Master L/R and C/Mono

The Master L/R and C/Mono bus has the following signal path: six-band 

parametric EQ, compressor, and master fader.

5.2.1

L/R+Mono and LCR Modes

The TT24 has two master mix operating modes:

L/R+Mono: Stereo with an independent mono output.

LCR: 

True LCR panning from the channels and busses.

L/R+Mono

In L/R+Mono mode, the left and right stereo signals are available at the LEFT 

and RIGHT outputs, the mono signal from the CTR/MONO output. Channels 

can be assigned to both outputs. The channel sends to CTR/MONO are pre-pan, 

so the channel pan setting has no effect. 

The L/R and Mono master levels and processing are linked by default, but they 

can be independent (see page 27). When unlinked, the MASTER fader controls 

the LR output and the C/Mono fader (channel 24 on the MASTERS bank) 

controls the mono output (which can also be controlled on the Master OVERVIEW 

Touchscreen). When linked, all processing is linked and the Master fader controls 

all levels. A relative offset between LR and CTR/MONO may be set using the 

Master OVERVIEW Touchscreen faders or the faders for channel strips 22–24 

in the MASTERS bank.

LCR

In LCR mode, the LEFT, CTR/MONO, and RIGHT outputs present the LCR 

signal. Channels can be assigned to LR, Center, or LCR. A channel assigned to 

Center only is routed pre-pan, so the channel pan does not affect the Center 

signal. Channels assigned to LR only are routed to the LEFT and RIGHT 

outputs using stereo pan positioning. Channels assigned to LCR are routed to 

LEFT, CTR/MONO, and RIGHT outputs using true LCR panning.

The LCR master levels and processing are linked by default but can be unlinked 

and processed independently by pressing the LINK button in the Master 

OVERVIEW Touchscreen. When unlinked, the MASTER fader controls the 

LEFT and RIGHT outputs and the C/Mono fader (channel 24 on the MASTERS 

bank) controls the Center output (which can also be controlled on the Master 

OVERVIEW Touchscreen). When linked, all processing is linked and the 

MASTER fader controls all levels. A relative offset between the LEFT-RIGHT 

and CTR may be set using the Master OVERVIEW Touchscreen or by using the 

faders for channel strips 22–24 in the MASTERS bank.
