Talkback 

Talkback lets the engineer talk to performers on stage through their monitors, or make announcements to the audience through the FOH system.

Use this page to assign Talkback to one or more of the Mix outputs. Touch a mix button to assign it On or Off.

Use the Trim control to adjust the talkback level once the preamp gain has been set. This provides +/-24dB range. Start with a 0dB setting.

To talk to the assigned mix press the surface Talk switch.

Note The Signal Generator is disabled while Talk is active.

SOURCE pull-up window

Use the pull-up to choose the Talkback source, adjust its gain, set its High Pass Filter and set its options.

Source Select - Open the drop-down menu to select Talkback source:

• Unassigned
• Any Input socket (Typically GLD Mic input 44)
• Any I/O Port input
• A Rack FX
• USB playback

Socket Preamp - Set the source Gain/Pad and phantom power, or Trim if the source is not a preamp. You can also make the source Scene recall Safe so that it is not changed when Scenes are recalled.

HPF – Set the High Pass Filter to filter out low frequencies, for example to reduce microphone handling noise.

Enable Latching - The default Talk switch operation is momentary (press and hold while talking). Turn this option on for latching operation (press to turn Talk on, press again to turn Talk off). Latched operation is useful when you are using a switched microphone for talkback.

Enable PAFL Dim on Talkback - Select this option if you want the currently selected PAFL signal to be dimmed (attenuated) in the engineers monitor while you are talking. It can prevent feedback from the talkback mic signal heard in the listen wedge next to you while mixing monitors on stage.

Note It is usual to turn Enable PAFL Dim off if you are using Latching Talk switch operation. Leaving it selected while using latched Talk with a switched microphone may result in the PAFL signal being permanently dimmed.
