OOM AMPLIFIER
Connect the Studio 24’s  CONTROL ROOM OUTS to the inputs of the amplifier used
for the control room monitor speakers. The CONTROL ROOM LEVEL knob on the
Studio 24 controls the level of the control room monitor speakers.
Note: These jacks are also TRS balanced. You may use unbalanced 2-conductor cables
if the power amp doesn’t have balanced inputs. If the amp features XLR inputs, use a
TRS 3-conductor phone-to-XLR-male cable.

Monitor 1 and 2 may be used to set up a separate cue mix for musicians to overdub
to while listening to headphones. Connect the MON 1 and 2 outputs on the back
panel to a suitable headphone amplifier, if you will use the monitor section
separately.
Tip
If you’d like your studio headphones to switch between MONITOR 1/2 and the
Control Room mix, the HEADPHONE jack may be connected to an amplifier’s
inputs using a tip-ring-sleeve stereo splitter cable (the same type used for Insert
cables). This also may be used for a second set of Control Room or studio
playback monitors. Just keep the HEADPHONE LEVEL control at 2 o’clock or
less.

ATCHBAY
It may be easier in some installations to access everything by the use of a patchbay,
which is several rows of jacks that are permanently connected to both the inputs and
the outputs of the Studio 24, the multitrack tape machine, and all of the outboard
equipment. This is much more convenient, but a more expensive method than
described in the last section, and is not absolutely necessary for operation. In this
case, the patching is the same as in the previous example except that it is now done
on the patchbay instead of at the top or back connectors of the console and multitrack
tape machine.
With a patchbay, it is also easier to make use of the AUX SENDS and RETURNS of
the Studio 24. Different effects may be repatched to receive signal from whatever
Aux Send the session requires.
For information on connecting to effects, see the next chapter.
