• 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 will become active until
the button is released. If the button is
momentarily “tapped” the main output
will change state. Upon power up the
main output will be in its muted state.
Talkback Output Button Mode
Switch SW3-3 configures the way the talk-
back output button functions.
configuration the way the controls func-
tion. With just these three switches a wide
range of operating modes can be con-
figured. Carefully reviewing the capabili-
ties of the available functions may prove
worthwhile.
Dual-Channel or Stereo Mode
Switch SW3-4 is used to select whether
the controls provide a dual-channel (“lev-
el/level”) or stereo (“level/balance”) mode
of operation. In the level/level mode the
two controls operate independently, each
controlling the level of one of the head-
phone output channels. This mode is
generally used for on-air broadcast ap-
plications where independent cue signals
are provided to the left- and right-head-
phone channels. In the level/balance
mode the left rotary control sets the overall
output level for both headphone channels.
The right rotary control is used to adjust
the balance (the relative levels) of the left
and right channels. This mode is generally
best suited for applications where a stereo
cue source is being provided.

output will change state. Upon power up
the talkback output will be in its muted
state.
Headphone Output Operating Modes
The user is provided with two rotary level
controls (“pots”) that are associated with
the stereo headphone output. Switches
SW3-4, SW3-5, and SW3-6 are used to
Reverse Left/Right Mode
Switch SW3-5 is used to select whether
the rotary controls are in the normal or
reverse left/right mode of operation. When
selected to the normal mode, and level/
level mode is also selected, the left control
adjusts the level of headphone output’s
left channel. (This is the signal that
appears on the tip lead of the ¼-inch
