Operating (Continued)

Send Side (To Phone Line)

There are separate volume controls for the two microphone inputs
and the line input (T o Phone Line) jack. Y ou can use all three inputs
at the same time. Mic 1 also has a Mic/Line selector switch which
lowers the gain on the Mic 1 XLR jack by 30 dB to allow a balanced
line level input.

Receive Side (From Phone Line)

The receive side has separate controls for headphone output level
and mix audio output level. The Line Out control adjusts the signal
going out of the RCA and XLR jacks. The RCA jack contains a mix
of both sides of the telephone call, while the XLR is a clean mic mix.

Headphones

The built-in headphone amplifier is strong enough to power two
pair of headphones or a small desktop speaker. The left and right
channels contain the same mono signal, but are powered by
separate amplifier channels. These jacks will drive either two 1/4"
stereo plugs or two 1/4" mono plugs.

Talkback Feature

A built in speaker lets you monitor the phone line during call setup
and station breaks. The monitor speaker volume is controlled by
the headphone volume control and has an additional on / off switch.
An internal push-to-talk microphone also helps when setting up
your call. The speaker switches off when the microphone button is
pushed on to prevent feedback.

Ringer

RemoteMix 3.m has an internal ringer for incoming calls. This can be
turned off using the switch on the side of the unit.

Operating (Continued)

Handset Jack

The handset jack on the right side of RemoteMix 3.m allows you to
plug in a telephone handset and quickly set up a call before you set
up your microphones and headphones. The handset microphone
volume is adjusted using the Line In knob. The earpiece volume is
adjusted using the Headphone level knob. All telephone handsets
are different, so if yours is not compatible, try an AT&T, Sony, or
Radio Shack residential phone handset.

Keypad

The telephone keypad is for tone or pulse dialing. Y ou may use the
keypad at anytime during a call but keep in mind that both transmit
and receive audio are muted during a keypress.

Tone / Pulse Dialing

RemoteMix 3.m is equipped with a switch to select tone (DTMF)
dialing or pulse dialing. The switch is located underneath the
battery door. With the switch towards the volume control knobs,
the unit is in the “pulse” mode. When in “pulse” mode the “*” key will
set the unit to transmit digits as tones regardless of the switch
position. T o return to pulse dialing turn the keypad off and back on.

Keypad ON / OFF

This switch disables the DTMF keypad to prevent tones from being
blasted down the phone line during a broadcast.

Phone Line Switch

This switch acts as the switch-hook for the telephone line. The Hang
Up position is the normal on-hook position when you are not using

the line or you are waiting for a call. When you want to place a call,
or when a call comes in, switch to the Dial/Talk position. Keep this
switch in the Hang Up position if you are using the PBX Handset
Interface.
