DIGITAL MULTI OUT part M-MULTI-OUT-A

This module provides 16 outputs and therefore uses two
slots at the MixRack or Surface. Use the iLive OUTPUTS
patch bay to map any signal to any output socket. The
module presents these outputs simultaneously to a variety of
different multi-channel digital formats:
ADAT There are two ADAT optical light pipe outputs, each
carrying 8 audio channels. Use these to connect to ADAT
equipped devices such as multitrack recorders.
Note: One module allows up to 16 tracks of recording. Fit
two for 24 or 32 tracks. Note that you can fit only one MULTI
OUT module to the iLive Surface in slots A and B. This
provides up to 16 tracks at the surface. For multitrack
recording up to 64 tracks consider using a PC fitted with the
optional Digigram LX6464ES EtherSound PCI card
interfaced to the MixRack via the ESB option. For more
information see www.digigram.com/products/
iDR Expander Two 8 channel proprietary iDR expander
ports are provided. Connect these to Allen & Heath iDR
output expander units (part of the iDR installation range) for
remote analogue balanced XLR line outputs up to 300
metres (900 feet) away using two CAT5 cables per unit. The
DR-LINK cables carry the control to these units.
AVIOM An Aviom compatible interface is provided to feed
the 16 channels of an Aviom personal monitor mixing
system, popular with many live mixing installations such as
houses of worship. Connect OUT to the Aviom system using
a CAT5 cable. IN allows expansion to add another 16
external signals to the feed. Signals may be configured for
mono or stereo operation within the iLive operating system.
For more information about the Aviom system see web site

HearBus OUT The module also supports the Hear
Technologies Hear Back personal monitoring system which
distributes up to 8 signals using a single CAT5 cable. For
more information see web site

CHK Yellow indicator follows the PAFL function. It lights
when the signal associated with the output is currently being
PAFL’d at the surface or PC. This provides a quick way to
check the socket patching, for example to identify which
signals are feeding each channel of a personal monitoring
system.
MUTE A red LED lights when the output is muted.
