TB AUX DB9
★ This DB9 is packed full of things to make a remote talkback station for the producer. Use them in this
way or split them up as you see fit. Here is what you’ll need to know:
○ You can add another EXTERNAL TALKBACK MIC on this connector. It is parallel with the
EXTERNAL TALKBACK XLRF on the rear of the card, so use caution if connecting both at the
same time. Phantom power is NOT provided. Pin 2 is Mic -, Pin 6 is Mic +, Pin 7 is Mic
Ground.
○ The TALKBACK preamp signal is available on pin 8, in case you would like to send it to the
front desk, another studio, an underground AM radio station, or any such place that suits
you.
○ TALKBACK and DIM are switchable on this connector. Pin 4 is TALKBACK logic, pin 3 is DIM
logic. Connect either to the ground on pin 9 to remotely switch their function.
○ +5 volts is available on pin 5 for LED indicators, or other functions as needed.
○ Pin Configuration:
1. Ground
2. Mic -
3. Dim Logic
4. Talkback Logic
5. +5 Volts
6. Mic +
7. Mic Ground
8. Talkback Preamp Output
9. Logic Ground
Solo System
★ The SLATE CONTROL is designed to function not only as a stand-alone monitor controller, but also as
the center-section of a modular console. To that end, it has been fitted with a SOLO SYSTEM that may
be incorporated into said modular console, used in conjunction with your DAW, or used in any
number of creative ways.
○ On the EXT INPUT DB25, cable pairs 5 & 6 input to the SOLO SYSTEM. When using the logic
circuit described above on the VU AUX DB9, engaging the SOLO SYSTEM will replace the
CONTROL ROOM SOURCE with the SOLO SYSTEM INPUT. When the SOLO SYSTEM is active,
the MIX 1 lamp will turn purple if MIX 1 is selected, red if any other source is selected.
Auto-Talkback System
★ The SLATE CONTROL is equipped with an AUTO TALKBACK system. When T/B AUTO is selected on
the control head panel, Talkback will latch on until signal is presented to the AUTO T/B INPUT on
cable pairs 7 and/or 8 of the EXT INPUT DB25. Suggested uses:
○ Mult the MIX 1 signal or your DAW’s main mix out to the input. When playback stops,
talkback will open up. If using this method, an open mic going through the MIX 1 or your
DAW main mix outputs may result in closing the talkback momentarily. This may actually
be desirable when working with a singer or band, but if it is not an alternative method is
listed below.
○ Print a tone to a pair of tracks in your DAW (or a single track) and send this output
exclusively to the AUTO T/B Input. When playback is active, Talkback will drop out. When
playback is stopped, Talkback will engage and stay latched REGARDLESS of any throughput
on MIX 1 or any other input.
