A group of communications buttons (talkback etc.) are fitted below the
central routing panel. A built-in talkback microphone and pots to set the
level of TB to Foldback, Talkback Out (an external talkback
feed), Slate level (talkback to Main Mix, Track bus and channel outputs)
and an incoming Listen mic, are provided in the ‘Comms” section above
the DAW control TFT screen (see right).
Note that a gain control for the talkback mic preamp is provided on the
connector panel adjacent to the external talkback output jack. If
required, an external talkback mic may be connected to the console’s
talkback distribution circuitry via an XLR on the connector panel. When
using this facility, turn the console mic preamp gain fully anticlockwise
(off) if you no longer wish the inboard mic to contribute to the talkback
system.
Note also that, apart from SLATE, which cuts the monitors, all the
following functions dim the monitors. All the buttons, apart from
LISTEN and RED LIGHT, can be selected to be latching,
momentary or to be inhibited in Play or Record - see opposite for
details.
SLATE — Interrupts the Main Mix and Track bus outputs with
talkback.
F/B A and F/B B — Adds (or optionally replaces) talkback to the associated foldback outputs after the level and
cut controls.
EXT T/B — Sends talkback to an external feed, available via a 1/4” jack on the connector panel. Level is adjusted
using the Talkback Out pot (see above).
TB ALL feeds talkback to the foldback sends and the external talkback output.
LISTEN — Injects an external mic signal (connected via an XLR on the centre section connector panel) onto the
Mini A loudspeaker set and dims the main loudspeakers. This button is latching (optionally inhibited in Play or
Record); the level is adjusted using the Listen pot (see above). The mic is usually placed in the recording area. The
circuitry features SSL’s legendary listen mic compressor, the sound of which is much loved by many experienced SSL
users, so the connector panel provides a post compressor output XLR — ‘Listen Mic Out’.
RED LIGHT — this provides an isolated contact closure for hooking up to a studio red light via an external relay
box.
The talkback button functions are all duplicated on a Talkback/GPIO connector on the rear of the console,
as are the monitor CUT and DIM switches. See the Duality SE Installation Manual for more information.
