R-60 FAQ
|
| Question |
Answer |
|
| Cue
audio failed.
Is there a most
likely suspect component? |
U13 (on most revisions of the CR-60
module). This component failure is
often a result of hot plugging or unplugging the CR-60 module. |
|
| Can
the SP-60
module be made to allow
for multiple bus selection like the IN-60 modules can? |
Yes, contact our parts department to
order the JAGX chip, which defeats the electronic interlock of the
buses
on the SP-60 module. |
|
| I
have one SP-60
module. Can I add
another SP-60 to handle a second caller? |
No. The bus structure of the console
does not lend itself well to
installing two SP-60 modules. If you need to handle additional callers,
please see our white paper
Making
The Connection (pdf).
|
|
| I
have crosstalk
and/or distortion
issues involving only the left side of some channels.
What’s causing this? |
The R-60 console employs a
non-summing talkback bus, fed by the left
side pre-fade audio of any input that is configured to feed the bus.
Since the talkback bus is non-summing, feeding it from multiple inputs
causes crosstalk and/or distortion on all inputs so assigned. You must
choose only one input to feed the talkback bus. This is accomplished
with position 7 of the module’s seven position dipswitch. |
|
| How
do I increase
the number of mic
channels? |
The R-60 console has an internal
two-channel DMP-60 mic preamp card.
Mics are connected by wiring the mic to one of the DMP-60 inputs and
wiring the corresponding DMP-60 output to an IN-60. A second DMP-60 can
be added to allow the use of up to four mics. If additional mics are
needed beyond four, external mic preamps must be used. |
|
| How
do I set up
talkback from the
control room to the studio? |
Any single R-60 input can be set up
to feed the internal talkback bus
by turning the channel’s TB TO STUDIO dipswitch on.
The audio on this bus interrupts
the studio output when the
studio TB button on the console is pressed. Dipswitches are located on
the individual IN-60 module circuit
boards - position 7 is TB TO STUDIO. Please note, only one
channel in the console may be assigned to the talkback bus. |
|
| How
do I set up
talkback from the
studio to the control room? |
Any R-60 input is put into CUE when
an external user-supplied switch,
connected to pins 9 and 12 of that channel’s logic connector,
is
pressed. The operator can then hear that channel’s audio over
the
console CUE system. |
|
| How
do I talk with the caller off line? |
Any
single R-60 input can be set up to feed the internal talkback bus
by turning the channel’s
TB TO STUDIO dipswitch on. The audio on this bus interrupts the caller
feed when the
caller COM button on the console is pressed. Dipswitches are located on
the individual IN-60 module circuit
boards - position 7 is TB TO STUDIO. Please note, only one
channel in the console may be assigned to the talkback bus. |
