This would allow both IFB channel 2 and
“spotter” audio to be heard in the head-
phone’s right-channel output. To achieve
this would require that switches SW2-1,
SW2-6, and SW2-7 be placed in their on
positions. Note that using another Model
210 at the “spotter” location could also
prove effective. It would provide all the
necessary microphone preamplifier, talk-
back routing, and headphone monitoring
resources.
Note that in some cases a user may
wish to wear a headset or a pair of head-
phones in a left/right orientation opposite
of what’s usual. In this situation the trans-
ducer designated for the left ear would
actually supply audio to the user’s right
ear, and vice versa. A specific application
when this occurs is where on-air talent
needs to have a headset’s boom micro-
phone come across the right side of their
face, rather than the more-typical left side.
In this case it’s important to select the
left- and right-channel headphone source
assignment accordingly. With the Model
210’s flexible source selection there’s no
reason why users, such as on-air talent,
shouldn’t have their cue sources assigned
correctly.
There may be cases where a monaural
“single-muff” headset or headphone will
be connected to the Model 210’s head-
phone output. In this case the desired
source(s) should be routed only to the left
channel. No sources should be assigned
to the right channel. This will eliminate the
short-circuit current that could occur when
a 2-conductor (monaural) plug is mated
with the Model 210’s 3-conductor (stereo)
headphone output jack.
Headphone Output Mode
Switch SW1-6 allows a monaural head-
phone output to be created. This is
accomplished by summing (adding) the
selected left- and right-channel cue sig-
nals. The combined signals are sent to
both the left- and right-channel headphone
output driver circuits. The outputs of these
circuits connect, by way of 51 ohm series
protection resistors, to the headphone
output jack.
