5.5.3 Talkback
¹ Momentary/Latching Talkback Keys
A short press on one of the talkback keys latches this talkback function, mean-
ing that talkback remains active until the same key is pressed a second time.
A long press on one of the talkback keys makes this talkback function work
in momentary mode, meaning that talkback is automatically canceled upon
release of the key.
¹ Control Room Talkback: In the Control Room, talkback to one or several destinations is triggered by
pressing one of the configurable TALKBACK keys on the monitoring/TB mod-
ule. The TB key in the channel strip normally is used for talkback to the N–X
output. It is possible to talk to any destination at a time. Talkback to the main
buses (PRG A, REC) is not allowed in the default configuration. To do this,
one of the TALKBACK keys needs to be assigned to the Slate function; then,
this SLATE key must be used in addition to the the talkback key of the main
bus in order to prevent talkback from going to these destinations unintention-
ally.
If talkback (to or from the control room) is active, the corresponding key(s)
is/are illuminated.
To simplify talkback to several destinations at a time, up to four talkback
groups can be setup easily (see chapter 5.5.3.1).
The input configured as “TB Source = CR” is the audio source for talkback
from the CR. This can either be the internal TB microphone or any desired
input.
The talkback return signal can be listened to with the internal speaker and/or
the DJ headphones.
¹ Fader Strip TB Key In general, each fader strip has a TB key for that particular channel. In default
mode, the input routing defines the talkback destination. However, it is con-
figurable what the destination shall be. In cases where talkback does not make
sense (e.g. if the source is a CD player), the button can be used for another
purpose (not supported by the default configuration).
¹ TB GRP See chapter 5.5.3.1.
SLATE Allows talkback to the main buses (PRG A, REC).
In order to prevent talkback from going to these destinations unintention-
ally, the SLATE key must be pressed together with the PRG A or REC master
talkback keys. The desk SLATE function is independend from the one on the
central screen’s MON TB SP page.
Note: The slate function is not available in the default console configuration but
may be activated with the configuration tool.
Studio Talkback: The control interface to the studio can be configured via the GPIO function
pool, where different inputs for talkback destination selection from the studio
are available. Possible destinations are: To CR or to N–X.
Inputs that have been configured as “TB Source = Studio” are the audio
sources for talkback from the studio. Four studio talkback sources are sup-
ported, they are mixed together in the console.
Talkback to the studio is listened to over the studio speakers and head-
phones.
The signaling and the talkback sources can be defined separately for each
input if required; this is done in the configuration tool.
