Cue, Phones, Aux Out&Talkback Sections.6 - Yamaha MC2410M Operating Manual

CUE, PHONES, AUX OUT & TALKBACK SECTIONS
© INPUT CUE indicator
This LED indicator will light when any of the channel
input CUE switches, or RETURN in CUE switches are
turned on. Please note that this indicator is unaffected
by the group CUE switches; even if the group CUE
switches are engaged, this indicator will not light.
This indicator is a particularly useful visual reminder if
the operator has temporarily removed his headphones.
® AUX OUT level control
This controls the level of the signal from the AUX buss,
received from the input channel AUX controls and auxil¬
iary sub inputs. Nominal output level is obtained with
the control at position "A".
© Aux out CUE switch
Depressing this switch allows the AUX signal mix to be
monitored via headphones or the operator's monitor
speaker.
This is useful for easy checking of effects levels, or any
signals routed to the AUX busses.
© AUX-CUE METER select switch
With this switch in its up position, the two rightward VU
meters will indicate the AUX 1 & 2 output signal levels.
In the down position, the CUE signal levels will be indi¬
cated.
® Talkback Assign switches
These switches determine to which buss the talkback
signal is routed. Talkback may be sent to any of the ten
group outputs, and the two auxiliary outputs.
This provides communication not only with the perform¬
ers, but also with the house sound engineer (normally
via the TB OUT facility), stage staff or even dressing
rooms (the AUX outputs are suitable for this purpose).
© TB OUT switch
Pressing this switch will send the talkback signal to the
TB OUT connection.
© Talkback INPUT
A low impedance microphone should be connected at
this terminal for talkback use. Nominal input level and
impedance are -50 dB/50—600 ohms.
This offers the advantage of being able to use the micro¬
phone of your choice, rather than limiting you to a buil¬
t-in microphone. One possibility would be to use a
two-way communications headset, which would provide
greatly increased mobility.
© Talkback INPUT LEVEL control
This control allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the TB
input channel, to match the microphone you are using.
Nominal output level is obtained with the control at "A"
on the scale.
© CUE SIGNAL L-R indicators
These LED indicators illuminate when the cue signal is
20 dB below the nominal signal level.
© CUE OUT control
This control can be used to set the level of the CUE sig¬
nal appearing at the CUE OUT connection.
Nominal output level is obtained with control at position

© TALKBACK switch
Turning this switch ON (switch DOWN) activates the TB
microphone, providing communication with whichever
outputs are selected using the Talkback Assign switches.
© Phones LEVEL control
This control is used to control the signal level at the CUE
output, and operator's headphone volume. Nominal
level is obtained with the control at "A" on the scale.
