Of the growing number of reasons that Pro Tools remains the choice of more audio professionals than all other digital audio workstations combined, here is yet one more: Control|24, the newest collaboration between Focusrite and Digidesign. A control surface engineered by Focusrite and built specifically for Pro Tools, Control|24 shatters everything in its price range in terms of quality and performance

PUT YOUR HANDS ON PRO TOOLS
Control|24 is an ergonomic control surface and analog front end for TDM-equipped Pro Tools systems. Designed to enhance the speed of working with Pro Tools, Control|24 transforms even the most complex sequence of functions into a series of simple movements, leaving you to wonder how you ever got along with just a keyboard and mouse.

WORLD-CLASS FOCUSRITE ANALOG DESIGN
High resolution digital audio workstations such as Pro Tools offer very accurate and detailed audio quality. When recording at increased resolutions, it is important to use high-end mic/line preamps to ensure that the most precise signal possible is being fed into your audio interface. With 16 Class A mic/line preamps based on the design featured in the award-winning Platinum line of processors from Focusrite, Control|24 provides a highly sophisticated front end to audio interfaces. Control|24 even includes two DI (direct inject) inputs on the first two channels for directly plugging in instrument-level devices such as an electric guitar or bass. Digidesign also offers two optional, complete DigiSnake Kits for Control|24 that include seven customlabeled, custom color-coded cable snakes — one with D-Sub to XLR/TRS connectors, and one with D-Sub to TRS connectors — allowing you to quickly and easily connect this versatile control surface to your Pro Tools system.

EXTENSIVE CONTROL
While Control|24 looks and feels similar to a traditional analog mixing console, it is actually an extremely powerful and flexible control surface that puts the power of Pro Tools right at your fingertips. With 24 touch-sensitive moving faders, illuminated switching for dozens of functions — including Mute, Solo, Record Arm, Channel Selects, and Automation Mode, as well as dedicated EQ and Dynamics switches on every channel — Control|24 offers hands-on access to nearly every recording, routing, mixing, and editing function in Pro Tools. With 26 scribble strips provided for system feedback such as channel names and plug-in parameters, dual-channel metering on each channel strip, and a high-resolution LED for displaying transport location, Control|24 allows you to spend a lot less time staring at your computer monitor so you can concentrate on more important tasks. In fact, Control|24 will have you flying through your Pro Tools sessions with such ease that you may forget you’re even using a computer.

HIGH-QUALITY ANALOG MONITORING SECTION
Control|24 features a comprehensive analog monitoring section capable of up to 5.1 surround monitoring. Also included are talkback capabilities and an integrated submixer section with eight stereo inputs for control over your submixes, synths, or MDM’s.

ETHERNET CONNECTION
Where many control surfaces and digital mixers rely on MIDI to communicate with the host system, Control|24 connects to Pro Tools via a standard, 10Base-T Ethernet connection.This means you’ll get the stability, lightning-fast response, and accuracy you need when working with your most delicate sessions.

HUGE PERFORMANCE AT A SMALL PRICE
Control|24 combines many of the benefits of using a professional analog console — like hands-on control and built-in high-end mic/line preamplification — with all of the innovative features and flexibility of working with Pro Tools.Whether you’re a newcomer to Pro Tools or a seasoned pro waiting to get your hands on the system’s power, the extensive features and affordable price of Control|24 make this unit an extremely cost-effective, yet uniquely powerful environment for recording, editing, and mixing audio and MIDI.
