MODEL 206
ANNOUNCER’S CONSOLE
main output channel and the microphone
output connector will become active and
remain active until the pushbutton is
released. If the main pushbutton is mo-
mentarily “tapped” the audio signal will
change state. Upon Model 206 power up
the audio signal will be in its muted state.
• Push to Mute/Tap to Latch: This mode is
a combination of the Push to Mute and
Latching modes. Whenever the main
button is momentarily “tapped” its status
will alternate between active and muted.
When the main button’s function is ac-
tive and the main button is pressed and
held the audio signal will mute on both
the Dante main output channel and the
microphone output connector. It will stay
in this condition until the main button is
released. Upon Model 206 power up the
main button will be in its muted state and
its red LED will be lit.
Talkback Button Modes
Depending on the selected configuration,
the talkback pushbuttons will function in
one of three possible modes:
• Push to Talk: If this mode is selected the
audio signal associated with a Dante talk-
back output channel is normally muted.
The audio signal will become active
whenever its associated talkback push-
button is pressed and held.
• Latching: If this mode is selected the
audio signal associated with a Dante
talkback output channel will alternate
between its active and muted states
whenever its associated talkback push-
button is pressed. Upon Model 206 power
up the Dante talkback output channels
will be in their muted state.
• Push to Talk/Tap to Latch: This mode is
a combination of the Push to Talk and
Latching actions. If a talkback pushbutton
is pressed and held the audio signal as-
sociated with its associated Dante talk-
back output channel will become active
until the pushbutton is released. If a talk-
back pushbutton is momentarily “tapped”
the audio signal on its associated Dante
talkback output channel will change state.
Upon Model 206 power up the audio sig-
nals on the Dante talkback output chan-
nels will be in their muted state.
Remote Control Inputs
The Model 206 allows two switches or con-
tact closures to be connected to the remote
control inputs. Whether or not they are
utilized will depend on the selected applica-
tion. If signals are connected to either or
both of the remote control inputs how they
function will depend on the configuration
settings. The configuration selections are
performed using STcontroller with the de-
fault setting for both remote control inputs
being off. The remote control inputs can
be individually configured to duplicate the
action of one of the pushbutton switches
with choices of main, talkback 1, talkback 2,
or talkback 3. When a remote control input
is enabled it will cause an action identical
to that caused by pressing or tapping the
related pushbutton switch. For example, if
remote control input 1 is assigned to the
main pushbutton function and that pushbut-
ton is configured for latching mode, remote
control input 1 will also function in a latching
manner.
System Operating Mode
The system operating mode configuration
is used to select the overall operating mode
of the Model 206. Specifically, the system
operating mode determines how the main
function will operate vis-à-vis the talkback
functions. In addition, the system operating
