Additional I/O Connectors
Control|24 provides the following individual 
connectors on the back panel: 
Input
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. 
EXTERNAL TALKBACK IN 
This XLR connector 
lets you connect an external microphone to use 
in place of the built-in Talkback mic. 
EXTERNAL LISTENBACK IN 
This XLR connector 
lets you connect an external Listenback micro-
phone, to provide a way for two-way communi-
cation between the tracking room and the con-
trol room. 
Output 
AUXILIARY OUTPUTS 
These two balanced, line-
level TRS outputs are for cue mixes, and should 
be connected to the inputs of your cue system. 
SUBMIXER OUTPUTS 
These two line-level, bal-
anced TRS outputs carry the submix from the 
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). 
SLATE OUTPUT 
This balanced TRS connector 
outputs the Control|24 Slate output, which can 
include Talkback and Listenback signals. Con-
nect this output to an available Pro Tools input 
for recording slates (take number, version num-
ber, and studio communication). 
Other Connectors and Switches
Footswitch Inputs 
Provide footswitch control for 
Pro Tools transport functions (such as 
play/stop, and punch in/out), and Talkback. 
Function and polarity are individually selectable 
for each input.
Ethernet 
Provides an Ethernet connection be-
tween Control|24 and your computer. 
Power 
Accepts a standard AC power cable, and is 
auto-switching for use in any country. 
Switches
Power 
Turns Control|24 on or off. 
Phantom Power 
Two switches that enable +48v 
phantom power to their corresponding bank of 
eight mic preamp channels (Switch 1 affects 
preamp channels 1–8, and Switch 2 affects 
preamp channels 9–16.)
