Ch 1: Introduction
1.1 Evolution of the
TT24 Console
The professional live sound industry has been revolu-
tionized over the past few years by high-end digital con-
soles. However, mid-size digital consoles have tended
to emphasize studio applications with user interfaces
encumbered by features (i.e., DAW control) not essen-
tial for live applications. Some of these consoles conceal
their real cost by requiring the purchase of additional
cards to supplement their limited physical I/O.
The
TT24 Digital Live Console
is a mid-size digital
mixer with an intuitive interface optimized for live
sound applications. We have used our extensive exper-
tise and experience designing analog mixers to produce
a powerful, easy-to-use digital console for a wide range
of applications and budgets:
• theaters and houses of worship
• permanent concert installations
• professional live music touring companies
TT24 maintains an “analog mentality,” utilizing the
engineer’s experience, while providing all the advan-
tages of digital functionality. With all the features of
high-end consoles, the TT24 is extremely cost effective.
The design mandate for the TT24 console user inter-
face is simply stated:
Provide quick, intuitive access to any primary
live mixing function with no more than two
button presses, both within easy reach of the
engineer’s two hands.
Make the Touchscreen menu structure flat:
no “forward” and “back” buttons or menus to
wade through to access the desired function.

1.2.1 DSP Functionality
The TT24 is loaded with DSP horsepower that is
distributed on inputs and outputs in an optimal manner
for live sound. The TT24 design team spent a great deal
of time implementing and allocating the TT24’s DSP to
satisfy the rigorous, real-time demands of live concert
applications:
24 Mic/Line Inputs
• Polarity invert
• Variable High-Pass Filter
• Gate/Expander
• Compressor/Limiter
• 4-band parametric EQ
• Stereo linking
