Speaker A
The Speaker A outputs are balanced, 1/4-inch, TRS (Tip/ Ring/ Sleeve) phone connectors which output a +4dB
line level signal. You can connect to an active studio monitor or power amplifier here.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In order to maintain the best gain structure and signal to noise ratio, we highly recom-
mend that only balanced cables be used on the SPEAKER A outputs. For detailed balanced cable wiring dia-
grams, please see page 17 in this manual.
Speaker B
The Speaker B outputs are unbalanced, RCA connectors which output -10dB line level signal. You can connect
to an active studio monitor, multimedia speaker or power amplifier here.
Speaker C
The Speaker C outputs are unbalanced, RCA connectors,
which output -10dB line level signal. You can connect to
an active studio monitor, multimedia speaker or power
amplifier here.
External Cue Output
The External Cue outputs are balanced, 1/4-inch, TRS
(Tip/ Ring/ Sleeve) phone connectors which output a
+4dB line level signal. This output is used to connect the
signal from the Talkback microphone to your headphone
cue mix. Many good headphone amplifiers such as the Samson C cue 8 or Samson S phone provide an auxilia-
ry input so that you can mix in the signal from the talkback mic with the stereo cue mix from your mixing con-
sole. This convenient feature allows the engineer and/or producer to talk to the talent over the headphone
mix. There is more information on the Talkback feature in the section “Operating C control” following later in
this manual.
TALK REMOTE
The C control’s TALKBACK microphone can be turned on and off from an external switch connected to the
TALK REMOTE input. The 1/4-inch phone jack is wired, “normally-open”, so a switch that shorts the TALK
REMOTE jack’s TIP to its SLEEVE will turn the TALKBACK microphone on and off in a momentary action. This
will allow the producer to move freely about the studio while talking to the talent.
AC INLET
The AC Inlet is where the C control receives it power from the included 18-volt AC power supply. Be sure to
use only the Samson AC1800 when operating the C control.
