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 DSP 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 8FX returns add
to the 64 channels providing 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.
iDR-64
Biggest rack:
64 Mic/Line inputs 9U
32 XLR line outputs
iDR-48
Standard rack: 48 Mic/Line inputs 8U
24 XLR line outputs
iDR-32
Mid sized rack: 32 Mic/Line inputs 6U
16 XLR line outputs
iDR-16
Smallest rack: 16 Mic/Line inputs 3U
8 XLR line outputs
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-T112
Biggest surface:
28 faders, 4 layers = 112 strips
16 local line in = 8 TRS, 4 RCA, 2 SPDIF
14 local out = 8 TRS, 2 RCA, 1 SPDIF, Monitor
iLive-T80
Mid 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-R72
Smallest 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.
