Main features of the SI-24
The SI-24 supports R-BUS. When R-BUS is used to connect the SI-24 to a computer
in which an RPC-1 is installed, you can transfer eight channels (IN/OUT) of digital
audio, and control applications via MIDI.

❍ The eight analog inputs support a wide range of input sensitivities, ranging from
line level (+4 dB) to mic level (-50 dB). The eight XLR connectors can provide
phantom power, allowing condenser mics that require external power to be
directly connected. A high impedance phone jack (GUITAR) is also provided for
directly connecting a guitar.

If the protocol (p. 25) is set
to “Pro Tools mode,” the
button and knob functions
will differ in some ways
from the panel. If you are
using “Pro Tools mode,”
you will find it convenient
to use the SI-24 with the Pro
Tools mode labels affixed.
