2.1.7 Calibrate the Talkback Microphone
1. Zero the Main Output level, Talkback level, Cue output, individual headphone
level, and Dim attenuation knobs by turning them fully counterclockwise.
2. Connect headphones to any one of the Phones outputs and select Cue as the
source by pressing the corresponding Source button so that it latches in its
down position.
3. Play some typical audio, such as a song on your phone or an
existing project, and select that audio source as your only
input to the Cue bus, as described in Section 4.1.2.
4. Put on the headphones you connected in step 2 and set them to a
comfortable listening volume by turning up the corresponding Level knob.
5. Engage the talkback microphone by pressing the Talk button;
the level of the audio in your headphones is lowered.
6. Begin speaking into the talkback microphone, slowly turning up the
talkback Level knob until you can hear yourself speaking through the
headphones but your voice isn’t loud enough to annoy the performers.
2.1.8 Connect the Cue Outputs
In addition to the four individual amplied headphone jacks on its front panel,
the Monitor Station V2 provides rear-panel Cue L/R Line Outputs that you can
connect to a separate headphone amplier. Their audio is selected using the
front-panel Cue Source buttons, as described in Section 4.1.2. You can set their
level using the front-panel Cue Output knob, as explained in Section 4.1.2.
Here’s how to calibrate a headphone amplier.
1. Zero the Main Level and Cue Output knobs by turning them fully
counterclockwise.
