+
+4488VV
The +48V switch applies phantom power to the Talkback mic input XLRs when
pressed.
q
--3300ddBB
The -30dB switch inserts a 30dB pad in the input for use with high level signals or
external test generators.
w
FFOOHH
The FOH button (momentary/latching, green LED) initiates talkback to the front
of house console using either the Soundcraft proprietary Blythphone system, or
a Clear-Com compatible intercom system. With the latter, an incoming CALL
signal is displayed by the console lamps flashing, and pressing the FOH button will
then allow 2-way communication, with incoming Talkback appearing on the con-
sole headphone Output, dimming the existing signal by 15dB, and dimming the
wedge Output by 20dB.
e
TTOO OOUUTTPPUUTTSS VVIIAA TTBB ((IINNTT))
Pressing TO OUTPUTS VIA TB (INT) routes the talkback signal internally to any
outputs (Group or Matrix) which have been previously armed for talkback (local
TB switch ON). If the switch is pressed momentarily, the switch latches.
Alternatively, pressing and holding the switch for more than about one second
produces a momentary action until the switch is released. The switch illuminates
to warn that TB is active. This action also dims the wedge Output by 20dB.
r
CCAALLLL
Pressing the momentary CALL switch sends a CALL signal to the intercom loop.
Talkback communication may then be activated by pressing FOH (see above).

t
PPFFLL TTRRIIMM
The PFL trim control gives +/-10dB of level adjustment to the input solo level
heard in the Wedge and Phones outputs. The output AFL solos have their own
individual trim controls on their respective output modules.
y
SSOOLLOO CCLLEEAARR
Pressing SOLO CLEAR cancels any solos on the console.
u
IINNPPUUTT PPRRIIOORRIITTYY
The INPUT PRIORITY (ON) switch, when selected, allows an input solo to tem-
porarily override any output solo which may be present. When the input solo is
released, the original output solo will reappear on the monitors. If AUTOCAN-
CEL (see below) is also ON, input solos still have priority, but input solos will only
cancel other input solos, and output solos will only cancel other output solos.
i
AAUUTTOO CCAANNCCEELL
The AUTOCANCEL (ON) button, when selected, allows any solo button selected
to cancel the previous solo, so that only one SOLO can be active at once. With
the switch released, SOLOs are additive.
o
MMAASSTTEERR MMOODDEE ((PPFFLL // AAFFLL))
The global PFL/AFL mode for the console is set by this switch, as either PFL
(switch released) or AFL (switch pressed).
