INTONATO | 24 Operation Manual
Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the JBL®Intonato 24 Monitor Management Tuning System. The Intonato
24 is a powerful, sophisticated speaker management processor and monitor controller for audio
recording, post production, and broadcast facilities. With support for mono to immersive surround
formats, the Intonato 24 provides the centerpiece for a scalable audio production monitoring system.
Supported Formats
The Intonato 24 can be configured for mono, stereo, 5.1, 7.1, and greater surround systems,
including burgeoning immersive audio production formats such as Dolby®Atmos®, Barco®Auro,
DTS:X™, and others that use overhead or height surround speakers. Up to 4 subwoofers are
supported, with LFE capabilities, assignable bass management for each satellite speaker, and global
bass management on/off control. Fully customizable downmixing with adjustable downmixing levels is
also supported, allowing various downmix formats to be recalled using scenes.
Inputs
The Intonato 24 can accept up to 24 simultaneous source inputs from various combinations of the 24
line-level analog, 24 digital AES, and 24 BLU link input channels. AES Input C has selectable sample
rate conversion (SRC), which can be enabled when connecting digital devices synchronized from
different clocks (such as their own).
Outputs
Up to 24 line-level analog outputs are available for connecting to the amplifiers. Or, up to 24 BLU link
output channels can be routed to BLU link-equipped amplifiers, such as the Crown Audio®DCi N
models. Two independently adjustable delays are also provided to synchronize the monitor system
and talent headphone mix to video displays and restore “lip synchronization”.
Mic Input and Stereo Aux Output
The Intonato 24’s XLR mic input can be used for both calibrating the system and for talkback
communication during recording sessions. The stereo aux output (channels 23 and 24 when
configured) carries the talkback signal and supports channel downmixing, making it perfect for
recording voiceover or automatic dialog replacement (ADR) for surround-formatted projects.
Conguration and Control
The Intonato 24 can be configured and controlled from a compatible Windows®, Mac®, iOS®, or
Android™device using the free JBL Intonato control app. Network control can be established by
connecting to a DHCP-enabled network via a wired computer connection or a Wi-Fi router and Wi-
Fi-equipped device. User control is also available using the dedicated Intonato DC desktop controller
(sold separately).
The Intonato 24 offers six different speaker layout configuration types and works on the principle of
creating a profile for a given type of session, then creating and storing scenes to the profile for later
recall by the studio engineer.
A profile contains all the configuration settings for a given type of session. Up to 30 profiles can be
stored. Scenes contain the various states the studio engineer will need to recall during a session
(source/speaker monitor selection, fold-down mixes, etc.). Up to 30 scenes can be stored to each
profile.
Within scenes, audio inputs can be routed or mixed to outputs with their levels adjusted as necessary.
This provides a great deal of audio routing flexibility to suit the application.

Page 2 INTONATO | 24 Operation Manual
Introduction
For the studio engineer, the Intonato 24 provides master mute, dim, and monitor volume control, as
well as individual speaker mute/solo control, and monitor SPL indication.
Integrated Auto-Calibration System
The Intonato 24 includes a sophisticated auto-calibration system that leverages JBL’s decades of
experience integrating speaker systems into real-world production environments. Based on JBL’s
proprietary software used to measure acoustics during product development, the Intonato 24
incorporates a powerful hardware-based DSP solution designed to produce a “tuned” monitoring
environment that delivers greater accuracy in a broad range of environments.
Using the supplied calibration microphone, the Intonato 24 analyzes the system performance in the
monitoring environment and automatically matches the level, “time-of-arrival” delay, and frequency
response of all speakers. Furthermore, an infinite number of mic position measurements can be taken
to provide an averaged room frequency response, for very complex yet fast and accurate room EQ
calibration.
Differing distances in speaker placement can prevent correlated signals from summing properly at the
mix position. The Intonato 24’s auto-calibration system ensures the output and “time of arrival” of all
speakers is carefully matched. The auto-calibration system measures the level and time of arrival of
each speaker, and applies the precise amount of attenuation and delay to all speakers to match that
of the most distant speaker.
In the low frequencies, the room is in control. Place a speaker in different places in the room and you
will hear differences in low-frequency response. Although a speaker may deliver neutral frequency
response on-axis in an anechoic environment, when measured at the mix position the response is
altered by the interaction of the loudspeaker and the production environment.
“Room modes” or “standing waves” (low-frequency resonance caused by the geometry and
construction of the room) can augment and attenuate low-frequency response, creating a false
impression of bass at the listening position. This issue can result in mixes that are bass-light or bass-
heavy when auditioned on systems outside the control room.
During the auto-calibration process, the Intonato 24 measures the low-frequency response delivered
by each speaker and applies settings to tackle effects of low-frequency resonance. Additionally the
system identifies and neutralizes response anomalies caused by the speaker’s proximity to the room’s
walls or work surface. The system is designed to identify low-frequency resonance and boundary
issues below 500Hz and adjust the “Room EQ” to provide flat low-frequency response from all
speakers. In our experience, the desired low-frequency curve varies according to room size and
material.
Once system calibration is complete, the Intonato 24’s “User EQ” allows the system’s frequency
response to be tailored according to preference—for example, to compensate for perforated-screen
transmission loss, or to create the X Curve or another custom frequency-response contour.

