Chapter 5: Recording 117

where the input source is direct (such as DI’d keyboard) and

there are otherwise no open microphones in the studio. By

setting up a Listenback mic for the talent, the cue mix (AUX

L/R) can include a com line-style signal for song cues, head-

phone and beverage requests.

ProControl supports this feature using a dedicated Listen-

back input. The external Listenback input (with +15v mic

pre) is accessed using channel #1 on the Audio Input 1 con-

nector. The gain range of the mic pre is adequate for a lo-im-

pedance condenser or dynamic omni mic suitable for listen-

back purposes, and its +15v phantom power is safe for

condenser microphones. Because ProControl’s phantom

power is always on, ribbon microphones should not be con-

nected to the External Talkback or Listenback inputs.

Listenback Level

The level of the listenback input is controlled by the TALK-

BACK level control (it serves both the internal or external

source). A rear-panel trimpot controls initial gain (gain

range is 30 dB). Only one of the mics can be active a time

(internal or external).

Listenback/Talkback Linking

The Listenback signal is, by default, linked to Talkback

(on/off). Optionally, the Listenback signal can be left “al-

ways on” and not controlled by the Talkback switch. This

can be useful when, for example, a songwriter needs to call

out chords/cues to a musician or band while tracking.

Enabling Listenback

To enable/disable Listenback:

■ Press UTILITY > MONITOR > LISTENBACK, then select

the desired setting:

• ON: leaves the Listenback signal in “always-on” mode.

• OFF: shuts the Listenback signal off.

• TALKBACK: links Listenback to Talkback.
