Overview of Control|24
Monitoring
The analog monitoring features of Control|24
are similar to the “center section” of a tradi-
tional mixing console. Features are located in
the Control Room Monitor section, and the
Communications/Headphone section.
◆
The Control Room Monitor section supports
Stereo and Surround monitoring (up to six
channels, or 5.1 multichannel), with special op-
tions available in each mode.
◆
The Communications and Headphone sec-
tion provides control over headphone/cue mix
levels, talkback, and listenback, simplifying stu-
dio communication between the control room
and tracking rooms.
In order to take advantage of these analog mon-
itoring features, audio must be connected prop-
erly to Control|24. For stereo monitoring con-
nections, see Chapter 3, “Audio Connections.”
For surround monitoring connections, see
Chapter 5, “Surround Setups.”
