The iLive System |
iLive is a modular system for live sound mixing. It separates the control surface from the audio processing rack and allows distributed network control and audio using CAT5 cables. It has a flexible bus architecture and assignable user interface for easy configuration to match each application.
The MixRack is the heart of the system with a 64x32 DSP mix architecture, Ethernet control and options for digital audio networking in a 19” rack frame. Most of the audio is connected at the MixRack near to the sources. The Surface is a ‘controller’ that allows remote control of the MixRack and other components in the system. It also provides connections for local I/O needed at the mix position, interfacing with the MixRack over EtherSound or the Allen & Heath ACE audio network. iLive and iLive-T Series are compatible and offer a choice of 4 versions of MixRack and 6 versions of Surface. Systems may be linked for FOH/Monitor operation, and further remote control is possible using MIDI, Allen & Heath PL-Anet devices and laptops running iLive Editor online/offline software. |
