The TT24 supports a maximum of 32 input and output signal paths to/from each card slot. But, some cards (LP48) have less then 32 inputs/outputs.
  • Page 27 Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner’s Manual Addendum v1.7 ADAT Notes The available built-in ADAT I/O and an ADAT card interact with sample rate changes. Because the channel-count halves for ADAT at the 88.2/96k rating, special consideration must be taken.

    Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner’s Manual Addendum v1.7 2.3 U-Net Routing Screens If you are using a single TT24 and a DS3232, then the input and output routing screens allow you to choose the desired input and output routing. These two screens are generally all that you will need.
  • Page 29 Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner’s Manual Addendum v1.7 Each Routing screen is in two parts: receive and send.

    Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner’s Manual Addendum v1.7 2.4 DS3232 Routing Macros Because you can now use input routing to freely assign any hardware input to any channel, you can assign some snake signals to bank 1, some to bank 2, and still others to bank 3. This can be done per channel as previously described.

    Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner’s Manual Addendum v1.7 3.0 Front of House / Monitor Console Linking Front of House / Monitor Console Linking allows the support of two TT24s (one in front of house master position and the other in monitor master position) and one DS3232.
  • Page 44 Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner’s Manual Addendum v1.7 When linking consoles, either for the new FOH-MON linking or the existing FOH-FOH linking, you must confi gure the following new controls from the Setup>Linking screen: • Console Link Mode – This confi gures how the console behaves with other linked consoles.

  • Page 48: Gain Compensation

    Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner’s Manual Addendum v1.7 3.1 Gain Compensation When FOH-MON linking, since both consoles will be using inputs from the same mic pre, it may be desirable to have gain changes made to the mic pre not affect the other console. This is done using the digital trim on one console to compensate for changes made to the gain from the other.
  • Page 49 Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner’s Manual Addendum v1.7 When the mic-pre-master turns up or down the gain or adjusts the pad, the mic-pre-slave console with Mic Pre Gain Compensation enabled, automatically compensates by adjusting its digital trim. For instance, if the mic-pre-master turns up the mic pre gain by 5 dB, the mic- pre-slave’s digital trim gets turned down 5 dB.
  • Page 50 Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner’s Manual Addendum v1.7 This allows snapshots to be shared between mic-pre-master and mic-pre-slave console and to allow the console to operate in either confi guration while keeping their snapshots working properly. This is because when storing snapshots on the mic-pre-slave, the master gain, pad, 48v are stored in the snapshot along with the snake digital trim, so the snapshot is no different then that on a mic-pre-master console.

  • Page 51: Appendix Ramblings

    Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner’s Manual Addendum v1.7 4.0 Appendix Ramblings: Front of House and Monitor Mixer Utilizing a Snake In larger venues, a separate front of house and monitor console are used. In an all-analog world, the inputs from stage are sent to both the front of house and monitor console by using a splitter snake.
  • Page 52 Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner’s Manual Addendum v1.7 Snapshot Recall of Mic Pre Parameters Because the mic pre parameters can be stored and recalled via snapshots, this can cause some problems with sharing the mic pre. Ultimately, the users of both consoles want to be able to store and recall snapshots with gain changes and want changes made from one to not affect the other.
