Digidesign Control 24 Manuale Utente

Connections for Stereo 
Monitoring

You can achieve a basic monitoring configura-
tion through Control|24 by using stereo mix 
playback in Pro Tools in conjunction with two 
25-pin D-Sub breakout cables (one for input and 
one for output). 

Main and Alt Inputs

To monitor Pro Tools sessions in Stereo Mix mode:

1  

Confirm that you have a male 25-pin D-Sub 

connector that breaks out to the correct type of 
connectors for your patch bay or audio inter-
face.

2  

Attach the 25-pin D-Sub end of your breakout 

cable to the 25-pin D-Sub connector labeled 
PRO TOOLS MONITOR IN.

3  

Connect the breakout cables corresponding to 

channels 1–2 to your stereo main mix outputs 
(usually outputs 1 and 2) of the Pro Tools audio 
interface.

Alternate Source Inputs

Control|24 provides three pairs of alternate 
source inputs, to integrate stereo returns from 
DAT, cassette, or CD players.

To connect alternate (external) source inputs:

1  

Attach the 25-pin D-Sub end of a breakout ca-

bles to the EXTERNAL SOURCES IN connector. 

2  

Connect the breakout cables to balanced ste-

reo sources as desired. 

Main and Alt Speaker Outputs

To connect stereo output from Control|24 for 
monitoring:

1  

Confirm that you have a 25-pin D-Sub con-

nector that breaks out to the correct type of con-
nectors for your patch bay or monitor system 
(amplifier, mixer, or powered speakers).

2  

Attach the 25-pin D-Sub end of your breakout 

cable to the 25-pin D-Sub connector labeled 
SPEAKERS OUT.

3  

Connect channels 1–2 to the inputs of your 

monitor system.

The level to these speakers is adjusted with the 
MAIN MONITOR LEVEL control. 

To connect an alternate set of speakers:

■

Connect channels 7–8 of the SPEAKERS OUT 

cable harness to the inputs of your alternate ste-
reo monitor system. 

The level to these speakers is adjusted with the 
ALT MONITOR control.

The Communication/Headphones section also 
provides level controls and basic monitor rout-
ing controls for Headphone, Aux, Listen Mic 
and Talkback Mic levels.

There are many different possible applications 
and configurations within the Control Room 
Monitor Section, including multiple stereo 
source monitoring and submixing extra auxil-
iary return channels. See Chapter 8, “Control 
Room Monitor Section.”
