+48V MASTER ON/OFF button located in the SYSTEM
SETUP screen.

• The PAD will be internally switched on or off when the HA

gain is adjusted between -14 dB and -13 dB. Keep in mind
that noise may be generated if there is a difference between
the Hot and Cold output impedance of the external device
connected to the INPUT connector when using phantom
power.

• You can also assign the talkback on/off function to a user-

defined key. In this case, you can choose either latched oper-
ation or unlatched operation (i.e., talkback will be On only
while you hold down the key) (

p. 196).

• You can also use Talkback Dimmer to lower the monitor level

of the non-talkback signals when talkback is on (

p. 146).
