Duality SE Operator's Manual - Solid State Logic

Console OperationsCommunicationsA group of communications buttons (talkback etc.) are fitted below the centralrouting panel. A built-in talkback microphone and pots to set the level of tBto Foldback, talkback Out (an external talkback feed), slate level(talkback to Main Mix, Track bus and channel outputs) and an incoming Listenmic, are provided in the ‘Comms’ section above the DAW control TFT screen(see right).Note that a gain control for the talkback mic preamp is provided on theconnector panel adjacent to the external talkback output jack. If required, anexternal talkback mic may be connected to the console’s talkback distributioncircuitry via an XLR on the connector panel. When using this facility, turn theconsole mic preamp gain fully anticlockwise (off) if you no longer wish theinboard mic to contribute to the talkback system.Note also that, apart from slate, which cuts the monitors, all the followingfunctions dim the monitors. All the buttons, apart from lIsten and reDlIGHt, can be selected to be latching, momentary or to be inhibited in Playor Record – see opposite for details.slate — Interrupts the Main Mix and Track bus outputs with talkback.F/B a and F/B B — Adds (or optionally replaces) talkback to the associated foldback outputs after the level and cutcontrols.ext t/B — Sends talkback to an external feed, available via a 1/4" jack on the connector panel. Level is adjusted usingthe talkback Out pot (see above).tB all feeds talkback to the foldback sends and the external talkback output.lIsten — Injects an external mic signal (connected via an XLR on the centre section connector panel) onto the Mini Aloudspeaker set and dims the main loudspeakers. This button is latching (optionally inhibited in Play or Record); the levelis adjusted using the listen pot (see above). The mic is usually placed in the recording area. The circuitry features SSL’slegendary listen mic compressor, the sound of which is much loved by many experienced SSL users, so the connector panelprovides a post compressor output XLR — ‘Listen Mic Out’.reD lIGHt — this provides an isolated contact closure for hooking up to a studio red light via an external relay box.The talkback button functions are all duplicated on a Talkback/GPIO connector on the rear of the console, as arethe monitor CUT and DIM switches.
