Setting-Up the C•control

Connecting Stereo Recorders and Sound Sources

C control Inputs

The C control features four 2-track /Stereo inputs for connecting a variety of sounds sources including
the output of the main mixing console or computer sound card, a DAT recorder, Open Reel Half-track
(dust them off, they still sound great), Cassette recorder, CD player, MIDI workstation or sub mixers to
name some. Each of the C controls stereo inputs can be turned on or off from the front panel assign
switches. For added flexibility, it is possible to have any or all of the 2-track /Stereo inputs on at the
same time. This is particularly useful when connecting the outputs of a main mixing console or comput-
er sound card, and the outputs of a sub-mixer or MIDI workstation allowing you to monitor both sound
sources and control them as if they were one. Because the C control provides many inputs and outputs
for connecting your gear, there are many ways the unit can be interfaced. The following section
describes the 2-track /Stereo inputs and how they can be used with equipment commonly found in a
recording studio. There is also a "Typical Set-up" diagram on page 15 of this manual and a wiring guide
on page 17 to help you choose the correct cables for your set-up.
