iLive Fixed Format Getting Started Guide 5 AP7141 iss.2
Introduction
The fixed format iLive is an evolution of the flagship modular iLive digital live mixing range with all the
performance and power of its bigger brother in a compact and affordable, easy to use package. It
separates the DSP mix engine from the control surface allowing the rack to be positioned on stage and
the surface at the FOH (front of house) mix position, linked by a single long distance CAT5 cable carrying
control and local FOH audio between them. The fixed format iLive Series comprises 3 sizes of rack and 3
surfaces with non-modular audio I/O giving the user a choice of system according to budget or
application. The iLive-R72 Surface can be rack mounted providing all the power of a much bigger system
in a compact package. These are also compatible with the modular rack and surface options available
within the standard iLive range, perfect for rental companies who may stock both.
Ethernet allows additional or alternative control using wired or wireless laptops running the iLive Editor
software. An audio networking slot provides the option to interface with industry standard networks such
as EtherSound or MADI, create a digital mic splitter to link FOH/Monitor systems, connect to digital
multitrack recorders, personal monitor systems and more. Further control possibilities include MIDI and
the Allen & Heath range of PL Series remote controllers. iLive is fully configurable – the 64x32 mix
architecture can be assigned as any combination of mono or stereo groups / auxes / FX / main mix / and
matrix, the surface fader strips arranged with any channel or master assigned anywhere to suit your way
of mixing, channels and masters named and coloured, physical and network sockets patched, soft keys
and PL remote devices assigned… In fact, you can design your own mixer! Settings can be stored in
various memory types, and transferred between systems or archived to computer using a USB key.
The iLive is the perfect introduction to digital mixing for new users or operators familiar with analogue
consoles. Its analogue style control interface and extensive visual feedback make it quick to learn,
reduce operator errors, and allow the fast access most important to live sound mixing.
This guide takes you through the quick first steps in learning to use iLive. A little time spent during a quiet
moment pressing buttons and navigating through the various screens should help you become familiar
with its more advanced features and capabilities. Refer also to our web site and the other user guides
and resources available for the iLive family.
