Global Talkback Enable
Jumper J1 placed over pins 1 & 2 enables global talkback. This is a system whereby all
programme presenters, guests, etc, can talk to each other from their individual microphones
via the monitoring system. When enabled, the system becomes active when the control
room and studio mutes are inactive i.e. no Mic channels with mic live muting are active. The
monitored source on each person’s headphones will dim by –12dB and they will be able
to talk and hear each other at a normal level. When a microphone channel fader is raised,
triggering a mute, the system will drop back into normal monitoring. The default setting for
J1 is disabled (not tted).
Control Room Loudspeaker Talkback Enable
Jumper J2 placed over pins 1 & 2 enables talkback to the control room monitor
loudspeakers. This will allow a talkback audio and control signal on the talkback input jack
to replace the monitored source on the loudspeaker monitors. If the monitors are already
muted then talkback will be muted too. Talkback will also appear on the control room
headphones as a replacement to the monitored source. The default setting for J2 is enabled.
Control Room Loudspeaker Talkback Dim Enable
Jumper J3 placed across pins 1 & 2 enables talkback dimming of the control room monitor
loudspeakers. With J2 and J3 enabled, incoming talkback will dim the monitored source by
–12dB and talkback will be heard at normal level. The default setting for J3 is enabled.
Control Room Headphone Talkback Dim Enable
Jumper J4 placed across pins 1 & 2 enables talkback dimming of the control room monitor
headphones. With J4 enabled, incoming talkback will dim the headphone source by –12dB
and talkback will be heard at normal level. The default setting for J4 is disabled (not tted).
Presets
There are no presets to adjust on the control room monitor channel.
Button Mode Settings
To make the S2 modules as exible as possible, every button on each channel can be set
to a number of dierent modes. These will aid in the use of the mixer and allow for extra
functionality. To make use of these modes, you must enter a setup mode which is exactly
the same for every module. It is only necessary to perform this procedure once.
To enter the setup mode, hold down the PGM and AUD buttons together for 5 seconds.
After which all the buttons will start a recurring ashing sequence, at this point it is ok to
release the PGM and AUD buttons. This sequence indicates the mode which each button is
currently set to. One ash equals mode one, two ashes equals mode two etc. To change the
mode for a particular button simply press it once and watch the number of ashes increase.
Once the maximum mode number has been reached it will simply wrap around to mode
one and continue as before. To exit this setup procedure press and hold both the PGM and
AUD buttons as before for 2 seconds and the module will start operating
as normal.
