I have an installation where I need to put a paging mic into a B400S.  On activation of the mic, the player needs to switch to the mic input, and back to previous settings once the announcement is finished.

What is the best way of achieving this?

  Normal operation of the B400S would involve once the microphone is connected to the B400S, with DIP switches set to MIC In, Phantom On/OFF (Depending on microphone requirements), is selecting Microphone In, as the source from the Navigation Drawer source menu.

  

  To go back to a music service then you must go back and select from the Navigation menu.

  A better way of operating this functionality is to use a CP100 Wall Mount Controller along with the B400S taking advantage of  Presets. In this example I have setup Preset 1 to be a TuneIn station, and Preset 2 to be the Microphone Input. When the CP100 is assigned to this player, by selecting Preset 1 on the CP100 the player selects TuneIn station, Preset 2 button selects Microphone In. this "one button" switchover is a quicker way to make the change. We do not have an automatic microphone input sense.
