This is where the built-in talkback microphone is located. This is an omni-directional dynamic microphone, so it will pick up your voice from anywhere in front of the unit.

4. CONTROL ROOM LEVEL Control
Use this knob to adjust the signal level at the CR OUT [36] jacks on the rear panel. It adjusts the signal for both the left and right Control Room A/B outputs, ranging from off (�) to maximum gain (MAX).

1. TALKBACK LEVEL Control
Use this knob to adjust the level of the talkback signal. You should start with the TALKBACK LEVEL control turned down, and then slowly turn it up until you get confirmation from whoever is listening to the headphones that they can hear you. Once you have set the level, you can leave it there for the duration of the session. If you are using the talkback mic to slate takes in your DAW, use the meters in your DAW to adjust the TALKBACK LEVEL control.

Use this switch to select the signal source for the control room outputs. When the switch is up (DAW), the Core Audio/ASIO streams 1 and 2 from the DAW application are routed to the control room outputs. Use this to monitor tracks already recorded and to overdub additional tracks.

Press this button to route the talkback signal to both PHONES outputs on the pod. This is a momentary switch and is only active as long as you hold the button down. This allows you to talk to the talent without them having to remove their headphones.

When the switch is down (INPUTS), channels 1 and 2 from the Onyx Satellite are routed to the control room outputs. This allows you to listen to whatever is connected to the Onyx Satellite without having a computer connected. Maybe you have a CD player or iPod connected to the Onyx Satellite and you want to listen to it through your control room monitor speakers. Voila! This is particularly useful when you have a home studio setup that does double-duty as a home stereo system.
