Phone lines connection

Studio link using landline and Bluetooth mobile phone

When the unit broadcasts through Internet, landline (POTS) or mobile phone can be used as backup transmission method.
Or if transmission is done using a Bluetooth mobile phone, a landline can be used simultaneously as mobile backup transmission.

The configuration of the lines to operate as links is:

Line as link

It is also possible to use a phone line as main transmission channel.

• In PGM position, studio return is removed from CUE monitoring and added to program mix.
• The mic TALK is not sent to the studio.
• It is recommended to use the line in PGM position, to prevent the talkback microphone from accidentally going on air.
• If studio return monitoring is not needed: keep the PGM knob closed.
• To listen to return: open the PGM knob → studio signal is heard in all headphones monitoring PGM mix.
• Signal sending to the lines is in mix-minus mode: signal coming from studio is removed from the send, avoiding feedback.

Line as backup

While MX2200 broadcasts through Internet, landline or mobile phone can be used as backup method.

• When the line is in CUE position, studio return is sent only to headphone monitoring.

Once the call is established, studios always receive the PGM mix, regardless of whether the line is in CUE or PGM mode.

• If TALK is pressed on that line, the talkback microphone is sent to the studio through that line.
• This condition allows the MX2200 operator to talk privately with the Studio while the console broadcasts over Internet.
