Talkback

In addition to the Fat Channel controls, the StudioLive CS18AI has a
section of Global controls for accessing talkback, Solo modes, graphic
EQ, mute groups, monitoring, and more. These sections are designed to
provide quick and intuitive access to the most essential mix controls.

The CS18AI will automatically assign Input 1/TB as the talkback source for the
connected RM mixer. This can be routed to the aux outputs and to the mains.
1. Talk. Turns the talkback mic on and off. It will illuminate to
indicate that the talkback mic is active. When illuminated, the
talkback-mic signal will be patched to all assigned outputs.
Main. Assigns the talkback mic to the Main outputs.
2.
3. All. Assigns the talkback mic to all Aux and Main outputs.
4. Custom. Assigns the talkback mic to a custom configuration of aux mixes.
The aux mix assignments can be selected in the Talkback Edit screen.
5. Edit. Opens the talkback custom assignment page in the touchscreen. From
here you can select any combination of aux mixes to receive talkback.
At the top of the Talkback Assign screen you can see the
current talkback input source and a gear icon.
Pressing the gear icon opens the Talkback Settings screen. Here you
can select a different talkback source, adjust the talkback preamp
level, and engage +48 phantom power on the talkback input.
Power User Tip: While the talkback can be assigned and unassigned
to multiple aux buses at once, each aux mix provides its own
individual level control for the talkback via the Returns layer.
