Chapter 6: Control Room Monitor Section 49
Stereo Mode
Pressing MONO will route mono-sum signals to
the MAIN and ALT outputs.
Surround Modes
Only the Left and Right channels are affected by
pressing the MONO switch.
DIM Switch
The DIM switch inserts a 20 dB reduction in
level to the Control Room Monitor outputs. De-
pending on monitoring mode, most of the out-
puts are affected.
The DIM switch affects the AUX level in a
slightly more subtle way, with a 12 dB reduc-
tion. This is designed to create a smoother level
transition when cueing with the Talkback cir-
cuit.
The DIM switch does not affect the front-panel
headphone feed or Slate Out feed.
Press the DIM switch again to toggle back to
normal monitoring levels.
Stereo Mode
DIM affects MAIN, ALT, and AUX monitor lev-
els only.
Surround Modes
DIM affects all outputs at all times (MAIN, ALT,
AUX). All channels of a Surround matrix are af-
fected.
Headphone Jack and Controls
A 1/4” stereo jack is provided on the Control 24
front-panel for headphone monitoring of the
currently active main Control Room Monitor
signal. The jack is located on the lower-left cor-
ner of the Control Room Monitor section.
The HEADPHONE LEVEL knob controls the
level of the headphones. The headphone circuit
is not affected by the MONO, MUTE, or DIM
switches.
Talkback and Listenback
Talkback and Listenback are used to facilitate
communication between control room and
other rooms or booths.
Control 24 provides talkback and listenback ca-
pabilities that include dedicated level controls,
choice of internal or external Talkback micro-
phone, phantom-powered Listenback micro-
phone input, and Slate functions.
This section explains how to use the Control
Room Monitoring features to set up and use
Talkback, Listenback, cue and Slate functions.
