Chapter 3: Audio Connections
This chapter provides an overview of Control|24
analog audio capabilities, and explains how to
make all audio connections between Con-
trol|24, Pro Tools, and your other studio equip-
ment for standard stereo operation. (For sur-
round requirements and signal connections, see
Chapter 5, “Surround Setups.”)
Stereo and Surround Monitoring Modes
Control|24 supports stereo and multichannel
(surround) monitoring. Your audio connections
can vary depending on which mode you want to
employ. For more information about stereo and
surround monitoring modes, see “Stereo and
Surround Modes” on page 20.
Input and Output Overview
Control|24 offers a great deal of flexibility for
routing audio to and from Pro Tools, other ex-
ternal sources and sends, and multiple monitor-
ing systems. Audio is routed in and out of Con-
trol|24 through seven balanced, panel-mounted
25-pin D-Sub connectors, as well as through a
collection of XLR and 1/4-inch jacks on the rear
of the unit. (See Figure 1 on page 14.)
◆ The mic preamps offer 16 channels of input
which can be routed through Control|24 to
Pro Tools inputs for recording.
◆ The various 25-pin D-Sub connectors also pro-
vide connections for the Control Room Moni-
toring section, which provides comprehensive
and flexible control of Pro Tools monitoring lev-
els.
◆ The Line Submixer is an independent, eight
channel submixer. The Line Submixer outputs
can be integrated into Pro Tools through dis-
crete connections to audio interface inputs, or
used only as monitoring sources within Con-
trol|24.
For operational information about the Control
Room section, see Chapter 8, “Control Room
Monitor Section.”
