An On Air presenter either in TV or Radio will often be required to take cue feeds from a
director or producer and simultaneously monitor the programme audio.
In this situation both the mono programme and mono talkback cue feeds are fed into the
HA1M, one source into the left input and the other into the right input. The presenters’ stereo
headphones are connected via the front panel headphone socket and the individual input
level controls allow the presenter to adjust the volume that he/ she monitors each of the 2
sources. In this case the presenter would monitor cue in one ear and programme in the other.
If the front panel mono switch was operated then the presenter would hear both cue and
programme in both ears.
An alternative but similar scenario would be if the presenter was using a mono earpiece
instead of stereo headphones. In this case the front panel mono switch would need to be on.
Because the HA1M has sophisticated headphone amplifier circuits it is quite safe to connect
the mono earpiece jack to either of the front panel headphone sockets on the HA1M.
In both of the above examples the line level mix output on the rear of the HA1M could be
used for feeding an auxiliary monitoring position in a control room.
