Announce button on the Main Station to communicate with the people
in these rooms. When this happens, the audio from the stage is
interrupted automatically. As long as the Stage Manager does not
have a Talk set, the announcement is heard only by the people in the
Green Room, Hallways, and Dressing Rooms, but not by the people
on intercom Channels A or B.
To adjust the stage announce and program levels, use the following
steps:
1. Press the Announce button and adjust the program audio power
amplifier for the correct level from the speakers connected to it.
The Stage Announce output will provide a 0 dBu signal to the
stage announce amplifier.
2. With the Announce button released, adjust the Mixing Console
so that the Program level is correct as heard through the
speakers connected to the stage announce amplifier. The
output from the Mixing Console will likely be 0 dBu or less.
3. If the Program Audio is to be heard on the intercom channels,
adjust the Program Level controls for the channels accordingly.
Refer to the MS-232, MS-702, MS-440, RM-440,
MS-704/RM-704, SB-440 or SB-704 Station manual to locate
these controls.
4. If the Stage Manager is to hear the Program Audio, adjust the
Program Level control on the MS-232, MS-702, MS-440,
MS-704, RM-440, RM-704, SB-440 or SB-704 Station. If or
whenever the Stage Manager does not need to monitor this, the
Program Level control can be turned fully counter-clockwise.
If the program audio on the intercom channel(s) is to be interrupted
when the Stage Manager presses the Talk button, then the
On-Off-Interrupt switch for that channel should be set to the
INTERRUPT position. If stage microphone audio should be heard on a
channel at all times, its On-Off-Interrupt switch should be set to the ON
position. If it is not desirable to have audio from the stage
microphones on an intercom channel, its On-Off-Interrupt switch
should be set to the OFF position.
Because of the multiple-channel capability, the Stage Manager can
communicate individually to three separate areas: Props and Scenery,
Sound and Lighting, and Costuming, Makeup, and Talent. 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 the
Props and Scenery channel and the Sound and Lighting channel.
The drawback of the Program Audio to Stage Announce option is that
the people in the Green Room, Hallways, and Dressing rooms cannot
communicate back to the Stage Manager. This may not be drawback
in all cases. The benefit of this option is that it adds an additional
channel of communication from the Stage Manager.
