OVERVIEW
The Studio-Q is a clever box that is designed to provide a basic talkback system for those that have a recording studio but
may not have a large console with built-in talkback in the control room. It easily integrates with recording workstations by
connecting to an available mono or stereo output. Once connected it allows the engineer to speak on top of the program
material to the artist using either the internal mic or an external one. The mic may be turned on using the main switch or
activated remotely with a footswitch for hands-free operation. Once in use you will ask yourself how you ever managed
without it!
