Jay Rose Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 We had a great solution, back when I was doing on-air engineering at a radio station. The RCA console had a hinged front panel. You could reach in to make temporary wiring and assignment changes via a pinboard and tiny patchcords. One day, a few minutes before the major evening newscast, I reached in and assigned the talent's mic jack to be an intercom output. Then I pressed down the talkback, and the talent's mic started whispering back to him: "Hey turkey! Don't embarrass me with mispronunciations this time!" and "Ewww... you had garlic for lunch!". Patched things back to normal while the news open was playing, and then, straight-faced, thew the talent a cue to start talking. Caveats: 1) Analog days with understandable front-panel wiring 2) Dynamic mic 3) Wiseass engineer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
