Talkback and Oscillator
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.
NOTE
• The PAD will be switched on or off internally when the HA gain is adjusted between +17 dB and
+18 dB.
• Keep in mind that noise may be generated if there is a difference between the Hot and Cold
output impedance of the external device connected to the INPUT connector when using phantom
power.
• You can also assign talkback on/off or an ASSIGN change to a USER DEFINED key. In this case,
you can select either a Latch operation or an Unlatch operation (the function will be enabled only
while you continue holding down the key) (page 215).
• When talkback is on, you can use the talkback dimmer to lower the monitor levels other than the
talkback signal (page 112).

STEP
1. In the Function Access Area, press the MONITOR button.
2. Press the TALKBACK display button or the ASSIGN field in the MONITOR screen.
3. Connect a mic to the front panel TALKBACK jack, and turn the TALKBACK GAIN knob
to adjust the input sensitivity of the mic.
4. Press a button in the ASSIGN field in the TALKBACK window to specify the bus(es)
to which the talkback signal will be sent (multiple selections are allowed).
5. To enable talkback, press the TALKBACK ON button to turn it on.
