Telco Channel - Arrakis Systems X-mixer-14-14 Technical Manual

TELCO OPERATION
The X-mixer has an easy to use and
yet powerful Telco system. It supports a
single mix minus bus for a single phone
hybrid. Any of the 10 line level source
inputs can be assigned in the PC setup
software utility as a Telco channel.
Talking to the Caller
To simply speak directly to the caller,
activate the CUE button on the local mic
channel. Any other audio that the caller
may be hearing will be dimmed and the
mic will be heard. To listen directly to the
caller, activate the CUE button on the
Telco channel. The caller audio will be
audible in the cue system as if you were
cueing any other source.

ment.

When the channel is Off, the caller's mix
minus bus will be fed by the selection from
the Phone section of the operators panel
(Pgm, Aud, or Off-line).
When the channel is On and no bus is
assigned in the Telco channel, then the call-
er's mix minus bus will also be fed by the
selection from the Phone section of the
operators panel. If the channel is On and a
bus is assigned in the Telco channel, then
the caller's mix minus bus is fed from the
selected Telco bus (Pgm, Aud, Mono).
Telco Record Output
The console has an "Assignable Output"
that can be setup as either a special Cue
output or as a Record output that follows
