Introduction
What This User Guide Covers
This User Guide is designed to assist you
when installing, configuring, and using
Model 240 Producer’s Consoles with
serial numbers of 00151 and later. Addi-
tional background technical information is
also provided. A product block diagram is
included at the end of this guide.
System Overview
The Model 240 Producer’s Console is
designed for producers, directors, or those
who need to efficiently communicate with
on-air broadcast personnel and related
production crew. The unit provides the
resources of a 4-channel talent cueing
(“IFB”) central controller combined with
a 2-channel party-line (PL) intercom user
station. Incorporating numerous configu-
rable features and extensive upgrade flex-
ibility, the Model 240 can meet the exacting
demands of this important and highly
specialized field. Compatible with broad-
cast and production audio and intercom
system environments, the tabletop unit is
well suited for applications including sports
and entertainment television programming,
radio and TV news, and corporate events.
While the Model 240 is sophisticated on
the inside, users are presented with a
simple-to-use, great sounding “tool” to
help them do their job better.
Four pushbutton switches control the rout-
ing of microphone audio to the four main
outputs and, if selected, the 2-channel PL
intercom interface. Each button can be
configured for push-to-talk or alternate-
action operation. A status LED is located
above each button and provides a clear
indication of talk status. Two line inputs
allow a variety of audio sources to be
connected. They can be used as program
audio for the four main outputs or routed
to the 2-channel headphone output.
