Digidesign C|24 question

[Neovo417]

I was looking at the C|24 and was wondering if you can use the SubMixer section the same as the the preamp section. On the website it says its a 24 track controller but the back only has 16 mic preamps multipin things, and can you use it as a live mixer and use the moniter outs to the P.A.

The C24 is a dedicated controller, it's simply not designed to be used the way you indicate.

The submixer allows 16 inputs to be fed through the C24's outputs, but they have no controls beyond the input gain.

The 16 mic pre's feed to Protools via the interface (usually a 192), but can't feed the outputs.

It's a control surface, not a live desk.
