Description of Controls
9 0 STUDIO 24 REFERENCE MANUAL
2 TRACK TAPE IN
Connect the output of your 2-track (cassette, DAT, CD, reel-to-reel, etc.) to these
jacks. Any stereo source connected here may be heard in the control room mix only.
The RCA jacks accept an unbalanced signal only; you may need to make or purchase
cables that have RCAs on one end if your two-track has different output connectors.
MAIN OUTS
These unbalanced RCA jacks receive the same signal as the top panel MAIN OUTS
but output a -10dBV unbalanced signal. A common use for these outputs is
connecting the Studio 24 to a consumer cassette recorder or similar device. Also note
that the output from these jacks are affected by an effect device plugged into the top
panel MAIN INSERTS.
GROUP OUTPUTS
You may connect these jacks to the first two inputs of a multitrack recorder such as
the Alesis ADAT, whose input normalling feature allows you to go to any of the
eight tracks (Group 1 will feed tracks 1 and 5, etc.). In PA applications, you may
connect these jacks to amplifiers for specific zones (Group 1 feeds a center cluster,
Group 2 feeds side fills, etc.). In broadcast applications, these may be used to provide
“mix minus” or matrix feeds. These jacks are true balanced +4 dBu nominal level
(+28 dBu maximum) outputs on a TRS 3-conductor phone jack.
STEREO AUX RETURNS
These four balanced TRS input jacks are located near the edge of the top panel for
easy repatching. Connect the output of your effects devices, or any other stereo input
that doesn’t require EQ here. Traditionally, the “A” inputs are fed by an effect device
fed by AUX 3 and the “B” inputs by a device fed by AUX 4.
AUX SENDS
The two output jacks, labeled AUX 3 POST and AUX 4 POST, are normally
connected to the inputs of effect devices. The signal output from these jacks is post-
fader, post-EQ. These jacks are 3-conductor TRS with a forward-referenced ground to
avoid ground loops.
MON 1/2
The MON 1/2 jacks may be fed to a headphone amplifier in recording applications
(to be used as the monitor system for the musicians), or to a stage monitor system in
PA applications. Like the AUX SENDS, these jacks are 3-conductor TRS with a
forward-referenced ground.
