Talkover ducker with cue light. Used with paging mics with Push To Talk (PTT) switch and 5-pin DIN connector.
A remote commentator using a desk mic with a PTT switch causes a remote traffic light cue box to show "GO" and simultaneously "ducks" an audio signal on XLRs. Commentator's audio is transformer isolated and unaffected by the operation of the PTT switch.
Single channel ducking (can be used to fade out background music).
Uses a 12v PSU. Audio and cue lights use twin XLR cabling.
