The RM1d offers two different modes of Talkback operation that provide solutions for both Self-
Op and non Self-Op applications.
The information provided below is used in conjunction with the TALKBACK ASSIGN menu (See
Section 4.38) and the
Talkback Swap function found in the SYSTEM menu (See Section 4.37).
General Studio Lay-Out
For this explanation we will assume that the room housing the console is known as the Control
Room and the area on the other side of the glass is known as the Studio.
It is quite possible for guests, performers or indeed the Presenter (DJ) to be located in either
the Control Room or the Studio.
The default settings of the RM1d assume that the Presenter is operating the console from the
Control Room (this is commonly known as Self-Op).
However, at the request of broadcasters who operate with the Presenter in a different room
(usually the Studio) from the console, the RM1d provides the TALKBACK SWAP feature.
Below, we have outlined how you should operate the console in each scenario.
Scenario 1 - Presenter (DJ) in Control Room (Talkback Swap
'Off')
The Presenter is operating the console and will use his 'On Air' microphone to talk to his guests
as well (Talkback). This is very convenient and means that there is no need for a separate
talkback microphone.
The way this works is that the same channel that the Presenter's microphone is connected to,
is set-up as the 'Talkback' channel.
The Presenter can then talk to the Studio/Guest phones whenever all three of the following
conditions are met:
l
The TALK button is ON. (either momentary or latched)
l
The fader on the Talkback Channel is at -infinity (fully closed)
l
The Talkback Destination is enabled (Studio and/or Guest button selected)
Presenter can talk to any of the Cleanfeed outputs
The Presenter can then talk to any of the Cleanfeed outputs whenever all three of the following
conditions are met:
l
The TALK button is ON. (either momentary or latched)
l
The fader on the Talkback Channel is at -infinity (fully closed)
l
The PFL (CUE) button is ON for those Cleanfeed outputs to which you want to speak
(either momentary or latched)
