The Mic Tally Gadget can control four mic arm tallies at once. Each position has its own logic connector so you can use your console logic to turn on the lights. Each tally can be red or white. Some engineers will use one color to signify on-air and another color for ready, talk signaling, or some other bright idea. Front panel switches can be used to manually control the tally lights. The 5-pin XLR connectors carry the microphone audio and the signal voltage for the tally light. The microphone signals are passed through to your preamps via RJ45 connectors in the StudioHub+ format. If you’re using an Axia xNode or a Wheatstone blade, a shielded CAT-5 patch cable is all you need for the preamp connection.
