Modular iLive system components
iDR10 MixRack
The MixRack is the heart of
the digital audio processing system. It houses the
DSP mix engine together with control and audio
networking interfaces. The 64 input x 32 bus
architecture is fully configurable for mono/stereo
and type of mix. It is known as the iDR10 because it
has 10 card slots for fitting any combination of input
and output modules.
iDR0 MiniRack
The MiniRack is similar to the
iDR10 MixRack except it does not have any card
slots for input or output modules. Instead it gets its
audio via the EtherSound network. It can be used
as the slave mix engine in an FOH/Monitor system
with digital mic split, or as a compact mixer with an
iLive modular Surface using the audio I/O in the
back of the Surface.
iLive Surface
There are 4 sizes of modular
control surface available with up to 44 faders. These
are arranged in banks with 4 layers each. The
modular surface has a 4 slot card frame built in to load
up to 4x 8 channel input or output modules for local
I/O.
iLive Flightcases
iLive modular systems can
be ordered with touring grade flightcases. These have
wheels with brakes. The MixRack case uses rubber
shock mounts to protect the rack and has front and
rear covers. The surface case is a three part design.
The surface may be operated while in its base.
CAT5 Cables
iLive is shipped with short
CAT5 cables with locking Neutrik connectors to
connect the rack and surface. An optional 80m
(262’) drum of armoured CAT5 cable is
available from Allen & Heath. Two cables are
required if the system uses EtherSound as the
digital audio connection. One drum is required
if it uses the Allen & Heath ACE
TM
connection.
LEDlamp
4-pin XLR gooseneck
LED lamp with built-in dimmer. Each
modular Surface has 3 lamp sockets
except the iLive-80 which has 2.
PL Series Remotes
iLive is
designed to work with the Allen & Heath
PL Series remote controllers. Several
different models are available. Each
control and indicator can be
programmed from the Surface or using
the Editor software.
iLive System Manager
PC
and MAC software for using a PC,
laptop or touch tablet to control the
iLive system or edit its settings off line.
TCP/IP Ethernet connection allows
wired or wireless control with or
without a Surface connected.
iPS10 Backup PSU
Rack mounted external
power supply to provide redundant backup for the
iLive modular Surface or iDR0 MiniRack.
