About the Talkback and Oscillator functions

Talkback is a function that sends the signal of a mic connected to the TALKBACK jack to the desired
bus. This is used mainly to convey instructions from the operator or sound engineer to the performers
and staff. If necessary, you can also use a mic connected to an INPUT jack on the I/O rack or the OMNI
IN jack on the CL unit for talkback.
CL series consoles also feature an oscillator that can output a sine wave or pink noise to the desired bus,
so that you will be able to check external equipment or to test the acoustical response of the room or
hall.
The diagram below shows the signal flow of the talkback and oscillator signals.
