The iLive Surface
The iLive surface is the primary live sound mixing user interface for the iDR-64 DSP mix
engine. It connects to the Mix-Rack using CAT5 cables and is effectively part of the
distributed audio and control networks. It is supplied in a three-part, nose-cone, touring
grade flightcase on lockable castors.
All the control and system information needed by the live engineer is available at the
surface. There is a choice of surface size available offering 28, 36, or 44 faders. With 4
layers per bank of faders you get the choice of no fewer than 112, 144 or 176 control strips
freely assignable as input channels, mix masters, DCA groups and MIDI controllers. Even the
smallest footprint iLive-112 surface has enough capability to handle a fully loaded 64
channel mix.
Connections: The rear of the iLive surface has a built-in card frame for loading up to 4 IO modules, a combination of up to 32 inputs and
outputs, for local audio at the surface. The internal psu module may be supplemented with the rack mount iPS10 supply for redundant
backup. Connections include local monitor XLR outputs, 1/4" and 3.5mm headphones sockets, XLRs for an analogue PAFL monitor input
and talkback connections when EtherSound is not fitted, front and rear USB ports for memory archiving, and an external VGA screen
output. You also get a built-in 3-port Ethernet switch, MIDI and PL-Anet.
iLive is easy to operate:
Press SEL to select the channel processing. All controls are instantly available.
Press MIX to access the assignments, levels and pan for each group or mix. Press an input
channel MIX key to view the sends from that channel on the related master faders, for
example to send a vocal to a combination of monitor mixes. Press the master MIX key to
view all the sends to that mix, for example when building an in-ear monitor mix.
iLive is a modular system. It may be ordered as a standard format or
customised to your requirements. IO modules are interchangeable
between the Mix-Rack and the surface. The heart of the system is
the iDR10 Mix-Rack loaded with iDR-64 mix engine, but other
formats may be introduced in time to complement the distributed
digital audio network and control options as the system evolves. For
rental companies and hire stock, this flexibility will prove invaluable
to meet the demands of modern production. The number of
processing input channels per iDR-64 DSP engine is 64. The number
of configurable mix buses is 32.
iLive Surface
Control surface for the iDR10 Mix-Rack. The surface is shipped in a
three-part touring grade flightcase. iLve-80: 20 fader-strps / iLive-
112: 28 fader-strips / iLive-144: 36 fader-strips / iLive-176: 44
fader-strips
iPS-10 Power Supply
2U 19" rackmount back-up power supply for iLive-112/144/176.

Surface Remote Audio (RAB) Module
Required if EtherSound is used. One ES card fitted. This module is
not interchangeable with the Mix-Rack RAB module.
Surface CPU Module
Required for managing the surface and interfacing the control to the
Mix-Rack. It also provides additional Ethernet ports, MIDI and PL-
Anet interface.
Mic/Line Input Module

formats: AES3, SPDIF & optical. 32kHz to 96kHz sample rate
conversion. Check LED for active PAFL.
Line Output Module
8 electronically balanced XLR line outputs with Mute status LED, and
check LED for active PAFL per channel.
Digital Output Module
8 channels arranged as 4 stereo digital outputs simultaneously
available on 3 formats: AES3, SPDIF & Optical. Mute status LED, and
check LED for active PAFL per channel.
iDR10 Rack
19” rackmount unit supplied in shock-mounted inner frame in touring
grade flightcase. 10 option slots for I/O modules + RAB, DSP, and
CPU modules.
iDR10 PSU (module option)
One or two psu modules may be fitted to the rear of the iDR10 Mix-
Rack
iDR-64 DSP Module
DSP mix engine has 64 processing input channels and 32
configurable mix bus channels plus additional DSP for the optional
output and effects processing.
Mix-Rack CPU module
Required for managing the Mix-Rack and interfacing the control from
the surface. It also provides additional Ethernet ports, MIDI and PL-
Anet interface. A lamp socket is included.
Mix-Rack Remote Audio (RAB) Module
Required for managing the system clocks, headphones and optional
network audio cards. A DARS (digital audio reference signal) output
is provided. This module is not interchangeable with the surface RAB
module.
EtherSound A (ESA) card option
May be fitted to the Mix-Rack RAB module to provide the EtherSound
remote audio to/from the surface and other EtherSound compatible
devices.
EtherSound B (ESB) card option
May be fitted to the Mix-Rack RAB module to provide the EtherSound
system expansion including 64 channel mic split or expanding to
128 inputs. May also be used for multitrack recording.
