provide a number of different ways in which
the unit can function. It’s critical to carefully
review the available options and choose
the ones that best meet the needs of a spe-
cific application. Note that switches can be
changed even while the Model 212 is pow-
ered up and operating. The unit’s operating
characteristics will change in “real-time” in
response to configuration changes.
Main Output Button Mode
Switches SW3-1 and SW3-2 configure how
the main output button functions.
• Hybrid: This mode is a combination of
push to talk and alternate action. It’s
similar to the way talk buttons function
on user stations associated with broad-
cast and production intercom systems.
If the button is pressed and held, the
main output channel will become active
until the button is released. If the button
is momentarily “tapped” the main output
channel will change state. Upon power
up the main output channel will be in its
muted state.
Talkback Output Button Mode
Switch SW3-3 configures the way the
talkback output button functions.
Figure 10. Talkback output button mode settings
There are four available modes:
• Push to mute: In this mode the main out-
put channel is normally active. The main
output channel will mute (have minimum
digital audio level) whenever the button
is pressed and held. This is the “cough”
mode typically used for on-air sports
broadcasting applications.
• Push to talk: In this mode the main out-
put channel is normally muted. The main
output channel will become active when-
ever the button is pressed and held.
• Alternate action: In this mode the main
output channel will change between its
active and muted state whenever the but-
ton is pressed. Upon power up the main
output channel will be in its muted state.
Two modes are available:
• Push to talk: In this mode the talkback
output channel is normally muted (mini-
mum digital audio level). The talkback
output channel will become active
whenever the button is pressed and
held.
• Hybrid: This mode is a combination of
push to talk and alternate action. If the
button is pressed and held, the talk-
back output channel will become active
until the button is released. If the button
is momentarily “tapped” the talkback
output channel will change state. Upon
power up the talkback output channel
will be in its muted state.
