Reference Manual

Talkback and Oscillator

Talkback is a function that sends the signal of the selected INPUT jack to the desired bus. This

is used mainly to convey instructions from the operator or sound engineer to the performers

and staff.

QL series consoles also feature an oscillator that can output a sine wave or pink noise to the

desired bus, so that you will be able to check external equipment or to test the acoustical

response of the room or hall.

The diagram below shows the signal flow of the talkback and oscillator signals.

Using Talkback

The Talkback function sends the signal (that is input at the input jacks) to the desired bus.

NOTE

•

The PAD will be switched on or off internally when the HA gain is adjusted between +17 dB and

+18 dB.

•

Keep in mind that noise may be generated when using phantom power if there is a difference

between the Hot and Cold output impedance of an external device connected to the INPUT jack.

•

You can also assign talkback on/off or an ASSIGN change to a USER DEFINED key. In this case,

you can select either a Latch operation or an Unlatch operation (the function will be enabled only

while you continue holding down the key) (

page 169

•

When talkback is on, you can use the talkback dimmer to lower the monitor levels other than the

talkback signal (
