Talkback and Oscillator

About the Talkback and Oscillator functions

Talkback is a function that sends the signal of a mic connected to the TALKBACK jack to the desired

bus. This is used mainly to convey instructions from the operator or sound engineer to the performers

and staff. If necessary, you can also use a mic connected to an INPUT jack on the I/O device or the

OMNI IN jack on the CL unit for talkback.

CL series consoles also feature an oscillator that can output a sine wave or pink noise to the desired bus,

so that you will be able to check external equipment or to test the acoustical response of the room or

hall.

The diagram below shows the signal flow of the talkback and oscillator signals.

Using Talkback

The Talkback function sends the signal (that is input at the input jacks) to the desired bus.

1. In the Function Access Area, press the MONITOR button to access the MONITOR

screen.

In the MONITOR screen, the TALKBACK field enables you to check the current talkback

settings, and turn talkback on or off.

If you want to view or edit the talkback settings in greater detail, use the TALKBACK popup

window described in step 2 and subsequent steps.

1 TALKBACK popup display button

Enables you to access the TALKBACK popup window, in which you can make detailed talkback

settings.

2 TALKBACK IN field

• +48V indicator .......................... Indicates the on/off status of the +48V phantom power

supplied to the TALKBACK jack.

• TALKBACK IN level meter.....Meters the level of signals after the input gain at the

TALKBACK jack.
