Talkback Section - Mackie HUI Reference Manual

1
Input source select switches. These
switches allow you to monitor whichever stereo
input sources you have selected. Labeled IN-
PUT 1, INPUT 2, and INPUT 3, they correspond
to the MONITOR INPUTS 1, 2, and 3 jacks on
HUI's rear panel.
2
1:1 Discrete switch. This switch deter-
mines whether HUI's inputs act as three stereo
pairs assignable to any stereo output, or as six
discrete mono inputs assigned to their corre-
sponding outputs only (used for
surround-sound mixing).
3
Mono switch. When this switch is en-
gaged, HUI sums all signals through the
MASTER VOLUME control into one mono signal.
4
Master Volume control. This level con-
trol determines the overall level of the currently
selected monitor source(s).
5 Output level controls. Each one of these
controls adjusts the output level of its respec-
tive audio output pair.
6
Output select switches. These switches
determine which monitor outputs are being
used. Labeled OUTPUT 1, OUTPUT 2, and
OUTPUT 3/PHONES, they correspond to the
MONITOR OUTPUTS 1, 2, 3 and PHONES
jacks on HUI's rear panel.
7
Mute and Dim switches. Out of the box, the
MUTE switch mutes all three MONITOR OUT-
PUTS (including PHONES), while DIM lowers
HUI's monitor output level by a set amount (de-
fault is 20dB).
To assign mute and dim control to specific out-
puts, press and hold the OPTION/ALL and
MUTE or OPTION/ALL and DIM switches. The
LEDs in the OUTPUT assign switches begin
blinking to indicate which OUTPUTS are as-
signed to that particular
function. Press an OUTPUT
switch to toggle the MUTE or
DIM assignment on and off.
When it's set the way you
want, press and hold the
OPTION/ALL and MUTE or
OPTION/ALL and DIM
switches again to quit.
To change the amount of
dim level (i.e., more or less
than the default 20dB), press
and hold the OPTION/ALL
and DIM switches to enter
the Dim Assignment Mode
(make sure the DIM switch
is turned on first if you want
to monitor the dim level as
you adjust it). Turn the SCROLL knob left or
right to adjust the dim level, which appears in
the VFD in 1dB increments. (The SCROLL knob
is located on the front panel, in the upper right
corner beneath the INSERT/PARAM switch.)
Note: For more on how MONITOR INPUTS and
OUTPUTS work with HUI's surround-sound ca-
pabilities, see pages 17 and 23.

Talkback Section

8
Talkback level control. This controls the
level of the internal (panel) talkback mic only.
9 Talkback panel mic. This on-board mic
allows you to communicate with the talent,
slate take numbers into your session, etc.
Note: Be sure the INTERNAL/EXTERNAL
select switch on the rear panel is set to INTER-
NAL when using the panel mic.
bl
Talkback Enable switch. This switch
turns on/off the talkback panel mic circuit on
both the panel mic and external talkback mics.
Press and hold this switch to talk, and the red
LED in the switch lights to indicate the talkback
function is active. If using the REMOTE TALKBK
TRIGGER jack on the rear panel to turn the
talkback mic on and off, the red LED in the switch
lights when the talkback function is active.
To route talkback assignment (it's routed only
to OUTPUT 3/PHONES as a default), press
and hold the OPTION/ALL and TALKBACK
switch. The LEDs in the OUTPUT assign switches
begin blinking to indicate which OUTPUTS are
assigned to the TALKBACK function. Press an
OUTPUT switch to toggle the TALKBACK as-
signment on and off. When it's set the way you
want, press and hold the OPTION/ALL and
TALKBACK switches again to quit. Of course,
beware of feedback situations!
