Using The Remote Control - Radial Engineering STUDIO Q User Manual

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

Radial makes a footswitch called the JR1-M™� This momentary footswitch is able to control the Studio-Q remotely by
connecting a simple ¼" TS cable� The JR1-M can be set up in two modes, one with LED and one without� For use with the
Studio-Q, you must set the footswitch to operate without LEDs as they will not receive power from the Studio-Q�
There are two reasons to have a remote footswitch. The fi rst is that for some studio engineers they prefer to switch the
talkback mic on or off using a footswitch as this allows them to be twisting knobs and pushing a mouse around while talking�
The other is for the producer� He may be sitting at the back of the room talking into an external mic where he cannot reach
the Studio-Q and being able to turn on the mic using a footswitch makes this easy� In both cases, the footswitch input
improves productivity!
Using a footswitch with the Studio-Q is as simple as plugging it into the REMOTE IN ¼"
connector on the back of the unit� In normal operation the footswitch will only activate the
external microphone, allowing a producer at the back of the room control over their microphone
only� When the REMOTE ON BOTH MICS recessed switch on the side of the Studio-Q is
activated then any connected footswitch will activate both microphones simultaneously�

USING THE REMOTE OUTPUT
The REMOTE OUT connection on the Studio-Q™ allows an external device to receive a switching signal when the
TALKBACK switch is pressed so that a relay or beacon can be used to attract attention when needed�
There are two ways to set up the dry contact output:
1� Switch set to OUT position – When the Talkback switch is pressed, this provides 12VDC
at the remote out jack to operate a small light or to trigger a relay� The maximum current
available at the output is 200mA� This output is NOT isolated from the internal circuitry of the
Studio-Q™� Be careful as grounding either conductor anywhere may cause a ground loop�
2� Switch set to IN position - When the Talkback switch is pressed, this provides a dry contact
closure that is totally isolated from the internal circuitry of the Studio-Q� The line coming from
this output may be exposed to a maximum peak voltage of 30V with a maximum current
load of 500mA�
