Systems
Basic system The MixRack (mix engine and most of the I/O) can be positioned on stage, and the Surface (control and local I/O) at the FOH mix position. A single CAT5 cable up to 120m long transports control and local audio between them using the ACE port.
Adding more control Plug into a Network port at the MixRack or Surface to add simultaneous control using one or more laptops running iLive Editor software. Use wired or plug in a router for wireless connection. Add the assignable PL Series devices for distributed control, for example personal monitoring. One or more can be daisy chained from the MixRack
Linked FOH/Monitor system Use the MixRack Port B audio network slot to create a digital mic split between two systems over a single cable, for example using the ACE or EtherSound card option. Add a network link if the two systems are to be accessed over the same network using your laptop. The network link can be tunnelled via the single cable ACE connection.
Operating without a Surface Leave your Surface at home and control iLive using just your laptop for compact or discreet mixing situations. You could add one or more PL Series controllers if you want to assign some physical control, for example important channels, DCAs or master levels.
