Do a search. I have ordered my Control 24 and am waiting to receive it.

Basically the ethernet transmits control language back and forth from protools, that's it.

The preamp section is standalone and does not transmit through ethernet, but through two db-25
connectors on the back, almost like direct outs on an analog console. Mic-pre to output with a
gain control thrown in.

So to answer your question, the first 8 channels from the C24 would go into the 8 analog in's on the
002R, and then you could use an 8 channel lightpipe converter box for the other 8 channels, total
of 16 in's. Or..you could use the 002r's built in preamps (4) and 14 of the control 24 preamps to
the 002R (4 analog, 8 optical, and 2 spdif), with a spdif 2 channel converter box of course.
