as standard on the overbridge and overall gain is adjusted via the T/B GAIN con-
trol. The talkback signal may be routed to various destinations as follows:

Pressing this switch routes the talkback signal to the External Talkback output on
the rear panel EDAC connectors.

The talkback signal may be routed to any combination of the four Aux outputs by
pressing the appropriate switch.

that each individual Group is jumper selectable to enable the talkback signal to
either completely replace the group signal or mix with it.
