Introduction

   

The 

PL-6

 is one of several remote control devices available for the 

iDR-4

/

8

 audio mix processor 

and 

iLive

 mixing systems.  It is part of the Allen & Heath 

PL Series

 of wall plates and remote controllers.  It can be 

mounted into a plinth or custom furniture, or used free standing.  A suitable template with cutting details is provided for 
custom application.  The 

PL-6

 interfaces with the Allen & Heath PL-Anet serial port.  Multiple 

PL-6

 units can be daisy 

chained together along with other PL-Anet devices using CAT5 cable.  A terminator is provided for plugging into the 
last unit in the chain.  For information on the full range of 

PL

 products available visit http://www.allen-heath.com.  The 

PL-6

 control and indicator functions are programmed using the iDR System Manager software, or the iLive Surface 

TouchScreen or Editor software.  Space is provided next to the controls for custom labelling.  The 

PL-6

 is ideal as a 

remote mix controller, for example as a simple operator controlled fader panel in an installed sound system, or as a 
personal musicians on-stage mix controller with in-ear monitors.  The installer can program the unit according to the 
requirements of the application, providing the degree of control needed by the day to day operator. 

8 Faders

 can be configured individually for input, output, group or crosspoint level control or monitor level.  Minimum 

and maximum ranges can be set.  

16 Switches

, arranged as two per fader, can be configured as combinations of level 

up/down, mute toggle, polarity toggle, audio monitor select, or preset recall.  

24 LED indicators

, arranged as three per 

fader, can be configured as combinations of 3 colour signal meters, mute status, or preset related 3 colour LED 
indication.  Controls can be configured as unused if not required.  A single 3 colour 

Status LED

 displays PL-Anet 

power and communication status.  

Custom labels

 can be fitted into the recessed areas provided.  Recommended 

height is 6mm.
