If the Model 230’s system mode is config-
ured to either production 1 or 2 the red LED
will never light. This is to reflect the fact that
the main output button has now taken on a
function similar to that of one of the talkback
buttons. To clarify, when the system mode
is set to either production 1 or production 2
the red LED will never light. In production 1
the green LED will light whenever the line-
level talkback output is active. (The main
output is serving as a “hot microphone
output.”) In production 2 the green LED will
light whenever the main output is active.
Main Output Button Modes
If the Model 230 is set for either of the
on-air system modes or production 2:
• Push to mute: If this mode is selected the
main output is normally active. The main
output will mute whenever the button is
pressed and held.
• Push to talk: If this mode is selected the
main output is normally muted. The main
output will become active whenever the
button is pressed and held.
• Alternate action: If this mode is selected
the main output will alternate between
its active and muted states whenever the
button is pressed. Upon power up the
main output will be in its muted state.
• Hybrid: This mode is a combination of
push to talk and alternate action. It is simi-
lar to the way that talk buttons function
on user stations associated with broad-
cast or 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 Model 230 power up the
main output will be in its muted state.
If the system mode is set for production 1:
• Push to mute: If this mode is selected
the line-level talkback output is normally
active. The line-level talkback output will
mute whenever the button is pressed
and held.
• Push to talk: If this mode is selected the
line-level talkback output is normally
muted. The line-level talkback output
will become active whenever the button
is pressed and held.
• Alternate action: If this mode is selected
the line-level talkback output will al-
ternate between its active and muted
states whenever the button is pressed.
Upon power up the line-level talkback
output will be in its muted state.
• Hybrid: This mode is a combination of
push to talk and alternate action. It is
similar to the way that talk buttons func-
tion on user stations associated with
broadcast or production intercom
systems. If the button is pressed and
held, the line-level talkback output
will become active until the button is
released. If the button is momentarily
“tapped” the line-level talkback out-
put will change state. Upon Model 230
power up the line-level talkback output
will be in its muted state.
Main Output vis-à-vis Talkback Activity
This short section applies only in the case
where the Model 230 is configured for
either of the on-air system modes and the
main output button mode is set to alter-
nate action or hybrid.
How the main output responds to talk-
back activity depends on the configu-
ration of the main output mode. In the
normal mode talkback activity will always
cause the main output to be placed in
its off state. If the main output was in the
