How To Talk Back To A Remote/How To Program The TB Button
Wheatstone IP Audio Consoles have a TB button for talkback. How does it work?
1. Route the microphone you want to use to the Talkback Mic destination for the console. It will look like this:
You might be tempted to lock this destination so it doesn't get changed. But when you do that, it can take control of the logic (LIOs) of the microphone source and that would break tally lights and on air warning lights. If you want to lock the destination, create an alias of the microphone, route the alias to the Talkback Mic destination, and then lock the alias instead,
The prefix for the console sources and destinations will vary with the console model.
2. Route the bus minus for the fader your remote is routed to to the destination that feeds return audio to the field.
Example: the remote codec that you are using is routed to fader 5. Locate the source called BM05:
Route this source to the destination that feeds the codec. Now the remote will hear program minus fader 5, which means they will hear everything on the air but they won't hear themselves. We want this because otherwise the remote will hear themselves on delay in the return anywhere from a half second to a second late (depending upon your codec) and that will make it hard for them to talk.
3. When you press the TB button, you will interrupt the bus minus with the talkback mic and speak with your talent off air. (Put the fader in cue so you can hear them!) When you turn the TB button off, the bus minus feed will automatically return so the talent can hear what's on the air again.
