Point After: Balanced or unbalanced cable
with 1 ⁄ " TRS or TS connector.

Patch these outputs to an amp's inputs, and
patch the amp's outputs to speakers mounted
at the console. Alternatively, the MONITOR
outputs can deliver the FOH (front-of-house)
headphone mix to an engineer operating a
secondary stage monitor console.
If you want to drive several pairs of head-
phones via an outboard amplifier, patch these
outputs to that amp.
If the console is in a soundproof room, as in
live sound-studio work or studio recording/mix-
down, patch these outputs to your control room
amplifier and speakers. Be aware: the intercom
signals

TALKBACK

Point Before: ASSIGN
Point After: Balanced or unbalanced cable with
1 ⁄ " TRS or TS connector.

If you want the TALKBACK signal to be
routed somewhere other than the AUX SEND
MASTERS, LEFT/RIGHT mix, or MATRIX A–D,
patch this output to that device. Similar to the
MONITOR outputs, this jack is generally not
required, but can be a lifesaver in unusual
situations.

as a monitor console. Simply patch from the
FOH (front-of-house) console's TALKBACK
output to a line-level Channel input of the
monitor console. Then use that Channel's AUX
sends to deliver the TALKBACK signals to the
stage monitors.

TALKBACK MIC INPUT

Point Before: Balanced microphone-level cable
with male XLR connector (pin 2 = hot, pin 3 =
cold, pin 1 = shield). This connector has 48-volt
phantom power permanently engaged.
Point After: TALKBACK section
Patch one dynamic or condenser microphone
to either jack to enable the TALKBACK func-
tions (there is no built-in microphone). The two
phantom-powered jacks are wired in parallel,
feeding a balanced mic preamp, then controlled
by the TALKBACK LEVEL
Since these jacks are wired in parallel, only
one should be used at a time.
