Using Talkback
Whether using the internal or external micro-
phones, operation of the Talkback button is the
same.
To use Talkback:
Press and hold the TALKBACK button. This
button is does not latch and therefore Talkback
is only active for as long as you depress the but-
ton.
The Talkback signal is sent to the AUX Out buss
to supply headphone/cue mix systems. Adjust
the level using the TALKBACK knob.
The Talkback signal is also sent to the Slate Out-
put jack on the rear or Control 24. The Slate
Output can be sent to any recorder (ranging
from a Pro Tools input to a cassette deck) for a
range of purposes, including logging takes and
the dictation or quick scratch recording of
phrases or ideas.
While Talkback is enabled, the Control Room
Monitor mix and AUX signals are momentarily
attenuated as if you pressed the DIM button.
The TALKBACK button will illuminate when de-
pressed. The Talkback mic signal, set by the
Talkback level control, is mixed with any signals
routed to the AUX outputs.
Using Listenback
To enable the Listenback microphone:
Press the Utility button.
1
Select "Monitor."
2
Select "Talkback."
3
If flashing, select "Listenback." When the LED
4
is lights solid, Listenback is enabled.
Select "Exit" or press the Utility button again
5
to return to normal operation.
When Listenback is enabled in conjunction
with talkback, the TALKBACK button LED will
flash when engaged. When two-way communi-
cation is not enabled, the LED will light solid
whenever talkback is activated.
You can also engage Listenback independently
of Talkback by pressing LISTEN MIC TO MONI-
TOR. This method mutes the control room out-
puts entirely when activated. Pressing the but-
ton again toggles the Listenback microphone off
and returns the control room outputs to their
previous state.
Listenback Level
The external Listenback microphone level is
controlled by the LISTEN MIC LEVEL control in
the COMMUNICATIONS/ HEADPHONE sec-
tion. The LISTEN MIC TO MONITOR button
routes the Listenback signal to the Control
Room Monitor section.
