Digidesign Control 24 User Manual

Headphones

Control|24 provides a stereo headphone jack in 
the Control Room Monitor section, with sepa-
rate level control. The headphone jack provides 
a discrete feed of the main stereo Control|24 
mix. The Headphone output does not follow 
Control Room Mono, Mute or Dim functions. 

Stereo and Surround Modes

Control|24 can operate in Stereo, LCRS, and 5.1 
modes. 

When monitoring in stereo mode, the Control 
Room Monitor section supports single- and 
multi-source monitoring. In LCRS or 5.1 sur-
round, the Control Room section provides 
source control (solo and mute) of channels and 
channel pairs, as well as overall level. 

The mode you choose will determine your input 
and output connection requirements. For infor-
mation on Surround configurations, see 
Chapter 8, “Control Room Monitor Section.”

The Line Submixer Section

The Control|24 built-in submixer consists of 
eight stereo input channels, which are sub-
mixed to the Control|24 stereo Submixer Master 
control and output to the SUBMIXER OUT out-
puts (left and right, TRS connectors). Each chan-
nel is individually adjustable with its respective 
Input Gain control.

Submixing returns from MDMs, routing synthe-
sizers, samplers, or drum machines, or returning 
additional auxiliary busses are just a few exam-
ples of ways that this simple mixer can be used.

If you want to record the output of the Line Sub-
mixer, connect the SUBMIXER OUT outputs to 
available Pro Tools audio interface inputs. 

Footswitch

The SW 1 and SW 2 jacks can be assigned to any 
of three available Footswitch functions:

• Play/stop 

• Record (punch in/out)

• Remote Talkback on/off 

Polarity is selectable for these switch ports, en-
abling you to use virtually any momentary foot-
switch to control these functions. 

For more information about footswitch settings, 
please refer to Appendix B, “Utility Functions.”
