828es Foot Switch / Talkback?

Post by NeveSSL »

Hi everyone,

How do I setup the foot switch to control the talkback mic? And does it have to be the built in talkback?

I've got Mic Line In 2 setup as my talkback and also selected as my talkback mic. The foot switch is set to Talkback, but nothing happens.

Thank you,

Brandon

I have an 828ES but use the footswitch for punch in/out in DP. I use my monitor controller (Audient Nero) with a connected Mic for talkback.

Simplest solution is use an SM58S mic with on/off switch, but that doesn't get you hands-free. Hope you can get it sorted; reach out to MOTU directly if no one here can help.
