POWER LED This green LED will turn on when the mixer is turned on, as a reminder of how on it really is. If it is not on, then it is off, and the mixer becomes a rather nice weight for keeping your morning newspaper from blowing away in the wind. If it does not turn on, make sure the power cord is correctly inserted at both ends, the local AC mains supply is active, and the power switch [2] is on. Talkback The talkback feature allows the engineer to communicate with the talent either through the phones outputs [17] or the aux 1-2 send outputs [6] using the built-in talkback microphone. This saves a lot of shouting over the audience's heads as you set up the talented one's stage monitors to their peculiarly-picky satisfaction. 47. TALKBACK MIC This is where the built-in talkback microphone is located. It is an omni-directional dynamic microphone, and it will pick up your voice from anywhere in front of the mixer. 48. TALKBACK LEVEL Use this knob to control the level of the talkback signal being routed to the phones or aux 1-2 outputs, from the internal microphone. 1. Start with this control turned down. 2. Select the destination, either headphones and/or aux 1-2, and make sure their levels are already set nicely, such as phones [39] or aux sends [42]. 3. Hold down the talkback switch [50] as you make your fruity-toned announcements. 4. Slowly turn this talkback level control up until you get confirmation from whoever is listening to headphones or monitors that they can hear and obey your every command. Once you have set the level, you can leave it there for the duration of the session or gig. 49. DESTINATION: PHONES, AUX 1-2 Push in the phones switch to route the talkback signal to the headphones. Use this to communicate with the talent in the studio through the headphones during a recording session. When the talkback circuit is activated by pushing the talkback [50] switch, the control room outputs [12] are attenuated to allow your voice to come through clearly. Owner's Manual 25
