Monitoring & Talkback

On the Monitoring page, you can configure the monitoring features of the SX2 and set up a simple talkback, for example between the control room and the studio.

SX2Config Software - Monitoring

Each row on this page is an output function and available as an audio signal source for any output from the Audio Sources window.

These output functions belong to the monitoring signals on this page:

name on Monitoring page	output function
MON1 SPK	MON1 SPK Vol L MON1 SPK Vol R
MON1 HP	MON1 HP Vol L MON1 HP Vol R
MON2 SPK	MON2 SPK Vol L MON2 SPK Vol R
MON2 HP	MON2 HP Vol L MON2 HP Vol R
MON3	MON3 TB Vol L MON3 TB Vol R
MON4	MON4 TB Vol L MON4 TB Vol R
TB SPK	TB SPK

For the monitoring signals 1 to 4, you can select the Monitor is Mono checkbox, if the monitoring signal is mono. The TB SPK signal is always mono.

For the monitoring signal 1 (Speaker and Headphone), you can decide what happens when a CUE signal (PFL) is available. If nothing is selected, no PFL signal will be available on this monitoring signal. Select the Cue Add checkbox to mix the CUE signal with the monitoring signal. Select the Cue Split check box to assign the CUE signal to the left channel and the monitoring signal to the right channel. The default value is set to -20 dB. You can also adjust the ratio between the PFL signal and the monitoring signal: In the Additional Options area, you can change the MON1 CUESPLIT Potentiometer Default Value to values between -101 dB and 0 dB.

To dim the volume (-20 dB) of the monitoring signals 1 or 2, you can assign a logic source. Click the button, next to the DIM Condition box. The Logic Sources window opens. Select a logic source from the list and click Assign.

Additionally, the monitor speakers can be dimmed if Talk 1 or Talk 2 become active to avoid noise. To do so, check Talk 1 to Bus active and/or Talk 2 to Bus active on the monitor speakers DIM Conditions section. For configuration of Talk 1 and Talk 2, see Buses.

To mute the MON1 signal, you can assign a logic source. Click the button, next to the MUTE Condition box. The Logic Sources window opens. Select a logic source from the list and click Assign.

On the Monitoring page a talkback area with talkback specific settings is available. For each monitoring signal, you can assign 2 talkback signals. These could be microphone inputs or other audio sources. You can switch on these talkback signals by a logic source.

In the Talkback 1/2 columns, in the Source boxes, you can insert an audio source which is activated by the logic sources inserted in the Condition boxes.
