TT24 DIGITAL LIVE CONSOLE

Ch 1: Introduction
1.1 Evolution of the TT24 Console
The professional live sound industry has been revolutionized over the past few years by high-end digital consoles. However, mid-size digital consoles have tended to emphasize studio applications with user interfaces encumbered by features (i.e., DAW control) not essential for live applications. Some of these consoles conceal their real cost by requiring the purchase of additional cards to supplement their limited physical I/O. The TT24 Digital Live Console is a mid-size digital mixer with an intuitive interface 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: · · · theaters and houses of worship permanent concert installations professional live music touring companies

Owner's Manual

· · · · ·

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 engineer's two hands. Make the Touchscreen menu structure flat: no "forward" and "back" buttons or menus to wade through to access the desired function.

· · · · · ·

1.2.1 DSP Functionality
The TT24 is loaded with DSP horsepower that is distributed on inputs and outputs in an optimal manner for live sound. The TT24 design team spent a great deal of time implementing and allocating the TT24's DSP to satisfy the rigorous, real-time demands of live concert applications:

1.3 Terminology and Conventions
·

Main Outputs (LEFT, RIGHT, CTR/MONO)
· · · · Compressor/Limiter 6-band parametric EQ (includes dual kill filters) 31-band graphic EQ L/R + Mono or LCR modes of operation

The following terms and conventions are used throughout this manual. Touchscreen and console controls are represented in bold type using their exact spelling and capitalization (i.e., press the ANLG bank button). Touchscreen and console areas are represented by capital letters in plain type (i.e., press the PAN button in the V-POT CONTROL area). Activate pertains to switches/buttons that toggle between two values and means "press the button until it lights." Deactivate pertains to switches/buttons that toggle between two values and means "press the button until it is not lit." ADC means analog-to-digital converter DAC means digital-to-analog converter Intercancel means that pushing one button simultaneously selects that button and automatically deselects the previously selected button. One button is always active. For example, the Bank Select buttons intercancel. Radio button is another term often used to describe this behavior, originating from the push buttons that selected radio stations in pre-1960s cars

The Touchscreen is a new interface to most audio engineers that requires some new terminology. · · Touch pertains to selection on the Touchscreen (i.e., Touch the EQ button). Select describes touching a button or checkbox such that it is activated. This allows a single instruction to describe this action without knowing the control's previous state. For example, if the control is not selected, touching the control once selects it. If it is already selected, no action is required.
