It's perfect for mobile recording rigs, built from 14-gauge steel for rock-solid durability. Simply insert it in your artist's headphone monitoring chain, and you're ready to communicate via the built-in microphone, an external dynamic microphone (not included), or both at once β€” perfect for producer/engineer conversations with the artist. You can even connect a remote footswitch (sold separately) to engage the Radial Studio-Q to keep your hands free.Why get a dedicated talkback device? Even though some audio interfaces and most recording consoles offer talkback capabilities, recording engineers at Sweetwater see big benefits in a dedicated cue/talkback solution like the Radial Studio-Q desktop controller. For example, you can use the Review: Easy to set up (but it did lose a star ... - OK, so, I usually buy from Sweetwater, but was in a huge hurry,l so I got it overnighted from desertcart. This thing... oh how I wish I'd had it before! I'd wanted a way to talk to the guys in 'the other room' in my 'home studio' (a dedicated control room, and my living room, LOL). I really didn't want to use a channel of A/D-D/A conversion for a mic going into my DAW, let alone deal with latency. i wanted a simple, robust talkback solution. And that's what I go. Easy to set up (but it did lose a star on this, for reasons I'll explain below) and super-easy (i.e. no-brainer) to use, it made for the smoothest recording session I've had since I moved from a hardware mixer with a dedicated mic (back in the days of tape) to a DAW. The genius of this simple solution is that you patch it in between your DAW and your headphone distribution system - i.e. it takes place totally in the analog domain, 'after the fact' of the DAW. Basically: stereo inputs from the DAW output to the Studio-Q, then stereo outputs from it to the headphone amp. Then, using the built-in mic (you can also connect an external one), you can talk to your musicians, setting both the mic gain and the level of 'dimming' (i.e. ducking) of the program material when you're talking. You can also attach a footswitch, and a 'beacon' - a light that goes off in the studio when you're talking. I needed neither of these. So... why the 1/2 star demerit? Will, at over $200.00, this units misses the mark a bit on inputs and outputs. It has two 1/4" female input jacks, and two 1/4" female output jacks but.. my ART Head Amp headphone distro-amp takes a single 1/4 TRS input plug, and I usually feed it straight out of my Coleman Audio MP3H monitor control system's 1/4" TRS headphone output. So: I had to buy L/R breakout cables to take a single stereo 1/4" TRS jack and convert it to left and right TS mono 1/4" jacks - in both directions! Radial is a very hip company: they make really good tools that work really well, and this is no exception. But: they usually really know how people are going to use them, and in this case, for a device DESIGNED to work with DAWs, they should have anticipated that some of us would have 1/4" stereo inputs and outputs in our monitoring/headphone setups: it's not unusual by any stretch of the imagination. This seems like an oddly out-of-character oversight on their part. But I'll forgive 'em! because it still got the job done and really revolutionized my little studio! No more running out the door to talk to the guys, no yelling out cues either. Review: The ultimate dim/push to talk button. - This device is awesome. I use this for announcing sporting events. Push the button and music dims very well. Best thing I've bought for the PA booth! Rugged built and well worth the money! ## Features - Cue/Talkback Controller with Built-in Mic - Remote Footswitch Compatibility - External Mic Input ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01NBXG9AI | | Best Sellers Rank | #143,171 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #93 in Digital Audio Workstation Controllers | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (5) | | Date First Available | May 23, 2017 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2.12 pounds | | Item model number | R800 1435 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Operating System | Windows | | Product Dimensions | 11.8 x 4.95 x 2.85 inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Radial Engineering - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Item Weight:** 2.1 Pounds - **Number of Channels:** 1 ## Images ![Radial Studio-Q Desktop Cue Talkback Controller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CtwMPRXYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to set up (but it did lose a star ... *by S***E on April 10, 2018* OK, so, I usually buy from Sweetwater, but was in a huge hurry,l so I got it overnighted from Amazon.
