Talkback Dim Function
When Talkback is engaged, the Dim function (as set by the
Dim Level control in the Control Room Output section) is au-
tomatically applied to the Main outputs. Any adjustment of
the Dim Level control affects both the Talkback Dim function
and the Control Room Output Dim function. When Talkback
is engaged, the Dim switch in the Monitor Output Mode sec-
tion lights.
Auto Talkback Switch
The Auto Talkback switch activates a mode in which the talk-
back and listen microphones are automatically turned on
whenever the Pro Tools transport is not in Play or Record.
When Auto Talkback is active, the Auto Talkback switch
lights, and the Talkback switches flash.
While in Auto Talkback mode, you can temporarily disable
and re-enable talkback, while staying in Auto Talkback mode.
To temporarily disable Talkback while in Auto Talkback mode:
 Press either of the flashing Talkback switches.
To re-enable talkback while in Auto Talkback mode:
 Double-press either Talkback switch so it flashes again.
Talkback Switch
Two Talkback switches, located at the bottom of each Chan-
nel Strip Master section on the Main Unit, provide control of
the D-Control Talkback function.
The Talkback switches can follow momentary or latched be-
havior. If held, the switch is active only when pressed down.
If rapidly double-pressed, the switch latches on and flashes to
indicate that talkback is active. Press the switch again to turn
off talkback.
Listen Controls
The Listen system has two selectable microphone inputs, with
a shared touch-sensitive rotary encoder for level control.
Listen Mic Level Control
The Listen Mic Level control adjusts the volume for the se-
lected listen microphone input, Mic 1 or Mic 2. When this en-
coder knob is touched, the monitor section display shows the
input name “Lstn 1” or “Lstn2” and the level in dB. When
both inputs are active, the monitor section display shows both
input names and levels.
When one input is active, the encoder controls the level of
that input independently. When both inputs are active, the
encoder controls both levels simultaneously, maintaining any
relative offset between the two.
Level control ranges from a minimum level of –INF to a max-
imum level of +30 dB.
Listen Mic Select Switches
There are two Listen Mic Select switches for the external listen
microphone inputs:
•Mic 1
•Mic 2
Either or both of these inputs can be active at any time. If nei-
ther input is active, the Listen Mic Level control can still be ad-
justed, to prepare for the next time an input is activated.
