MIX- MINUS TIP!
This arrangement is very flexible as it allows the operator to place any or all sources
in Utility for the caller to hear. Also, if the talent wishes to talk about the caller
without him/her hearing, the talent’s microphone need only be taken out of Utility to
do so.
The only drawback to this approach is the potential for the operator to accidentally
put the hybrid in Utility, in which case it is no longer a mix- minus.
Example 2: Using a utility mixer
A general purpose utility mixer is used to record interviews off the telephone line using a
single hybrid. The mixer’s main bus is fed to the recording device. Both the microphone
and the hybrid will be brought up on the faders so the interview can be recorded.
Again, we will use a second buss to feed the hybrid. In this case, we will take the Aux 1
output to feed the hybrid. We will turn up Aux 1 for the microphone but we will make sure
it is turned fully off for the input channel with the caller audio.
