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 PL-Anet
port, or distributed via a PL-9 hub. Further
control is possible via MIDI.
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.
