JBL INTONATO 24 24-Channel Monitor Management Tuning System

JBL Professional Intonato 24 - 24-channel monitor tuning and management system with automatic calibration, BLU link and Dante (optional)

The JBL Intonato 24 is a 2U professional processor that centralizes the management, control and calibration of monitor systems with up to 24 speakers in stereo, surround or immersive configurations. It combines 24 analog inputs , 24 AES3 inputs and up to 256 networked audio channels via HARMAN BLU link (and Dante/AES67 via optional BLUDAN interface), with 24 analog outputs and simultaneous output via BLU link to Crown amplifiers or other compatible devices. The system incorporates automatic calibration with included microphone , 12 bands of Room EQ , 8 bands of User EQ , subwoofer management and delays per speaker, to deliver a neutral and consistent response at the mixing position.

Thanks to its internal router/mixer , the Intonato 24 allows you to create profiles and scenes with custom downmixing , source selection, speaker mute/solo , master volume control, and monitor section functions. Control is via software for macOS, Windows, and iOS/Android tablets , or with the Intonato DC-M desktop controller (accessory), which is powered by PoE . Its low-noise ventilation makes it suitable for control rooms and post-production.

Main features

• 24 channels of management for stereo, 5.1/7.1 and immersive systems with up to 4 subwoofers for LFE and bass management .
• Inputs : 24 balanced analog ( DB25 ), 24 AES3 (with 8 selectable SRC ) and up to 256 via BLU link ; Word Clock (BNC) and XLR microphone with +48 V for calibration/talkback.
• Outputs : 24 balanced analog ( DB25 ) and simultaneous BLU link (2 × RJ45) for HARMAN networks.
• Automatic calibration with included microphone: level, arrival time and 12× Room EQ per speaker.
• 8-band user EQ per speaker for standard (e.g., X-Curve ) or custom curves, and perforated screen compensation.
• Internal router/mixer with configurable downmix , scenes and profiles with instant recall .
• Stereo aux with level control, EQ and talkback system to send independent mix to talent or adjoining room.
• 32-bit floating-point processing ; 24-bit converters; 20 Hz–20 kHz response (+0/−0.5 dB) and THD+N 0.007% typical.
• Supported sampling rates : 44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz (32–192 kHz are accepted with SRC in AES C); Word Clock 44.1–96 kHz.
• Network control (Ethernet DHCP) with apps for macOS/Windows/iOS/Android and support for Intonato DC-M (PoE).

Product benefits

• Room consistency : Automatic calibration and per-speaker EQ normalize room response and speed up tuning.
• Agile workflow : Scenes and profiles allow you to switch between projects, formats, and downmixes without reconfiguring.
• Maximum connectivity : analog, AES3, BLU link and Dante/AES67 option cover everything from modern interfaces to network infrastructures.
• Scalability : Manage up to 24 monitors with native subwoofer integration and global A/V Sync for video.
• Clean and quiet installation : 2U rack space, low-noise fan and DB25 outputs facilitate professional cabling.

Use cases

• Music , post-production , and broadcast control rooms that work in stereo, 5.1/7.1, and immersive formats.
• Educational and corporate studies that require repeatable monitoring recipes across multiple projects and users.
• Installations with Crown amplification and BLU link network; migrations to Dante/AES67 via BLUDAN interface.

Integration and workflow

• Analog inputs with connector-selectable sensitivity ( −10 dBV , +4 dBu , +8 dBu ) and gain trims with level indicators.
• Delays : Up to 18 ms per output for time alignment; Global A/V Sync up to 150 ms ; Aux with independent delay.
• BLU link : 2 × RJ45 (48/96 kHz bus) with latencies of 0.23/0.11 ms; mirror output of the 24 analog outputs.
• Storable scenes (up to 30 per profile ) for source selection, downmix , alternate monitors, and speaker mute/solo .

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use any studio monitor? Yes, the system is compatible with active or passive monitors (the latter via a power amp).
• Do I need Dante? Only if your infrastructure requires it: add the BSS BLUDAN interface to convert BLU link to Dante/AES67 .
• Is the calibration microphone included? Yes, along with the power cables and the startup guide.
