Hot Tip!
If you have already determined the clipping point of your console, or are using AES/EBU,
you can just select a level setting using the chart in section 7.3.1. Recall that the system
allows for 13dB of headroom, regardless of the Input Gain setting, so you should select a
setting that is 13dB below the clipping point of your board.
Of course if you already know the clipping point of your console you probably don’t need
this advice!
• Set the right meter to STUDIO OUT, if necessary, by pressing the button located on
the meter. You should see the audio from the phone line on these LED bargraphs
(since we are connected hybrid 1 to hybrid 2 the audio will be reversed. The audio
sent to hybrid 1 will return on hybrid 2 and will be on the LED bargraph labeled 2
and the audio sent to hybrid 2 will return on hybrid 1 and will be on the LED
bargraph labeled 1. Bring up the fader for hybrid 1 on your console.
• Adjust the TWOx12’s Output Gain adjustment found in the Audio Settings screen.
This sets the level for both outputs. Once you have set hybrid 1 pull that fader
down and bring up the fader for hybrid 2. If the sources are not reading identically
you will need to adjust the input trim of the console on one of the two input
channels.
• You can drop the call you made in the previous section. Push the right Drop
button .
3.7 Time to test it out!
Ok, you made it! Another hour and you can go home for the day! First we will check that
the mix-minus for each hybrid is correct. Then we will make a test call.
• Confirm that the Desktop Director you will be using has power and says “Talent”
at the top of the screen. If it says “Producer” follow the directions in section 4.1.3
to change this Director to “Talent” mode.
• Next, pick up the handset and press the left Line 1 button to select that line for
dialing. You should now hear dial tone on the handset.
• Enter the phone number for a telephone line which has audio present, using the dial
pad (calling either the time or weather service works well for this).
• Press the left Line 1 button and hang up the handset to place the call on hybrid 1.
• Bring up hybrid 1 on the console. You should hear the audio from the phone line.
• Look at the left meter on the TWOx12 and verify that this audio is not present on
the “1” LED bargraph. If this audio is present here you are not feeding hybrid 1 a
mix-minus and you must fix this problem before you proceed.
