control room outputs are muted. Pressing the 
Listenback switch again toggles the Listenback 
circuit off, and the control room outputs are re-
activated.

Using Talkback and Listenback

A built-in Talkback microphone is mounted 
into the Control|24 surface, and connectors for 
external Talkback and Listenback microphones 
are provided on the back panel. The talkback 
and listenback channels are both adjustable 
from dedicated controls.

Located at the bottom of the Communica-
tions/Headphone section is a shock-mounted 
microphone labeled TALKBACK MIC, with an 
adjustable MIC LEVEL control. 

External Talkback Input

For higher-fidelity or remote Talkback, an exter-
nal XLR Talkback input is provided on the Con-
trol|24 back panel. This is provided as an alter-
native to the built-in Talkback microphone 
mounted in the Control|24 surface. Both Talk-
back options are controlled by the MIC LEVEL 
knob.

Remote Footswitch Control of Talkback

Either footswitch circuit can be configured for 
remote Talkback control via infra-red or other 
control as a hands-free alternative to the TALK-
BACK switch.

See Appendix B, “Utility Functions” for instruc-
tions to set up talkback control by footswitch.
