WORD CLOCK IN/OUT
WORD CLOCK IN is a BNC connector that receives a word clock signal from
another device when the Clock Source is set to Word in the DIGITAL SETUP
Touchscreen. Use this connector when multiple devices must all operate from
an external master word clock. Use 75
Ω coaxial cable to connect a word clock
signal to WORD CLOCK IN.
WORD CLOCK OUT is a BNC connector that produces a word clock signal at
the TT24’s current sample rate. Use this connector to transmit the word clock
to other devices when the TT24 is operating as the system’s master word clock.
4.2.5
MIDI IN/OUT
MIDI IN/OUT are standard 5-pin DIN connectors to connect to other MIDI de-
vices. MIDI IN can receive MIDI Time Code (MTC) to synchronize with another
device, and MIDI Program Changes to recall snapshots. MIDI OUT can send
MIDI Machine Control (MMC) and MIDI Program Changes from snapshot recall.
NOTE:
MIDI functionality is not yet implemented.

USB
This standard Universal Serial Bus connector allows a PC to run the TT control
software, install firmware upgrades, share files between PCs, and backup files.

IEC Power Receptacle
This is a standard three-prong IEC power connector. Connect the detachable
cord included in the TT24 shipping box to the power receptacle. Plug the other
end of the cord into an AC outlet.
The TT24 has a universal power supply that can accept any AC voltage in the
range 100–240 VAC. This feature, which alleviates the need for voltage select
switches (and setting them correctly!), allows the TT24 to operate safely virtually
anywhere in the world. Fondly nicknamed “Planet-Earth power supply,” it is also
less susceptible to voltage sags or spikes, and provides better electromagnetic
isolation and protection against AC line noise.

POWER Switch
When the POWER switch is turned
on
, AC power is supplied to the TT24. It
exercises its faders while the firmware loads and the self-test routine executes.
