Analogue OperationsCommunications Setup OptionsFurther Talkback, Listen and Red Light communication options are accessed via the TFT screen. The 16 boxes at the baseof the screen indicate the functions assigned to the 16 buttons in two rows of eight below the screen. Press the SSL button,followed by Misc > Setup and locate the following options in the list:Talkback switches are:Listen switch is:Red light switch is:TB switches disable Listen:TB to FB:Select the operation of the talkback buttons: Momentary / Latching / Auto(Play) / Auto (Record).Select the operation of the Listen buttons: Latching / Auto (Play) / Auto(Record).Select the operation of the Red Light switch: Manual / Auto (Play) / Auto(Record).This allows the Listen function to be switched off when talkback is activated,thus avoiding feedback problems.(Sums / Replaces) When assigning talkback to foldbacks, this option defineswhether talkback sums with or replaces the normal foldback signal.The ‘Auto’ modes inhibit the Talkback and/or Listen switches when the transport Play or Record tally is lit. Selecting redlight to one of ‘Auto’ modes makes it follow the Play or Record tally.OscillatorThe ‘oscillator’ is in fact a comprehensive tone and pink noise generator. It is located above the TFT screen, containscontrols for frequency, level and routing of tone or pink noise to the Mix, Record and Track bus outputs and to the monitoroutputs for use in monitor calibration.OSC ONPINK ONLEVELFREQactivates the oscillator output (surprise, surprise!). It’s good practice to turn theoscillator off when recording, to prevent any accidental routing to desk outputs.switches the output from tone to pink noise. Note that the pink noise level canonly be adjusted using the Pink ‘Cal’ preset.This pot adjusts the level of the tone generator from -25dBu to +20dBu. Whenfully anticlockwise, a preset ‘Cal’ level is selected which can be calibrated usingthe multi-turn presets located below the level control; a red LED lights to showwhen the level control is in the calibrated position.This rotary switch provides six preset frequencies.The oscillator may be routed to the TRACK busses, the MIX bus and the REC bus (individually or simultaneously) usingthe switches to the right of the LEVEL pot.. The oscillator output is also available on an XLR on the centre sectionconnector panel.Page 3-26AWS 924-948 Owner’s Manual
