PFL/AFL mode keys Master keys to the right of the strips select the
function of the PAFL keys to be PFL (pre-fade listen) or AFL (after-fade listen).
Signals are monitored in mono or stereo depending on their configuration.
AFL is pre-mute so you can check it before sending it, and ‘stereo in-place’ so
you can check it after the pan and image controls. The function can be set
independently for the input channels and mix master outputs. Normal setting
is PFL for the inputs (check the signals before you bring up the faders), and
AFL for the outputs (check the signals being sent from the console).
PAFL meters Displays the level of the selected PAFL source. Separate
meters for the left and right signals of a stereo source. Mono signals are
displayed equally on both meters.
PAFL active indicators These light when one or more PAFL keys is
selected. There are separate indicators for active input or output.
CLEAR ALL key Press to clear the current PAFL selections. If both a
channel PAFL and a mix master PAFL are active, then press once to clear the
channel PAFL and twice to also clear the master PAFL.
PHONES level control Adjusts the level of the monitored signal in the
engineer’s headphones.
LOCAL level control Adjusts the level of the monitored signal sent to the
Surface rear panel LOCAL MONITOR outputs.
MONO switch Sums left and right signals in the headphones and local
monitor outputs.
PHONES sockets Two headphones sockets are provided at the front of
the iLive Surface under the armrest, or on the right hand side of the T Series
Surface. One is a standard ¼”, the other a 3.5mm mini-jack ideal for plugging
in a headset or ear piece equipped with the smaller jack. Both may be
plugged at the same time.
LOCAL MONITOR output A pair of balanced, line level XLR
connections on the rear of the iLive Surface, or TRS jacks on the rear of the T
Series lets you connect an amplifier or powered speakers as a local monitor.
Solo-in-Place (SIP)
The iLive SIP system lets you listen to the contribution of single channels in the
main mix by muting all other channels. It does this using the channel MUTE
keys.
SIP is protected from accidental operation while mixing live by requiring a two
key press to enter the SIP mode. Hold down the blue
SIP SAFES key and
then press SIP. To exit SIP mode simply press SIP.
To make selected input channels and masters safe from SIP so that they are
not muted when a channel is soloed, hold down the SIP SAFES key and press
the associated strip MIX keys. The strip LCD SAFE icon displays for channels
made safe while in SIP mode. It is typical to make the main mix, monitor and
FX sends and FX returns safe in this way. Press CLEAR ALL to clear the SIP
selection while in this mode.
Note: SIP is known as ‘destructive’ as it affects the main FOH mix. It is
intended for use during rehearsal or sound check only. For standard signal
monitoring use the system PAFL function.
