Talk mic

The control surface has an internal talk mic that lets you talk to external locations, and

you can also be talked to from an external location.

For the input and output talk connections, see “talk section” on page 268.

Internal talk mic

This is located in the talk mic section, and contains the controls for both the internal

talk mic and external talkback functions, which control a talkback microphone

connected to the PRO Series Control Centre. Both functions utilise the compressor

(limiter), which is in the microphone signal path immediately before the talk level

control.

The ouputs from the internal mic can be connected to the internal talk bus/talk external

XLR output (see Appendix B “Functional Block Diagrams”).

Item Element Description

1 TALK/[TLK]

switch

This talk internal switch connects the talk mic output

to the control centre’s internal talk system, while

simultaneously dimming all local outputs by 20dB to

prevent ‘howl round’. The internal talk bus can then

be mixed onto any of the control centre’s buses by

pressing the internal talk switches associated with

those buses, or mixed onto a group of buses by

activating an internal talk group (see “Talk osc/

routing” on page 152).

2 TALK/[TLK]

switch

This talk external switch connects the talk mic output

to the talk external output XLR.

3 level control knob Gives continuous adjustment to the post-limiter

signal from off (4) to +10dB.
