6.13.1 Operation 

Figure 6-28 OPERATION SETUP

CENTER MODE 

Choose between the two CENTER MODE options: 

L/R 

+ MONO and LCR. See L/R+Mono and LCR Modes on 

page 24 for an explanation of these modes. 

INPUT DSP Routing

Input DSP Routing allows you to route the 24 chan-

nels of DSP normally assigned to the analog bank to the 

digital bank instead. This takes the Trim, Phase, HPF, 

EQ, Gate, and Compressor from all 24 analog inputs and 

moves them to the digital channels 25-48. Additionally, 

when a UFX-II card is inserted in a TT24 and being used 

to load the digital channels 25-48 with DSP both the 

analog and digital buttons are lit indicating that DSP 

exists on both channels.

NOISE SUPPRESSION

Touch the 

ENABLE button to activate the Noise Sup-

pression feature. This reduces the noise floor by activat-

ing low-level noise gates and eliminating noise from 

unused channels. A master threshold control allows you 

to adjust the trigger point for the gates (the range is 

–70 dB to –50 dB).

6.13.2 General 

Figure 6-29 GENERAL SETUP

PRE FADER AUX SENDS GLOBAL 

Pre-fader Aux sends can be globally changed to pre-or 

post-mute. This feature facilitates using the TT24 for 

both FOH and monitors. For example, the monitors 

are normally fed by pre-fader Aux sends. During a set 

change, to reset the mics for the next band, they must 

be muted in the monitors. This requires the pre-fader 

Aux sends to be pre-mute. 

PC AUTO FOLLOW 

The TT control software can be set to operate inde-

pendently from the Touchscreen or to follow it. When 

independent, two users may simultaneously control the 

TT24, one from the Touchscreen and one from the PC. 

SELECT FOLLOWS SOLO 

Select Follows Solo allows channel selection to be 

dependent on pressing the channel’s solo button. This 

feature is useful during initial set-up and mixing for 

quick access to channel editing when soloing channels 

into the monitor and headphone bus.

UNITS OF MEASUREMENT 

This allows U.S. or metric units of measurement to 

used for console settings. 

FADERS and SCREEN CALIBRATE 

Touch either of these 

CALIBRATE buttons to follow sim-

ple instructions to calibrate the faders and Touchscreen. 

EXCLUSIVE SOLO 

Select 

EXCLUSIVE SOLO to deactivate previous SOLO 

selections upon a new one. For example, if channel 1 is 

soloed, pressing channel 2’s 

SOLO button automatically 

unsolos channel 1. Even with 

EXCLUSIVE SOLO se-

lected, multiple channels can be soloed by holding down 

the Ctrl key while pressing a 

SOLO button. When not se-

lected, multiple channels can be soloed simultaneously. 

V-POT SPEED

The speed and responsiveness of all V-Pot and 

QuickMix knob functions (except Pan) are affected by 

the eight position V-POT SPEED setting. “Fast” allows 

the V-Pot to travel through the entire range of a param-

eter in one full turn of the encoder. “Slow” allows for 

finer control and requires more than one turn to travel 

through the range of a parameter.
