I'd always wondered about this. I was in a radio station the other day and they had it rigged up so that when ever the mic goes on the moniters turn off.

I thought it was really neat, basically when you want to talk you put the headphones on so you can hear the master out, click the mic on and presto total silence. Then when you finish talking the mike goes off the moniters come on and your free to mix away to your hearts content.

just thought I'd mention it cuz it's sort of on topic.
