Studio Microphone Channel Operation

The third type of mic channel is a Studio Microphone.
This mic is typically located in a location separate from
the control room — perhaps a voice-over booth, a talk
studio separated by glass, or a news booth.
Logic for Studio Microphone channels is identical
to that of the Control Room Guest Microphone chan-
nel. Studio Microphone channels can be turned on and
off remotely and provide on/off status to a remote logic
device. and

Phone Channel Operation

The Phone Channel profile is used, naturally, for tele-
phone hybrid audio sources. Each Phone Channel has its
own discrete Feed-to-Source mix-minus output.
Each Element can accommodate as many unique,
automatically-generated mix-minus feeds as it has fad-
ers. If the Feed-to-Source mode is set to "Auto" (the
most common option - see Chapter 3: Working with
Sources for the section entitled "Source Profile Op-
tions"), phone callers hear the output of the
bus, minus himself, when the channels they're assigned
to are . When the caller's channel is
