Digidesign Control 24 Manuale Utente

DIM Switch

The DIM switch inserts a 20 dB reduction in 
level to the Control Room Monitor outputs. De-
pending on monitoring mode, most of the out-
puts are affected. 

The DIM switch affects the AUX level in a 
slightly more subtle way, with a 12 dB reduc-
tion. This is designed to create a smoother level 
transition when cueing with the Talkback cir-
cuit.

The DIM switch does not affect the front-panel 
headphone feed or Slate Out feed. 

Press the DIM switch again to toggle back to 
normal monitoring levels. 

DIM and Stereo Mode

DIM affects MAIN, ALT, and AUX monitor lev-
els only. 

DIM and Surround Modes

DIM affects all outputs at all times (MAIN, ALT, 
AUX). All channels of a Surround matrix are af-
fected.

Headphone Jack and Controls

A 1/4-inch stereo jack is provided on the Con-
trol|24 front-panel for headphone monitoring 
of the currently active main Control Room 
Monitor signal. The jack is located on the lower-
right corner of the Control Room Monitor sec-
tion.

The HEADPHONE LEVEL knob controls the 
level of the headphones. The headphone circuit 
is not affected by the MONO, MUTE, or DIM 
switches.

Talkback and Listenback

Talkback and Listenback are used to communi-
cate between control room and other rooms or 
booths, and as source mic inputs for slate re-
cording. Control|24 provides talkback and lis-
tenback capabilities that include dedicated level 
controls, choice of internal or external Talkback 
microphone, Listenback microphone input, and 
Slate functions. 

Talkback 

Talkback is a dedicated signal path 

that sends a microphone feed from the control 
room to any remote locations through the AUX 
output bus. This Talkback signal is also routed to 
the Slate output for logging, marker, and note-
taking purposes.

Listenback 

Listenback routes an external micro-

phone feed back to the Control Room Monitor 
section, for bi-directional conversation between 
the control room and the recipients of the Talk-
back signal. When Listenback is engaged, the
