These settings are described in detail in the following sections.
Microphone On/Off (Toggle)
The “Microphone On/Off” function allows you to set up an external
logic device, such as a panel-mounted switch, a foot switch, or the
logic output of some other device, to shut the panel’s microphone on or
off.
To use a logic device to turn the panel’s microphone off and on:
1. Select the “Microphone On/Off” option in the Eclipse Configuration
System.
2. Connect a logic device (such as a foot switch, a panel-mounted
switch, or the logic output of another device) to the i-Series panel’s
GPI connector.
3. Switch on the logic device to turn the panel’s microphone on. Switch
off the logic device to turn the panel’s microphone off.
Mute Microphone Output to Frame
The “Mute Mic Output to Frame” function allows you to set up an
external logic device, such as a panel-mounted switch, a foot switch,
or the logic output of some other device, to shut off the audio going
from the panel to the matrix frame.
Note that this feature does not turn off the “hot-microphone” output
described later in this chapter. The A3M standard XLR connector
labeled “J8” on the back of your i-Series panel is the hot-microphone
output connector. It provides a line-level output of the selected
microphone’s audio (headset or panel) that is always “on” (or “hot”).
Only the panel’s microphone on/off key can override this output.
To use a logic device to shut off the audio going from the panel to
the frame:
1. Select the “Mute Mic Output to Frame” option in the Eclipse
Configuration System.
2. Connect a logic device (such as a foot switch, a panel-mounted
switch, or the logic output of another device) to the i-Series panel’s
GPI connector.
3. Switch on the logic device to shut off the audio going from the panel
to the frame.
Note that the “hot-microphone” output has not been shut off.
With the GPI connector, you
can connect an external logic
device—such as an external
foot switch, a panel-mounted
switch, or the logic output of
some other device—to your
panel.
