Talk mic
The control surface has an internal talk mic that lets you talk to external
locations, and you can also be talked to from an external location.
For the input and output talk connections, see “talk section” in Appendix H.
Internal talk mic
This is located in the talk mic section, and contains the controls for both the
internal talk mic and external talkback functions, which control a talkback
microphone connected to the PRO X Control Centre. Both functions utilise the
compressor (limiter), which is in the microphone signal path immediately before
the talk level control.
The ouputs from the internal mic can be connected to the internal talk bus/talk
external XLR output (see Appendix B “Functional Block Diagrams”).

Item Element Description
1 TALK/[TLK] switch
This talk internal switch connects the talk mic output to the control centre’s internal talk system,
while simultaneously dimming all local outputs by 20 dB to prevent ‘howl round’. The internal talk
bus can then be mixed onto any of the control centre’s buses by pressing the internal talk switches
associated with those buses, or mixed onto a group of buses by activating an internal talk group
(see “Talk osc/ routing”).
2 TALK/[TLK] switch This talk external switch connects the talk mic output to the talk external output XLR.
3 level control knob Gives continuous adjustment to the post-limiter signal from o (4) to +10 dB.
4 limiter control knob Gives continuous adjustment of the peak limiter value from 0dB to +20 dB.
5 mic gain control knob
Provides continuous mic amplier gain adjustment of the mic connected to mix bay control surface.
Range is +15 dB to +60 dB and operates in conjunction with the peak limiter.
6 Talk patching sections. See Table 25 “Navigating to the Patching screen” in Appendix J.
1. The three control knobs are used in conjunction with mic XLRs (in the screen
housing and the rear connector panel) and the two TALK routing switches
(internal and external).
>> To select the internal talk mic
1. In the talk mic section of the master bay, press TALK (internal) to switch in
the talk mic section (see “Talk mic”).
2. In the source a or source b section of the master bay, press TALK.
Your chosen section will determine which system bus (A or B) the talk
mic will be sourced from (see “Monitor output (a and b) sections” and
“source (a and b) sections”).
External talkback
The external talkback input is a mic/line input at the stage end of the system
that, when enabled in the monitor section (see “Monitor output (a and b)
sections”), can mix onto the local monitor outputs
