa. This eliminates confusion and
miscommunication. If desired, the Stage Manager can turn on the
Party Line Link (A+B) switch on the Main Station during rehearsals to
combine the communication between everyone on both channels.
