Chapter 14: Solo and Monitor Busses 107
Using the Intercom (“Com”)
The Intercom (“Com”) input on the back panel of the FOH
Rack can accept input from any compatible dynamic or con-
denser microphone.
When activated, the Intercom signal is mixed into the Moni-
tor bus after the source selectors in the Solo/PFL selection, so
is audible no matter what source (AFL/PFL, 2-Track, or Main
Mix) is sent to the Monitor bus.
The Intercom signal can also be routed to any D-Show Input
Channel or FX Return.
