Chapter 4: Audio Connections 21
Monitor Section
The C|24 Monitor section is a six-channel con-
trol room monitoring system that allows con-
nection of up to four input sources (two 6-chan-
nel or 4-channel surround, two stereo), two cue
inputs, and two outputs (one 6-channel sur-
round and one stereo).
Monitor section Inputs are connected to
Pro Tools audio interface outputs and other in-
put sources in your studio. Monitor section Out-
puts are connected to your speakers, cue sys-
tems, headphones, and studio talkback and
listenback systems.
Monitor Section Inputs
C|24 Monitor section inputs appear on three
DB-25 female connectors on the back panel, la-
beled as follows:
• Pro Tools In (PT 1-6 + Cue 1-2)
• Surround In (Alt Sur 1-6)
• Ext Stereo In (Ext St 1 + St 2)
Input sources can be selected individually or
summed using the Monitor source switches on
