3.0 Front of House / Monitor Console Linking
Front of House / Monitor Console Linking allows the support of two TT24s (one in front of
house master position and the other in monitor master position) and one DS3232.
The Snake is connected to a U100 in the Monitor Master TT24 while a second U100 card in
the monitor TT24 connects to a third U100 card in the FOH Master TT24. The second slot
in the FOH TT24 can utilize any other card, such as the LP48. This allows both TT24s to use
the inputs from the DS3232 and then both TT24s can feed their outputs to the DS3232 as
well. This is accomplished via the routing pages. The terms FOH and Monitor are purely for
convenience; the roles can be reversed and the snake can be connected to the FOH console if
desired.
This confi guration could even be used with a conventional analog snake connected to one of
the consoles. In addition, linked consoles at FOH and MON and two snake confi gurations can
also be supported.
When the TT24s are linked in this fashion, the two will send signal between each other just as
they send and receive signals to and from a DS3232. This is also done from the U-Net routing
screens. Since the Monitor console is directly connected to the snake, the FOH console must
route signal to the monitor console. The monitor engineer can then route that signal on to the
snake as one of the 32 available channels using the U-Net and Output routing screens.
