C|24 incorporates the latest advancements in Pro Tools software, making it an incredibly powerful ? and affordable ? control surface option for Pro Tools users.

Total Hands-On Control

C|24 provides direct hands-on access to recording, editing, routing, and mixing functions in Pro Tools software. The control surface features 24 bankable channel strips, each with a touch-sensitive, motorized fader; motion-sensitive rotary encoder and LED ring; dedicated Mute, Solo, and channel select illuminated switches; and dedicated Input, Record, EQ, Dynamics, Insert, Send, and Automation switches. Forget the time-consuming tedium of recording and mixing with a mouse; with C|24, you can ride volume across multiple faders, mute multiple tracks all at once, insert and control plug-ins right from the control surface, and automate your mix maneuvers without pointing and clicking. The bright, easy-to-read, dual-row LED scribble strips provide instant visual feedback for channel names, plug-in parameters, sends, panning, and other editing functions.

High-Quality Analog Inputs and Monitoring

C|24 isn?t just about controlling tracks; it offers high-quality analog inputs and outputs too. Connect mics, instruments, and line-level devices directly to the 16 high-quality, low-noise mic/line/DI preamps, which feature high-pass filters and variable input gain. The control surface also features an 8 x 2 stereo line submixer, which can be routed directly to the professional, integrated 5.1 surround analog monitor section, which offers trimmable inputs and outputs. Plus, the built-in talkback mic and remote talkback and listenback inputs make it easy to set up two-way communication for your recording sessions.

Beautiful, Streamlined Design

Sporting a sleek, industrial design with a stylish, dark graphite color scheme, C|24 fits right in with traditional and modern music and post-production studios. The control surface features an intelligent switch layout with bold graphics, making the layout easy to memorize and navigate, and a comfortable front bolster. And the low-profile meterbridge allows for better placement of your computer monitor and speakers.
