years by high - end digital consoles. However, mid - size digital consoles have

consoles conceal their real cost by requiring the purchase of additional cards to
supplement their limited physical I/O.

terface optimized for live sound applications. We have used our extensive
expertise and experience designing analog mixers to produce a powerful, easy -
to - use digital console for a wide range of applications and budgets :

• professional live music touring companies
TT24 maintains an "analog mentality," utilizing the engineer's experience,
while providing all the advantages of digital functionality. With all the features
of high-end consoles, the TT24 is extremely cost effective.
The design mandate for the TT24 console user interface is simply stated :
Provide quick, intuitive access to any primary live mixing function
with no more than two button presses, both within easy reach of the
