Internal Talk Groups - Midas PRO SERIES Owner's Manual

Talk osc/routing

Internal talk groups

You can assign talkback or send test signals to any audio bus on the PRO Series. Preset
and user-configurable 'talk' groups allow you to, for example, talk to groups of
performers in a monitor mix or make group announcements. Also, by using the internal
tone oscillator, you can perform signal path testing and equipment alignment.
There are eight 'talk' groups available (four of each type), which are operated via
pushbutton in the talk/osc routing section of the master bay. Using the preset talk
groups you can route to all inputs, all auxes, all matrices or all outputs. Or, you can
create your own talk groups (up to four) and choose which of these you want in each
group; this is done via the GUI menu (see "Talk groups" on page 181).
Before you can select a talk group, the TALK/internal and/or OSC/internal buttons
must be switched on. (This also applies to generator routing.) Also, if any internal talk
or osc generator routing is active when the TALK/internal and/or OSC/internal
buttons are both switched off, this routing is cancelled.
When a talk group is activated, all talk group member functions are activated.
>> To activate a talk group
1
Make sure either one or both of the 'internal' buttons, that is, the TALK
(internal) button in the talk mic section and the OSC (internal) button in the
signal generator section, are on.
2
In the talk/osc routing section, press the desired talk/oscillator routing button
and hold down (for at least one second) until the button illuminates.
