Introduction
The fixed format iLive is an evolution of the flagship modular iLive digital live mixing range with all the performance and power of its bigger brother in a compact and affordable, easy to use package. It separates the DSP mix engine from the control surface allowing the rack to be positioned on stage and the surface at the FOH (front of house) mix position, linked by a single long distance CAT5 cable carrying control and local FOH audio between them. The fixed format iLive Series comprises 3 sizes of rack and 3 surfaces with
Ethernet allows additional or alternative control using wired or wireless laptops running the iLive Editor software. An audio networking slot provides the option to interface with industry standard networks such as EtherSound or MADI, create a digital mic splitter to link FOH/Monitor systems, connect to digital multitrack recorders, personal monitor systems and more. Further control possibilities include MIDI and the Allen & Heath range of PL Series remote controllers. iLive is fully configurable – the 64x32 mix architecture can be assigned as any combination of mono or stereo groups / auxes / FX / main mix / and matrix, the surface fader strips arranged with any channel or master assigned anywhere to suit your way of mixing, channels and masters named and coloured, physical and network sockets patched, soft keys and PL remote devices assigned… In fact, you can design your own mixer! Settings can be stored in various memory types, and transferred between systems or archived to computer using a USB key.
The iLive is the perfect introduction to digital mixing for new users or operators familiar with analogue consoles. Its analogue style control interface and extensive visual feedback make it quick to learn, reduce operator errors, and allow the fast access most important to live sound mixing.
