Model: TT24(Discont.)
Digital Live Console w/ Computer Control
A DIGITAL CONSOLE FOR ANALOG
MINDS.
The idea behind Mackie’s new TT24™ Digital Live Console
was simple. We wanted to give engineers all the benefits of live
digital mixing — like instant recall, built-in dynamics, and
software control — within reach of two hands and a modest
budget. After spending considerable R&D time and big bucks
designing and refining this concept console, we proudly introduce
the real-world-ready TT24, the first digital live console designed
by analog mixer fanatics.
The TT24 is a fully digital 24-bit/96kHz mid-sized console which
gives engineers full automation and recall of levels, EQ, effects,
routing and more. And unlike other affordable digital consoles,
designed primarily as recording desks, the TT24 puts gobs of
standard analog and digital I/O right on the rear panel. Not to
mention being 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. (Click here for a sexy rear
panel shot.) 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 TT24 can be turned into a full-featured
professional monitor console with a single button press. (To make
things easy, we made Aux Mode 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. we used black lines on white backgrounds or bright yellow
text on black backgrounds). In default setting, the TT24'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.
Flexible Routing And Digital
Splitting
Updating to TT v1.7 greatly expands the routing options for the
TT24 Digital Live Console by enabling full I/O routing, allowing a
user to digitally patch any channel or mix to any output, including
the outputs of all TT24 option accessories. Also, pre/post DSP
inserts on every channel provide access points to the LP48 Speaker
Processing Card. This update enables the U100 and DS3232 to act as
a digital splitter in a FOH/Monitor application by allowing the
user to assign inputs and outputs to both the FOH and Monitor
consoles over Mackie’s low-latency, high-bandwidth U-Net
audio and control protocol.
EXPANDING YOUR TT24
UNIVERSE
The TT24 Digital Live Console already has more DSP power and I/O
than anything in its class. But we’re not the types to stop
there — we provide two expansion slots on the rear of the
console so you can take the power of the TT24 up a notch, or two
rather.
