The -Mon will switch the source of the rear surround speakers when 5.1 is selected. The TMC-1
provides a level trim for the Left and Right surround when monitoring 5.1 to allow for the
extra speakers.
5.1
You can set a trim to reduce the surround gain when the Rear Speakers are added to the
surround.
You can assign a GPO to be active when 5.1 is selected and use this to drive a relay to
switch the rear speakers to the side.

The TMC-1 provides a analogue Talkback Microphone with preamp and Headphone
connection which are connected to the HD15 connector.
Internal Talkback Microphone
An electret microphone and amplifier is provided in the TMC-1, normally connected to the
internal microphone. A 3.5mm Jack on the rear is provided to that a suitable external
“Laptop Microphone” may be used. The microphone output is on the HP15 pin "Xmon"
connector and may be configured with a balanced or unbalanced output.
When using the TMC-1 microphone with the switches on the TMC-1 the mechanical coupling
causes a click on turn off. There are a number of solutions to this
1) Use an external switch connected to the GP O input on the TMC-1
2) Connect an external Mic to the 3.5mm jack on the rear of the TMC-1 or directly to the -
Mon
3) Use the Auto-mute commands to disable the Talkback on entering Play and/or Record.
