Fixed Level Function
The Mon Cal mode can be enabled by pressing the top left button on the CR Output panel so it lights. This turns off the CR Output
Control’s Monitor knob indicators, showing that the knob no longer functions as a control. The Monitor level is set to the Cal Level
discussed above and is displayed in dBSPL.
This value persists when rebooting the console and/or loading a new Title. Dim and Cut operate normally.
SLS/Cue Monitor Outputs
Mon A–D are usually used for SLS and Cue feeds. Each has its own level control and LCD that shows the source and level when
adjusted. The center knob switch turns the monitor on/off. These controls are shown on the left of “Monitor Controls and MonD
Source Panel” on page 41.
Communications
System 5’s communication system includes:
• Two talkback microphone inputs (one mic included)
Each input has 111 dB gain, phantom power, and compressor. They can be mounted anywhere, but normally, Tbk1 is mounted
near the engineer and Tbk2 near the client. Talkback can be routed to Mon A–D, the Aux busses, and the Mix sections (via the
Slate function). Tbk2 shares the same routing as Tbk1 when it is turned on. Talkback can be remotely triggered to Mon A–D.
• Four listenback mic inputs
Each input has phantom power and compressor. They can be routed to the monitors, and have individual level controls. They
are routed directly from the Monitor Interface (MC524) so they do not appear in PatchNet.
• Oscillator with Slate facilities
The oscillator has four fixed frequencies (100 Hz, 440 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz), and a user-selectable frequency. The oscillator can also
generate pink or white noise. The oscillator can be routed to the Group, Aux, or Mix busses, or to all busses simultaneously. The
Slate function combines Tbk1 and Tbk2 with the user definable tone to identify takes.
Pressing the Comms Ctrl key in the Solo Ctrl section displays the Comms:Talkback Panel (left of figure below).
The bottom of the Panel has Talk, Lsn, and OscSlt keys to display Talkback (shown), Listenback (page 46), and Oscillator/Slate Pan-
els (page 47), respectively.
Pressing the Aux key at bottom right displays the Comms:Talkback:Aux Panel (right of figure below), which sets the talkback set-
tings for the Aux busses. When displaying the Comms:Talkback:Aux Panel, this key changes to Mons, which switches back to the
Comms:Talkback Panel (left of figure below).
