TALKBACK & OSCILLATOR

DESK VIEW

Figure 12-1: TB/Oscillator Panel Controls.

Setup Key

The [SETUP] key opens and closes a dedicated Config page on the Output Vistonics™, allowing control
over the following Talkback and Oscillatot functionality: Mic gain and routing destinations for the three
preset buttons, routing of return TB to busses and/or phones; Oscillator waveform, freq, mode and routing.
The remaining controls on the front panel are for the talkback system only.

TB Mic XLR

There are 2 parallel-connected mic inputs: one on the front panel of the console, and one on the rear of
the console. The switch for phantom power for both sockets, if it is required, is next to the rear panel
socket.

TB /Osc Level control

This front panel encoder gives real-time control of TB or Osc level. For Talkback, the analogue Mic Amp gain
is set at one of three values (46dB, 56dB or 66dB) by an internal jumper which is located on the pcb that
holds the rear panel TB mic socket. If the Oscillator is active, the control adjusts the Osc level to all desti-
nations. The level setting is stored independently for TB and Osc.

Routing the TB signal

The following keys route the internal TB mic (or other TB source - see Figure 12-5) signal.
INT
The TB signal is routed to preselected output busses. Output busses are selected via their {TB} VST keys in
the VST area of the master screen. The {TB} keys are enabled by selecting the [TB ASSN] key which is
located to the right of the master screen's VST area. The output busses are displayed in two ranges, 1-16
and 17-32, which are controlled via the [PAGE A] and [PAGE B] keys (see Figure 7-6 ).
EXT
The TB signal is routed to an external balanced analogue line output on the Local Rack (TB OUT), or to a
choice of outputs on the Local Rack, Stage Box or MADI interface (see Figure 12-6).
PRESET 1 - 3
Presets 1-3 are user-programmable press-to-talk (momentary & latching) switches which talk directly to
specified outputs.
