B400 Functional Description

When the switch in question is released the talkback output carries, depending on

link settings, either no signal or the signal from the EXT CUE contacts which are

also available on the Comms Module EDAC. When the switch is pressed the

appropriate output carries the console Talkback signal.

The input to the talkback system is from the Talkback Mic XLR which is provided

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.

Pressing this switch routes the talkback signal to all groups simultaneously. Note

that each individual Group is jumper selectable to enable the talkback signal to

either completely replace the group signal or mix with it.

abled.

ule), the Stereo Master, Aux 4 or and external source via the rear panel EDAC

connector.
