Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner’s Manual Addendum v1.7

44

When linking consoles, either for the new FOH-MON linking or the existing FOH-FOH linking, 
you must confi gure the following new controls from the Setup>Linking screen:

•  Console Link Mode – This confi gures how the console behaves with other linked 

consoles. Only one can be selected at a time on any console. 

• FOH 

Master 

(Default) 

• MON 

Master 

• FOH 

Slave

• MON 

Slave

•  Linked Clock Mode – This confi gures which unit will be used as the clock master when 

linked. Only one TT24 on a linked chain should be confi gured as Linked Clock Master. 
All other TT24s should be confi gured as clock slave. The clock master must still 
confi gure internal or external clock on the setup>digital page. This setting effectively 
sets the TT24 to the highest clock priority which will cause it to be chosen as the U-
Net clock master by the U-Net clock negation. If more then one console is confi gured 
as master (or none are confi gured as Master), the system will automatically choose one 
using standard U-Net clock negotiation; this may lead to clocking issues or unexpected 
clocking behavior. By default this is set to Slave.

•  Mic Pre Mode– This confi gures whether the console is master or slave for Mic Pre Gain 

Compensation. This only has an effect if consoles are connected to a DS3232. If only 
one console is connected to a snake, it should be set to Mic Pre Master. See the rest of 
this section for details on Gain Compensation. By default it is set to Master.

•  Mic Pre Trim Compensate On/Off – This confi gures whether the console is 

compensating for gain changes. Any combination of Mic Pre Masters or Slaves can be 
confi gured to compensate as desired. See the rest of this section for details on Gain 
Compensation. By default it is set to Off. 

Note that if more then one console is confi gured for the same Console Link Mode on a 
network, then a U-Net Network error will occur.

Also, note that only one Clock master should be present, but many Clock slaves can be 
connected.
