MIC and LINE Inputs
These 16 balanced connec-
tors (XLR for Mic inputs, TRS for 1/4-inch in-
puts) are the inputs to the Control|24 mic
preamps. Levels are adjustable with a dedicated
Gain control on the Control|24 channel strips.
(MIC and LINE inputs are output through the
Control|24 LINE OUTS 1–8, and LINE OUTS
9–16.)

D.I. INPUTS
These two balanced, 1/4-inch input
jacks accept instrument-level inputs and are op-
timized for direct input of guitars, basses, and
other low-level devices that would otherwise re-
quire a direct box. These inputs can only be used
as Instrument inputs for Control|24 mic preamp
channels 1 and 2.

AUXILIARY INPUTS
These two balanced, line-
level TRS inputs are for cue (headphone) mix
signals, and should be connected to your
Pro Tools cue outputs (usually, a pair of audio
interface outputs carrying a Send-based cue mix,
for monitoring during overdubbing and track-
ing). These inputs can be controlled and routed
in the Communications and Headphones sec-
tion.

LINE SUBMIXER. The LINE SUBMIXER output is
only accessible through the SUBMIXER OUT-
PUTS (in other words, the Line Submixer is not
mixed or routed to any other Control|24 inter-
nal busses or hardware outputs).
