its on (“latched”) state. If the main output
mode is configured to force off, talkback
activity will cause the main output to be
placed in its off state. Once talkback activ-
ity ends the main output will remain in its
off (“unlatched”) state. In critical on-air
broadcast applications it’s important that
a Model 230 user be aware of how the
selected mode impacts operation.
Talkback 1 Button and LED Indicator
The button in the center, factory labeled
TALKBACK 1, controls the function associ-
ated with the talkback 1 button. The man-
ner in which the button functions depends
on the way it was configured. An LED
indicator, green in color, is located directly
above the button. It lights whenever talk-
back 1 is active. If the talkback 1 function
mode has been configured for disabled, it
will light only if the auxiliary relay has been
assigned to follow the talkback 1 button.
If the Model 230 is selected to the on-air
system mode, whenever talkback 1 is ac-
tive the main output will be placed in the
muted state. If the Model 230 is set to the
production mode the status of talkback 1
will not impact the main output.
Talkback 1 Button Modes
• Push to talk: If this mode is selected the
function associated with the talkback 1
button is normally off. The function 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 function
associated with the talkback 1 button
will become active until the button is
released. If the button is momentarily
“tapped” the function will change state.
Upon Model 230 power up talkback 1
will be in its off state.
Talkback 2 Button and LED Indicator
The button on the right, factory labeled
TALKBACK 2, controls the function as-
sociated with the talkback 2 button. The
manner in which the button functions de-
pends on how it was configured. An LED
indicator, green in color, is located directly
above the button. It lights whenever talk-
back 2 is active. If the talkback 2 function
mode has been configured for disabled,
it will light only if the auxiliary relay has
been assigned to follow the talkback 2
button. If the Model 230 is selected to the
on-air system mode, whenever talkback 2
is active the main output will be placed in
the muted state. If the Model 230 is set to
the production system mode the status of
talkback 2 will not impact the main output.
Talkback 2 Button Modes
• Push to talk: If this mode is selected the
function associated with the talkback 2
button is normally off. The function 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 function
associated with the talkback 2 button
will become active until the button is
released. If the button is momentarily
“tapped” the function will change state.
Upon Model 230 power up talkback 2
will be in its off state.
Headphone Output Level
Controls
Two rotary controls (“pots”) are located
on the Model 230’s front panel and are as-
sociated with the headphone output. The
way the controls function depends on the
selected configuration. One configuration
parameter sets the controls to operate in
a level/level or a level/balance mode.
