1.11 Talkback
(1) & (2) - TALK A / B
Select the destination of the Talkback mic signal with either the TALK A or
TALK B buttons. Press the VIEW button in the MONITOR section to edit the
Talkback routing for A and B.
(3) TALK LEVEL Rotary Control
Adjust the level of the Talkback volume with the TALK LEVEL rotary control.
1.11.1 Operation
talkback Tab
The TALKBACK screen o ers various adjustments for the talkback paths of the
console, such as destination of the talkback signal and more.
To adjust the various settings on the talkback tab, perform the
following steps:
1. The screen displays a multi-segment level meter showing the strength
of the talkback signal as it has currently been set. It also displays a
multi-segment gain reduction meter, showing the user how much
compression has been automatically applied to the talkback signal.
2. Tap the rst push encoder to enable the talkback circuit. The internal/
external talkback microphone will now transmit audio to the talkback
path’s assigned destination.
3. Adjust the third encoder to set the gain of the talkback signal. This is
an additional gain stage that follows the initial gain stage set by the top
panel TALK LEVEL control.
4. Tap the third encoder to toggle on/o the talkback circuits ‘auto-dim’
function. This function is useful in a studio setting, and will
automatically dim the control room outputs when the talkback circuit
is active. This prevents the talkback microphone from picking up too
much sound from the nearby studio monitors.
5. Adjust the fourth encoder to scroll through the various talkback
destinations, which include:
• • Mix Bus 1-16
• • LR Bus
• • Centre/Mono Bus.
6. Tap the fourth encoder to activate any talkback destination when it
is currently selected. Multiple talkback destinations can be selected,
allowing the talkback signal to reach many destinations at the
same time.
7. Tap the fth encoder to toggle the dedicated top-panel talkback
buttons between latching and non-latching operation.
8. Turn the sixth encoder to adjust the brightness of the lamp that is
connected to the console’s rear panel lamp connector.
9. Tap the sixth encoder to toggle the attached lamp on or o .
oscillator Tab
The oscillator tab o ers controls for the console’s onboard oscillator, a very
handy tool that can be used for setting up PA systems and testing various
signal ow paths without the need for a live source feeding a microphone.
Settings include oscillator type, frequency, volume and routing destinations.
To adjust the various settings on the oscillator tab, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the rst push encoder to set the level of the onboard oscillator.
2. Tap the rst encoder to toggle the oscillator on or o .
• • The Main Display shows a multi-segment level meter that shows
the current level of the oscillator.
3. Adjust the second encoder to set the frequency of the primary
onboard oscillator.
4. Adjust the third encoder to set the frequency of the alternate onboard
oscillator.
5. Tap the third encoder to alternate between Sine F1 and Sine F2.
6. Adjust the fourth encoder to select the type of oscillator to be used.
Choices include:
• • Sine Wave
• • Pink Noise
• • White Noise.
7. Tap the fourth encoder to engage the selected oscillator type.
8. Adjust the sixth encoder to select a destination for the
onboard oscillator. Choices include:
• • Mix Bus 1-16
• • Main L Bus
• • Main R Bus
• • Main L+R Bus
• • Main Centre / Mono
• • Matrix Outputs 1-6.
9. Tap the sixth encoder to assign the selected oscillator destination.
1.12 Assign
1.12.1 Buttons 1-8
Assign the eight buttons to various parameters for instant access to commonly
used functions. Details can be found on the Main Display by pressing the VIEW
button (see below).
1.12.2 VIEW
This gives you more detailed access to the ASSIGN functions via the Main Display.
The ASSIGN screen allows setup for the four user-assignable rotary controls and
the eight user-assignable buttons. Using this screen the console operator can
assign three sets of 12 custom controls to be available for adjustment at all times.
The ASSIGN screen contains the following separate tabs:
home: This screen provides a general overview of the 12 assigned controls
for all three control sets at the same time.
set A: This screen allows assignment of di erent console parameters to
the 12 custom controls for Set A.
set B: Works as described above, but for custom controls Set B
set C: Works as described above, but for custom controls Set C
HOME
The ASSIGN screen’s home tab provides a visual overview of the 12 assigned
controls for all three sets at the same time.
The home tab o ers visual feedback of the controls that have been assigned
to all three sets of custom controls, without having to bank between the three
sets one-by-one, or relying on abbreviated syntax shown in the custom control’s
dedicated LCD displays.
To adjust the various settings on the home tab, perform the following steps:
1. Turn any of the push encoders 1-5 to move screen focus to di erent custom-
assignable rotary controls and buttons in the A, B and C sets. The controls
currently selected with each of the four rotary controls are highlighted with
an orange outline.
2. Tap any of the push encoders 1-5 to switch to the edit screen for the speci c
custom control that was highlighted on the home tab screen.
SET A, B & C
The set A, B & C tabs allow mapping of speci c console parameters to the
eight assignable buttons and four assignable rotary controls. Using these
screens the user can map the exact parameters that are most useful to them
to the desired controls, in the desired order.
To adjust the various settings on the set A, B & C tabs, perform the
following steps:
1. Adjust the rst push encoder to select the colour used for the LCD screens
within that set.
2. Adjust the second push encoder to select to which of the 12 assignable
controls in the appropriate set you wish to map a parameter.
3. Adjust the third push encoder to scroll through a list of parameter categories
to which the selected assignable control can be mapped. Choices for the
buttons include:
• • Not Assigned
• • Jump to Page
• • Mute Channel
• • Inserts
• • E ect Button
• • MIDI
• • Remote.
• • Choices for the rotary controls include:
• • Not Assigned
• • Panorama
• • Sends
• • Dynamics
• • FX Parameters
• • MIDI
• • Remote.
4. Tap the third push encoder to select the desired type of parameter.
5. Where applicable, tap/select the fourth, fth and sixth push encoders to
assign the speci c parameter.
