Talkback 
The Talkback function sends the signal of an assigned I/O to selected busses, which 
are then routed to I/Os. It is used primarily to communicate between the mixer and 
the artists. Hold the Talk button to mute the control room speakers and open the 
Talkback channel. 
SETTING UP THE TALKBACK 
Select an input I/O channel. This is normally the input from the Talkback mic.  
  Select the physical input group (A or B). 
  If the talkback input is directly from an I/O device with preamp control, set the 48v phantom 
power and the phase reverse. 
  Adjust the gain of the talkback input signal (usually the mixer’s microphone).  
  Use this grid to set which busses the Talkback channel is patched to. The Talkback 
buss can be routed to any available I/O. It can also be routed to mixer busses, 
including Main outs. If All is selected, Talkback is patched to every buss. 
  Insert up to four plugins. Adjust the balance within the rack using the input and output 
gain adjust in the plugins. 
  Trim the level of the plugins mix with respect to the overall talkback signal. 
Sends to the headphone matrix. 
Create presets of the routing configurations. One a preset is saved, click on its number 
to recall.  
Preset utilities: All selects all routing possibilities, Trash un-patches all routing 
possibilities. File saves the current patches as a preset to the current recall button. 
Monitor section controls overall level, including gain, mono, mute, and dim. Adjust the 
dim level reduction with the small knob on the right side.
