Switch SW3-7 and SW3-8 configure the

operating mode of the auxiliary relay.

the way the controls function. With just

these three switches a wide range of oper-

ating modes can be configured. Carefully

reviewing the capabilities of the available

functions may prove worthwhile.
Dual-Channel or Stereo Mode
Switch SW4-1 is used to select whether

the controls provide a dual-channel

(“level/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

headphone output channels. This mode

is generally used for on-air broadcast

applications where independent cue

signals are provided to the left- and right-

headphone 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.

Reverse Left/Right Mode
Switch SW4-2 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 3-conductor jack.) The

right control adjusts the level of the right

channel. When selected to the normal

Four modes are available:
• Relay disabled: In this mode the relay is

disabled and will never change state.

• Follows main output status: In this mode

the relay will follow the status of the

main output. Specifically, the relay will

change state (energize) whenever the

main output is active.

• Follows talkback output 1 button sta-

tus: In this mode the relay will follow

the status of the button associated with

talkback output 1. Specifically, the relay

will change state (energize) whenever

the button is active.

• Follows talkback output 2 button sta-

tus: In this mode the relay will follow

the status of the button associated with

talkback output 2. Specifically, the relay

will change (energize) state whenever

the button is active.
