6.1 Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t I hear the talkback microphone?
• Only headphones with a Phones Source of “Cue”
can hear the talkback microphone.
• Connect and/or calibrate your talkback microphone according to Section 1.5.
• Verify your external mic does not require phantom power.
• If you are not using an external microphone, disconnect
anything connected to the XLR input.
Why do I see levels on the LED meter but not hear anything through the speakers?
• The LED meter only measures the Central Station’s input, not its output.
• Connect and calibrate your speakers according to Sections 1.3 and 3.3.
• Ensure that the correct Speaker Select button is lit and
that its Speaker Level Adjust knob is turned up.
• Disengage the Talk, Mono, Mute, and Dim buttons.
Then slowly turn up the Main Level knob.
• Move your speakers to a different output to verify
the outputs are functioning properly.
• Connect the input source directly to your speakers to
verify the speakers are functioning properly.
I have everything turned all the way up, but my speakers
still aren’t loud enough. What gives?
• The Central Station is not an amplifier, so please do not try to use it as one.
• The only inputs with preamp gain are the Aux/
Phono and external microphone inputs.
• The only outputs with gain are the headphone amplifiers.
Why doesn’t the Main Level knob control the Main Outs?
• The Central Station was not designed to function that way. Connect the Main
Outs to a device that should receive an unprocessed signal, such as a CD recorder.
