6innkeeper 2/4™ Digital Hybrid
Setting Up
Although each application will require a slightly different setup, following is a
general cable conneciton setup and explanation.
1. Connect the supplied RJ-11 phone line cable(s) between the jack marked
<Line> and your wall jack(s). Be sure these jacks supports standard single
line analog telephone operation. The innkeeper 2/4 will not work with "dry
pair" phone line connections
2. Connect to your mixer using the Mix-Minus method. See Figure 7a.
A mix-minus signal is an audio signal that contains a mix of your local
microphones plus any other audio, minus the Caller’s own voice. Sending
the Caller’s audio back to the innkeeper 2/4 will cause an echo, or feedback.
1. Connect a line-level audio signal to the innkeeper 2/4 <Send> jack(s):
a. <Send> jack(s): Audio will only be sent down the
corresponding line.
b. <Master Send> jack: Audio will be sent down either or both phone
lines based upon your selections in the menu. Each caller output
jack will contain audio only from its corresponding phone line.
2. Connect the <Caller> jack to a line-level input(s) on your
mixing console. Local audio and audio from alternate phone lines will
not be present on these jacks. Innkeeper 2 has the ability to send
isolated caller audio, mixed caller audio, or mixed caller and local audio
from the Caller XLR depending on selections made in the Conferencing
menu.
For whichever input channel you have the <Caller> connected to on
the mixer, turn the corresponding <Aux> control to minimum. All other
<Aux> controls should be set for audio sent to the phone line. Each
<Aux Send> bus is completely separate from all other outputs, so
these Aux controls will not affect what is heard on the Main outputs or
on any other Aux buses. We recommend using an <Aux Send> bus
that is pre-fader, so you can use the fader controls to set the levels
of each channel to the main output without affecting what is sent to
the phone line. If your mixer does not have an <Aux Send> bus, you
can use <Pan> controls with the Left and Right outputs. Pan all the
microphones, etc. to the Left output and pan the Caller to the Right
output. Then connect only the <Left> output to the innkeeper 2/4
<Send>. Or, you may use an external Mix-Minus box that will create
this signal for you.
3. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the back of the innkeeper and then
to an AC power outlet.
Your innkeeper 2/4 is now ready to take calls. You may want to connect an
auxiliary telephone to the innkeeper <Aux> jack so you can dial out and set up
calls, or use the <Auto-Answer> feature to answer incoming calls.
