“latched” on state when talkback began,

once talkback activity ends that state will

resume; the main output will again be in

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 one of the

on-air system modes, whenever talkback

1 is active the main output will be placed

in the muted state. If the Model 230 is set

to one of the production system modes

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

associated with the talkback 2 button.

The manner in which the button functions

depends on how it was conﬁgured. An

LED indicator, green in color, is located

directly above the button. It lights when-

ever talkback 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 talk-

back 2 button. If the Model 230 is selected

to one of the on-air system modes, when-

ever talkback 2 is active the main output

will be placed in the muted state. If the

Model 230 is set to one of the production

system modes the status of talkback 2 will

not impact the main output.
Talkback Output 2 Button Modes
