The adjustable parameters for the TALKOVER function are:
o Activation (ON/OFF)
o MODE: DUCKER/PAGER (the latter only for Input 6). It has two operating modes:
o Priority (PRIO): HIGH/LOW. An input featuring a TALKOVER function will be able
to attenuate or mute the other inputs, with lower priority or without Talkover
function, that are routed to the destination zones defined in its setup. If several
inputs have the same priority level (several inputs with Talkover LOW or HIGH),
the first input whose Talkover is engaged on a destination zone (its signal
exceeding the detection threshold) disables the Talkover of the other inputs for the
same zone, until the end of operation of the first Talkover (when its signal drops
back below the activation threshold). Then the Talkover function is available again
to be activated by an input that exceeds the threshold
o Attenuated Outputs (DUCKED OUTS): outputs affected by the TALKOVER
function when this one operates in DUCKER mode. The symbol "o" under one of
the zones on the screen indicates that this zone will be affected by DUCKER
function
o Activation threshold (TLK THRESHD): trigger threshold of the Talkover function.
The signal of the relevant input activates the Talkover function when it exceeds
this threshold. This trigger level depends on the sensitivity setting for the input on
the rear panel, but it is independent of the INPUT VOLUME adjustment made on
the device (only available in DUCKER mode, since in PAGER mode the function is
activated by pressing the PAGE button on the MPAGE4 console)
o Attenuation (DEPTH): attenuation applied by the function, when triggered, on the
rest of the signals sent to the affected zone)
o Attack Time (ATTACK): the time it takes the Talkover function to act from the
moment the signal exceeds the trigger threshold
o Hold Time (HOLD): time during which the Talkover function remains active, once
triggered and once the signal falls back under the trigger threshold (only available
in mode DUCKER, since in PAGER mode the function remains active as long as
the PAGE button is pressed on the MPAGE4 console)
o Release Time (RELEASE): time that it takes the Talkover function to stop
performing, progressively recovering previous levels of input signals for the
affected zone, after the Hold time
o Chime melody or "ding-dong" + playback volume: brief melody that plays when the
Talkover function is activated, in PAGER mode only (two melodies are available)

 DUCKER: performing after a signal detection (when the signal exceeds the
detection threshold), it attenuates the signals that are assigned to the
affected outputs (DUCKED OUTS)
 PAGER (only Input 6): allows messages to be sent in real time from a
MPAGE4 desktop paging station with a microphone
