TALKBACK SECTION

TALKBACK MICROPHONE
29
The C control features an internal condenser microphone located on the front panel, which can be used to
record an audio cue on the connected 2-tracks, or to communicate with other musicians, or other talent, lis-
tening to the mix on the EXTERNAL CUE outputs. The following sections detail how to route the signal, and
control the level of the TALKBACK MICROPHONE.
30 Talk To 2-Track
The TALK TO 2-Track switch is used to assign the TALKBACK MIC to the 2-Track out-
puts. This allows the engineers and producers in the studio control room to record
SOURCE
an audio cue on the any of the connected 2-Track recorders. The TALK TO 2-track
switch has a "momentary" action, so you must press and hold the switch while
talking or recording the TALKBACK MIC to the 2-tracks.

Talk To Cue
31
The TALK TO CUE switch is used to assign the TALKBACK MIC to the EXTERNAL CUE
output. This allows the engineers and producers in the studio control room to
communicate with the musicians in the recording room. The TALK TO CUE switch has a "momentary" action,
so you must press and hold the switch while talking or recording the TALKBACK MIC.
32 Talkback Level
The TALKBACK LEVEL control is used to adjust the volume of the signal that is picked up from the internal
TALKBACK MICROPHONE. Keep in mind that there is more than likely someone monitoring the EXTERNAL
CUE output on headphones when you press TALK TO CUE, so be sure to start at a low level. When using the
Talk to 2-track switch, adjust the level of the TALKBACK MICROPHONE by checking the connected 2-tracks
input level meters.
Using The Remote Talkback Function
You can remote control the Talkback switch by using a momentary switch connected to the TALK REMOTE jack
located on the rear panel. A standard footswitch, available at your local music retailer, or wired remote switch-
es like the Switchcraft SERIES ED900 can be used to conveniently engage the talkback circuit without actually
touching the C control. Below is a wiring diagram for the REMOTE TALK switch.
