TELIKOU IFB-04M/PTM-404 IFB system
Thank you for choosing TELIKOU intercom products. During the production of a program for transmission or recording, a director or producer frequently needs to cue the performing talent. This is done using Interrupt FoldBack (IFB), a type of simplex intercom for sending program and interrupt (microphone / cue) audio on “IFB” lines for the talent to monitor.
TELIKOU IFB equipment includes PTM-404, IFB-04M, IFB-08M and BT-01. IFB-04M and IFB-08M have built-in power supply. IFB-04M equals the combination of MA-704 and PS-702. IFB-08M equals the combination of Clear-com MA-704, AX-704 and PS-702. PTM-404 and BT-01 are equal to PIC-4744 and TR-50.
PTM-404 provides 4 program inputs and 4 outputs to talent receivers. A PTM-404 unit is required for every four talent positions.
Press the IFB button on the IFB-04M / IFB-08M corresponding to the talent positions you with to cue, then speak into the microphone. Or press the “ALL” button and you simultaneously activate every IFB line. The corresponding talent can hear the microphone / cue signal and program feed on that IFB line.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Refer to Figure 3. When more than two IFB-04M are working together and there is only one goose-neck microphone. The interrupt (cue) audio and the ALL control signal must be bused for each IFB-04M. A two-conductor shielded mic cable with 6.35mm TRS plugs at each end is required.
The IFB-04M with goose-neck microphone is called master. The others are called slave, which is like AX-704. TRS cable connects master’s Exten. But Output and slaves’ External Line Input.
In Figure 4 IFB-08M is master.
