Mackie TT24 Tech Note Wireless Remote Control

Wireless Remote Control of the TT24

Updated: 7/20/04 by Benjamin® Olswang

The TT24 includes a powerful piece of software called TT Control. With this software, you can monitor and control the TT24 console from a PC attached via USB.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could use TT Control wirelessly?

Well you can, it’s easy, and this is what you will need:

System Requirements

• A TT24

• A local PC (called the host) connected to your TT24 via USB. This computer must be running Windows® XP® Professional, and have wireless capabilities.

• A PC laptop (called the client) with wireless capabilities. This computer must be running Windows 95® or later.

• A properly conﬁ gured wireless network.

Now on to the fun stuff…
