The T Series MixRack is the heart of the digital audio
processing system, housing the DSP mix engine together
with control and audio networking interfaces. The 64x32
architecture 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 8 stereo FX returns add to the 64 input channels to allow
up to 72 sources to the mix. Unlike the standard iLive the
audio connections are fixed format rather than modular. The
racks differ only in the number of Mic/Line inputs and XLR
line outputs available.
iDR-48 the bigger rack: 48 Mic/Line inputs
24 XLR line outputs
iDR-32 the smaller rack: 32 Mic/Line inputs
16 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 layers providing a total of 80 or
112 control strips depending on Surface size. These
strips are freely assignable as inputs, mix masters or
DCAs in any combination. Both surfaces offer the
same control, the only difference being that the
smaller 80 does not provide the rotary control section
for the dynamics. These are accessed via the
TouchScreen on this model.
iLive-T112 the bigger surface:
28 faders = 112 strips
16 local line in = 8 TRS, 4 RCA, 2 SPDIF (digital)
14 local out = 8 TRS, 2 RCA, 1 SPDIF, Monitor
iLive-T80 the smaller surface:
20 faders = 80 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. 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.
