Outputs
Audio Connections
Control 24 offers a great deal of flexibility for
routing audio to and from Pro Tools, external
sources and sends, and multiple monitoring sys-
tems. Although audio connections are not re-
quired to control Pro Tools functions with
Control 24, various cables are required to use
the mic preamps, analog submixing, send, re-
turn and auxiliary routing, and control room
monitoring features of Control 24.
The Control Room Monitor section is capable of
handling a variety of control room configura-
tions, including multiple sets of speakers,
switching to Mono or Dim modes, Talkback,
and most typical studio scenarios.
For more information about these configura-
tions and controls, see Chapter 6, “Control
Room Monitor Section.”
Input and Output Overview
Audio is routed in and out of Control 24
through seven balanced, panel-mounted 25-pin
D-Sub connectors and a collection of XLR and
1/4” jacks on the rear of the unit.
Each eight-channel connector supplies
Control 24 with inputs from Pro Tools audio in-
terface outputs, eight stereo submixer inputs,
eight external source inputs, 16 line outputs
from the mic/line preamps, and eight outputs
for speaker monitors, alternate speakers, or Sur-
round configurations.
For information on channel assignments and
configurations for each 25-pin D-Sub connector,
see “Control 24 Back Panel” on page 40.
A basic monitoring configuration can be
achieved by configuring stereo mix playback
from within Pro Tools and connecting outputs 1
and 2 from the Pro Tools audio interface to the
corresponding connectors 1 and 2 on the 25-pin
D-Sub harness configured for Pro Tools inputs.
25-pin D-Sub connector harness #4, that is ded-
icated to Pro Tools monitor inputs, is described
under “PRO TOOLS MONITOR IN Inputs” on
page 40.
