Installation manual

To adjust the stage announce and program levels, use the following steps:

1 Press the Announce button and adjust the program audio power amplifier for the correct level

from the speakers connected to it. The Stage Announce output will provide a 0 dBv signal to

the stage announce amplifier.

2 With the Announce button released, adjust the Mixing Console so that the Program level is cor-

rect as heard through the speakers connected to the stage announce amplifier. The output

from the Mixing Console will likely be 0 dBv or less.

3 If the Program Audio is to be heard on the intercom channels, adjust the Program Level con-

trols for the channels accordingly. Refer to the MS-232, MS-440, RM-440, or SB-440 Station

manual to locate these controls.

4 If the Stage Manager is to hear the Program Audio, adjust the Program Level control on the

MS-232, MS-440, RM-440, or SB-440 Station. If or whenever the Stage Manager does not

need to monitor this, the Program Level control can be turned fully counter-clockwise.

If the program audio on the intercom channel(s) is to be interrupted when the Stage Manager presses

the Talk button, then the On-Off-Interrupt switch for that channel should be set to the INTERRUPT po-

sition. If stage microphone audio should be heard on a channel at all times, its On-Off-Interrupt switch

should be set to the ON position. If it is not desirable to have audio from the stage microphones on an

intercom channel, its On-Off-Interrupt switch should be set to the OFF position.

Because of the multiple-channel capability, the Stage Manager can communicate individually to three

separate areas: Props and Scenery, Sound and Lighting, and Costuming, Makeup, and Talent. This

eliminates confusion and miscommunication. If desired, the Stage Manager can turn on the Party Line

Link (A+B) switch on the Main Station during rehearsals to combine the communication between the

Props and Scenery channel and the Sound and Lighting channel.

The drawback of the Program Audio to Stage Announce option is that the people in the Green Room,

Hallways, and Dressing rooms cannot communicate back to the Stage Manager. This may not be

drawback in all cases. The benefit of this option is that it adds an additional channel of communication

from the Stage Manager.
