System components

The MixRack is the heart of the digital audio processing system, housing the 64x32 DSP mix engine together with control and audio networking interfaces. The 64x32 architecture can be configured for mono/stereo and type of mix (group, aux, mains, matrix). The system provides full dynamics, EQ and delay processing for all inputs and masters, 8 built-in ‘RackExtra’ effects and 16 DCA groups. The FX returns add to the 64 input channels to allow up to 72 sources to the mix. All racks provide the full 64x32 DSP processing and differ only in the number of Mic/Line inputs and XLR line outputs available. The Port B option allows digital mic splitting and system expansion from a choice of audio networking cards.

The Surface is simply a network controller for the MixRack. It has a built-in interface for local audio which is transported to and from the MixRack via the ACE connection along with the Ethernet control. Each bank of faders has 4 or 6 layers providing a total of 72, 80 or 112 control strips depending on Surface size. These strips are freely assignable as inputs, mix masters or DCAs in any combination. The Surfaces offer the same control, the difference being a reduced rotary control section for the smaller models. All processing is available using the TouchScreen.

iLive-T112Biggest surface:

28 faders, 4 layers = 112 strips

16 local line in = 8 TRS, 4 RCA, 2 SPDIF (digital) 14 local out = 8 TRS, 2 RCA, 1 SPDIF, Monitor

iLive-T80Mid sized surface:

20 faders, 4 layers = 80 strips

8 local line in = 4 TRS, 2 RCA, 1 SPDIF

10 local out = 4 TRS, 2 RCA, 1 SPDIF, Monitor

iLive-T80Smallest surface:

12 faders, 6 layers = 72 strips

8 local line in = 4 TRS, 2 RCA, 1 SPDIF

10 local out = 4 TRS, 2 RCA, 1 SPDIF, Monitor

PL Series controllers A range of remote controllers is available with assignable switches, LEDs, encoders and faders. A PL-8 4in/4out GPIO controller is also available. These connect to the MixRack via the PL- Anet serial port using CAT5 cable and can be configured using the Surface or laptop. The PL-9 hub is allows star point instead of daisy chain connection. More information on the PL Series is available on the Allen & Heath web site.