About Speaker Layouts, Proles, and Scenes
Profiles and scenes are stored to the speaker layout type selected during configuration. Up to 30
profiles can be stored to each of the six speaker layout types, and up to 30 scenes can be stored to
each of the 30 profiles (see illustration below). Although it is not typical to change the speaker layout
type once configured, unless the speaker system is being upgraded, this does provide a means to
retain profile and scene settings if the speaker layout type is changed.
NOTE: Profiles and scenes cannot be transferred between speaker layout types.

The table below shows the settings stored to the speaker layout, profiles, and scenes, and which
settings are persistent (their state/value doesn’t change as profiles and scenes are recalled, but will be
defaulted if another speaker layout type is loaded or the unit is power cycled).

About the Aux Outputs
When speaker layout 2, 4, or 6 is selected, Intonato 24 output channels 23 and 24 are configured
to provide a stereo auxiliary feed, which can be connected to an external headphone amplifier for
recording sessions (for example, during voiceover or ADR recording sessions in an editing facility
where a mixing console is not available). The feed can also be used to send a mix to a pair of
speakers in a remote location.
A 24 x 2 mixer allows any combination of inputs to be mixed to the stereo aux output, including
downmixed surround mixes. The stereo aux output has its own level control, 3-band EQ, and AV
delay to restore “lip synchronization” with video displays.
Additionally, the XLR mic input is routed to the aux outputs and becomes active when the Talkback
button is pressed. Input 24 will automatically be switched to carry the signal from the XLR mic input.
The talkback input assignment is fixed and cannot be changed. The XLR mic input gain is fixed at 30
dB.

Conguring Inputs
Once the speaker layout type has been selected, it’s time to configure the inputs for the application.
The inputs can be configured by selecting Edit Settings from the Main User Menu. The Input
Configuration screen is the first screen displayed from this menu.
Information and Navigation Bar
The bar across the top of the screen provides important feedback and access to navigation and
is available on most screens. Press the icon in the upper left-hand corner to access the Main User
Menu and navigate the various screens. The title of the current screen is displayed in the middle of the
bar. In the upper right-hand corner, the currently loaded profile and scene preset are displayed. If an
asterisk appears next to the profile or scene preset, this indicates it has been edited from the stored
values. The information icon accesses the application’s contextual help. The speaker icon can be
used to mute all outputs (with the exception of the stereo aux output).
Input Connector
From these dropdown menus, select the desired physical input to route to each corresponding
Intonato 24 input channel. There is no limitation on the mix of Analog, AES, and BLU link inputs; they
can be assigned in any order.
Input Group
Select from the 12 options available in this dropdown menu to visually group input channels by color.
Input Name
These fields allow inputs to be named to suit the application, which will simplify configuration and
operation.
Input LFE
Check any of these boxes to identify the corresponding input as an LFE channel. When checked, the

Page 18 INTONATO | 24 Operation Manual
Using the Intonato 24 Control App
input channel will be routed through the LFE low-pass filter and on to the subwoofer outputs. Any
number of inputs can be designated as LFE input channels.
NOTE: Ensure subwoofers are set to LFE mode, if applicable.
NOTE: The LFE signal level must also be set in the Scene Builder screen to feed the LFE input
signal to the subwoofer(s). See “Creating Scenes” on page 36 for information on using the Scene
Builder.
Input Trim
Adjust these fields to trim the incoming signal level for each channel. The range is -100 to +10 dB.
Input Level
These readouts display real-time input signal level for each channel.
Master Section Tab
The tab on the right shows or hides the master section controls.
