2.4.9 Area 9 – Talkback Control
[150] ¹ TALKBACK
Whenever TALK is pressed, the signal from the internal talkback MIC [73]
is fed to the corresponding group.
Note: The talkback signal is inserted directly before the output interface of
the core. If signals are routed internally to some other destinations, the
talkback will not harm them.
Available talk destinations:
• AUX: direct outputs of all AUX masters
• GRP: direct outputs of all group masters
• MAST: direct outputs of all masters
• DIR: direct outputs of all input channels
• BUS: outputs of all multi-track buses (without faders in between)
• STUDIO (Vista 6: talkback to both Studio A and B simultaneously)
