Input Select Switch; Send To Analyzer Button; Talkback/Slate Button; Dim Button - Roland VM-C7100 Owner's Manual

Chapter 1 Introduction

7...INPUT SELECT switch

Selects the microphone input to be used for talkback. According to the position of the
switch, the microphone built into the panel (MIC 1) or an external microphone (MIC
2) can be selected. Set the switch to "48V ON" only when phantom power is required
for an external talkback microphone.
8...MIC 1 (internal microphone)
Small microphone built into the panel used for talkback communication with
performers.
9...PHONES (headphone jacks)
Two jacks for connecting stereo headphones. The two jacks share a common stereo
signal.
10...MIC 2 (external microphone connector)
Connector for an external microphone to be used for talkback. You can purchase a
commercially available flexible gooseneck microphone holder for this microphone.

11...Send to ANALYZER button

Press this button to send the talkback microphone signal to the internal spectrum
analyzer. When the button is pressed, [ANALYZER/OSC/GEN] also lights and the
display changes to the analyzer screen.
This feature presumes that an external talkback microphone uses Channel 24. The
built-in talkback microphone's signal will automatically be routed to the analyzer
via channel 24.

12...TALKBACK/SLATE button

Activates or de-activates the talkback function, according to the setting of the
TALKBACK BUTTON system parameter. This parameter can be set to
MOMENTARY—talkback is on only while [TALKBACK/SLATE] is depressed—or
to LATCH, where talkback is switched on with one [TALKBACK/SLATE] button-
press, and off with another. When talkback is activated, audio from the designated
talkback microphone is injected into the selected bus.

13...DIM button

Dim on/off button lowers the monitor volume to a pre-defined level.

14...OUTPUT PRESET A/B/C button

Selects any of three user-definable CONTROL ROOM monitor setups—each setup
contains a collection of CONTROL ROOM monitor parameter settings. Every press
of the A/B/C button toggles between setups A and B—to select Setup C, press the
SHIFT button and the A/B/C button.
15...(CONTROL ROOM) SOURCE SELECT button
Calls up a screen from which you can select the source of the signal to be fed to the
CONTROL ROOM monitor output.
Press this button together with [SHIFT] to display the detailed setting screen
associated with the three CONTROL ROOM monitor setups described in "14"
above.

While [TALKBACK/
SLATE] is turned on,
Channel 24 is presumed to
be controlling an external
talkback microphone and is
thus unavailable for other
purposes. This does not,
however, reset the source
setting for Channel 24
shown on the PATCHBAY
screen (p. 60).
