External cue to headphones
Hi!
I'm brand new at mixing on a Avid Venue, I'm trying to accomplish a trick I do on a Yamaha PM1D, when mixing monitors I'm patching a external cue into a 2 track In ( dry ClearCom, output of RTS Intercom...etc ) and I assign this input to my control room so every time someone reach to me on the intercom I can hear them what ever I'm doing, listening to a channel in PFL or mixing a full mix. I've went trough the Avid Venue and I can't find a way to do it, any clue? The 2 track In can only put trough physical faders or output, there is no option I can send it to the Control Room, in my case headphones or IEM. If you have any clue, get back to me. Pascal |

Re: External cue to headphones
Connect an AES jumper cable from the output of 2track AES back to its own input. Then patch your monitor output to AES 2trk, then create a stereo input channel called CUE to the AES in. Route this channel (only) to the L/R bus. At this point your solo bus level control is on the master fader. Now patch a stereo matrix to the physical outputs that you are listening to. In the matrix mixer, put LR bus at unity. Now your solo is driving out the matrix. Finally, use the user assign channels within the matrix page to add any "always on" channels you require (radio, talkback etc).
The LR fader will control solo bus levels before the user channels are added so they will never drop out, plus if someone is talking to you, you can drop the fader and hear them more clearly. |

Also that won't work for the headphone out, no ideas there except an external headphone amp.

Com Mic, Gain Control, and Phantom Power The Com Mic connector and controls allow connection of a mic, or a line level source. The Com Mic input is a female XLR/TRS connector that accepts XLR or TRS jacks. The Gain control operates in steps of 3 dB. Phantom power may be applied to the Com mic with the Mic Power switch. Do not connect an intercom system directly to the Com input, as some intercom systems use a signalling voltage which can damage the FOH IO card. |

Re: External cue to headphones
Com might work if you routed it using "route to selected", as that routing bypasses just about everything

Re: External cue to headphones
Doesn't COM get automatically routed to the monitor bus?

Re: External cue to headphones
It does not. I typically use it for my talkback and it works like any channel, except you can also route it with RTS

Using the Intercom (“Com”) The Intercom (“Com”) input on the Mix Rack or FOH Rack can accept input from any compatible dynamic or condenser microphone. When activated, the Intercom signal is mixed into the Monitor bus after the source selectors in the Solo/PFL selection, so is audible no matter what source (AFL/PFL, 2-Track, or Main Mix) is sent to the Monitor bus. The Intercom signal can also be routed to any input or FX return channel. |

Interesting. It definitely doesn't do that by default, but it sounds like there is a way. I personally still prefer the user channel method as I usually need multiple "always on" channels, but I'll have to try that out

Re: External cue to headphones
press the Listen/Freq encoder in the Profile Talkback/Osc section so the teardrop LED at the bottom of the encoder LED ring is lit to activate listenback (and inject the COMM signal)
Make sure to turn it off when you're not using it, especially if the COMM input is disconnected as this will allow unterminated noise to pass into the headphone.. (why are my auxes so noisy when cue'ing )
