Music Muting (9)
There are two SoftMute™ muting circuits. The front panel
"Mute" button has four modes, and controls the Mute func-
tion for music 1. Music 2 muting is controlled by an exter-
nal switch, and has two modes.
The SoftMute™ circuit will cut the music out whenever
there is conversation on the radio, the intercom, or both,
depending on the “Mute” mode selected. When that conversation stops, the
music returns to the previous level comfortably, over a second or so.
The mute mode functions are controlled through sequential pushes of the
Mute button, and include LED indication of the mode selected.
MUTE ON: Music will mute with either intercom or radio – MUTE ON
button is lit.
RADIO MUTE: Intercom will not mute music, radio will mute music. RAD
LED indicator is on
INTERCOM MUTE: Radio will not mute music, intercom will mute music
- MUTE ICS LED is ON.
MUTE OFF: “Karaoke” mode - music will not mute except during outgoing
transmissions.- All Indicators off.
Music 2 Mute Control
The passengers’ intercom also has a SoftMute™ circuit. If the passengers
hear the radio, or talk on the intercom, the music will mute. If the audio
panel is in CREW mode, then the radio reception will not affect the passen-
ger music.
Passengers also have a Karaoke Mode. When the passengers are listening to
the music 2 input, their Karaoke Mode is activated by an external switch.
