MIXER APPLICATIONS
MIXER APPLICATIONS
Telephone hybrid
Use a telephone hybrid to open the show up to interaction with the outside world. A
hybrid allows you to receive phone calls and send them to your mixer as audio. Connect
the hybrids audio output to the mixers telco channel (channel 5) and connect the channel’s
clean feed output to the line input on the hybrid. The mixer has been designed to work with
the SONIFEX HY-03.
On-Air Light
The On-Air light, also known as Mic Live,
is used to indicate to everyone inside or
outside of the Control Room and/or Studio
that microphones are live and on-air. A set of
latching relay contacts, activated by a control
room mute, are available on the Talkback 9
way D type socket on the rear panel of the
mixer for the Control Room On-Air light.
See the pin-outs of the talkback interface
for details. Shown below is an example of
connecting the latching relay contacts on
the talkback interface to a SONIFEX RB-LC3.
The remote connection on the RB-LC3 is
active low.
Mic Cue Light
The mic cue light is used to indicate to a guest, etc, situated in a talks studio, that they
should speak. The cue light is usually green, and there is usually one per microphone. This
should not be confused with a mic live light, which is red and there is one per studio or
control room, also known as “On Air light” (see above).
Open collector outputs for each channel are provided on the Remote Connectors. See the
remote connectors section for details
NOTE: It is vital that mains voltages are NOT connected to any of the connectors on the
mixer. If your On-Air light is to be mains operated then you should use a suitable opto-
isolated solid-state mains relay. The SONIFEX RB-LC3 Light/Power controller is a suitable unit
that will control up to three On-Air lights and/or Mic cue lights.
Voice Processors On Mic Channels
To use an outboard eects unit with a microphone, for example, a voice processor an
auxiliary bus could be used and returned through a spare input channel.
