The
Mackie TT24 Digital Live Mixer is a fully digital 24-bit/96kHz mid-sized console which gives engineers full automation and
recall of levels, EQ, effects, routing and more. Unlike other affordable digital consoles designed primarily as recording
desks, the TT24 mixer puts gobs of standard analog and digital I/O right on the rear panel. Not to mention, it's far easier
to learn and use by the average live sound engineer.
Bustin' with analog i/o!
Affordable
digital consoles have historically been developed as production mixers, with live features added as an afterthought. As such,
they are notoriously limited in terms of mic channels and outputs. The TT24's rear panel, however, is bustin' with analog
I/O: 24 mic/line channels, 8 line inputs, 2 CD/Tape inputs, Talkback Mic input, L/R & C (mono) Main outputs, 12 Auxiliary
sends, and 8 Group/Matrix outputs. Of course, you can also expand the TT24 using optional I/O cards, and even link two consoles
together for a mondo 48-fader/72-input/96-channel version.
DSP where you need it
The TT24
team spent a great deal of time figuring out a way to access and apply all of the TT24's onboard DSP power in a way that's
practical, intuitive, and fast enough for live sound. All 24 mic inputs all have 4-band EQ, Comp/Limiter, and Gate available
within two button presses; and the 8 line inputs have the 4-band EQ as well. So by installing a TT24, you can say goodbye
to your bulky, expensive rack of outboard dynamics processors and equalizers forever.
Flex Groups: A TT Exclusive!
The TT24's Flex Groups consist of 8 groups individually configurable as mono, stereo or VCA-style groups
with dedicated group faders. You can tailor these groups specifically for your application, whether its traditional analog-style
Mono groups, Stereo groups on a single fader, or VCA groups-a feature not available on any console, digital or analog, at
this price. Of course, the Flex Group faders are in addition to the 24 channel faders to avoid bank switching during normal
operation.
Aux Mode: Instant monitor console!
Using Aux mode, the Mackie TT24 mixer can
be turned into a full-featured professional monitor console with a single button press. (To make things easy, the Aux Mode
is the only blue button on the console.) In Aux mode, the TT24 channel faders become Aux Send levels, while Group faders become
Aux Send masters. This makes the TT24 a great front-of-house console or an ideal monitor mixing console depending on your
application.
What is Matrix Plus?
This is where things get jiggy. The TT24's Matrix Plus
is a type of digital patching not possible with analog consoles. Basically, it lets you patch any source into the Matrix,
providing you with additional sub-mixes for cry rooms, green rooms, broadcast, recording and monitoring. So the next time
you need to run another mix, it's not a problem .
TT Control Software
The TT24 ships with
Mackie's powerful TT Control software, which can be used to control and monitor the console using a laptop or desktop PC.
Once connected via a single USB cable, TT Control software provides a large, full-color view of the TT24's touchscreen. In
addition to providing a larger view, the TT Control software's interface was designed with daylight usage in mind (i.e. black
lines on white backgrounds or bright yellow text on black backgrounds). In default setting, the TT24 mixer's LCD screen is
mirrored in the in the software, making it easy to keep your hands on the control surface with your eyes on the computer monitor.
But the software can also be set up to operate independently of the console if a second engineer is working. Additionally,
TT Control allows for convenient file saving and firmware upgrades via PC. 24-bit/96kHz digital mixing console purposely designed
for live applications 99 snapshots instantly recall levels, dynamics processing, EQ, routing, mutes, etc.
