phone level adjustment available on

Refer to the Configuration section for an
understanding of how to use the Configure
button.
Talent Amplifiers
Warning: Protect your ears! The
StudioComm talent amplifiers are
capable of driving headphones to
extremely high sound pressure levels.
Hearing experts advise against continu-
ous extended play, especially at high
levels.
Model 35 Talent Amplifier
The power present LED should be lit
whenever the Model 35 is connected to
an operating Model 50. The Model 35 has
a Level control and a Stereo/Mono button.
You can plug in one or two pairs of head-
phones with a total impedance of 75 ohms
or greater. Turn the knob to the output
level you want and select stereo or mono
by pressing the button. Both headphone
outputs are controlled by the one level
control. The Mono button sends L+R to
both the left and right output.
Model 38 Talent Amplifier
The Model 38 has the unique ability to
provide a personalized headphone mix for
the in-studio talent. The performer’s audio
can be connected to the talent inputs and
passively looped through to the control
that only one communications function can
be active at
a time. Pressing multiple buttons at once
will not activate multiple functions.
When you press these buttons, various
things happen depending on the Model
51’s configuration. For example, pressing
the slate button may also generate a 50Hz
tone on the dub output. Any of these but-
tons may be configured to stay on (latch)
when you press them. Also, if the head-
phones are configured to receive slate
audio, the headphone LED will light when
you press slate. The communications level
to the headphones will be determined by
the slate level setting (not the talk to
phones level).
The talk to phones function is configured
to interrupt or to add to the selected head-
phone source. If interrupt is selected,
activating talk to phones disconnects the
selected headphone source and connects
communications audio. If add is selected,
activating talk to phones leaves the head-
phone source connected and adds (sums
or mixes) the communications audio.
You can independently set the output level
for the three communications functions.
To set the communications levels, press
and hold any one of the three buttons and
press the Communications Level buttons.
(If the talk to studio, talk to phones, or slate
buttons are set to latch, you won’t have to
hold them.) The LEDs above the buttons
will flash each time the level is increased or
decreased until you reach
the top or bottom of the range. At this
point, if you continue to press the Level
button, the LED won’t flash, indicating
you’re at the top or bottom of the eight-
step level range. Note that the 50Hz tone
will always be 10dB below the slate level.
