ALLEN&HEATH iLive Reference Guide AP6526 iss.3 47
Output Sources The user assigned name is displayed below the channel
number. If a channel is not available a red cross appears.
Note: If sockets have been assigned as INSERT Sends then they are not
available to be assigned using the OUTPUTS page. To re-use the socket,
first unassign it using the INSERT screen associated with that input or mix.
Choose the Source from:
Not Patched The socket is unassigned. No signal present.
Mono or Stereo Group Post processing, post fader Group mix
output.
Mono or Stereo Aux Post processing, post fader Aux mix
output.
Main Post processing, post fader Main mix output. The channel
number ranges from 1 to 4 and depends on the main mix currently
configured, for example LCRSub type 1=L, 2=R, 3=C, 4=Sub.
Mono or Stereo Matrix Post processing, post fader Matrix mix
output.
Input Direct Output From the assigned channel number. The
direct output source is globally set in the MIXRACK / Mixer Pref /
Direct Output page. You can choose the point in the signal path and
whether it follows the channel MUTE and FADER functions. It is
common to assign channel direct outputs to multitrack inputs when
recording a live show typically set Post Preamp.
MixRack inputs This routes the output of the MixRack input
preamps directly to the output sockets. The signal is sourced just
after the ADC converter and before the channel processing. For
example, use these sources to provide a digital mic splitter via Port B
for FOH/Monitor mixing, or to record directly off the mic preamps.
Note: For firmware current at the time of printing this guide, the
Surface inputs are not available as sources. Use the Input Direct
Outputs to access these signals.
Bus Outs Assign the pre fader, pre processing mix signals to the
sockets. For example, use these sources when linking two systems
together to expand the number of inputs feeding the mix.
Note: For firmware current at the time of printing this guide,
channel expansion by connecting 2 racks to 1 surface is not yet
supported. This is planned for a future firmware release.
Port A / B sources Assign signals directly from the Port A or B
digital audio network options to the sockets. For example, route the
Main mix from the FOH system to sockets on the Monitor System
Rack over the Port B split.
PAFL L/R Output from the system stereo PAFL monitor. Assign to
a pair of MixRack sockets to connect to the Surface headphones/local
monitor system using analogue cables when an iLive system does
not have the Port A option fitted. The rear of the iLive Surface
provides analogue monitor input sockets for this purpose. These are
not available on the T Series.
Mono or Stereo Wedge / IEM Routes PAFL monitor signals
controlled by Wedge or IEM master strips to the sockets. Used for
the monitor application.
