1.5 Monitoring and Communication
Monitoring The Control Room (CR) monitoring section provides control of two different
speaker systems; one of them is multi-channel, the other one is two-channel
stereo and is normally used for the near field monitor speakers. All internal
digital sources can be assigned to any of the source selector keys, and up to
32 source selector keys are available. A headphone socket for control room
monitoring is located at the console’s right front edge below the hand rest.
The Studio Monitor is configurable in the same way as the CR monitor sec-
tion. Two stereo loudspeaker pairs are supported.
Talkback An extensive talkback system is implemented within Vista. The talkback
source can be either the desk operator’s microphone or an external producer
microphone. Several destin ations, such as busses, direct outputs, auxiliaries,
groups, and master outputs are available block.
Each channel is fitted with a talkback key that activates talkback to the direct
output of the corresponding channel and, if the channel is an N–X owner, to
the N–X output. For details see the block diagram below.
