Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Quickstart Guide

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1Evolution of the TT24 Console

The professional live sound industry has been revolutionized over the past few years by high-end digital consoles. However, mid-size digital consoles have tended to emphasize studio applications with user interfaces encumbered by features (i.e., DAW control) not critical for live applications. Some of these consoles conceal their real cost by requiring the purchase of additional cards to supplement their limited physical I/O.

The TT24 Digital Live Console is a mid-size digital mixer optimized for live sound applications. We have used our extensive expertise and experience de- signing analog mixers to produce a powerful, easy-to-use digital console for a wide range of applications and budgets:

theaters and houses of worship;

permanent concert installations;

professional live music touring companies.
