An Introduction to iLive
Surface
  The Surface is simply a controller for the MixRack. It has an easy to use interface for live sound mixing. There is a choice of 6 surface models available. Each has local audio I/O connections available. The four iLive surfaces have a built-in card frame to load a combination of up to four 8way input or output modules. The two T Series surfaces have a fixed I/O format as detailed below.

The Surface is arranged in BANKS of fader strips with 4 LAYERS per bank. The function of each strip is configurable as an input, master, DCA or engineer's wedge/IEM monitor.

Access the big analogue style processing section for each channel using its SEL key. Access the mix sends and assignments using the MIX keys. Access system setup using the TouchScreen . Most live mixing functions do not rely on the screen although it can give you an alternative graphical view of the parameters.

iLive-176 - The largest surface with 44 faders arranged in 3 banks of 24,12, 8. With 4 layers per bank it provides 176 control strips. 4 way modular I/O card frame built in.

iLive-144 - The ‘standard’ iLive surface with 36 faders in 3 banks of 16, 12, 8. Its 4 layers per bank provide 144 control strips. 4 way modular I/O card frame built in.

iLive-112 - A more compact iLive surface with 28 faders in 3 banks of 12, 8, 8. Its 4 layers per bank provide 112 control strips. 4 way modular I/O card frame built in.

iLive-80 - The smallest iLive surface with 20 faders in 2 banks of 12, 8. With 4 layers per bank it still provides 80 control strips. Due to its compact footprint the compressor, gate, limiter controls are accessed via TouchScreen only on this model. 4 way modular I/O card frame built in.

iLive-T112 - The larger of the two T Series surfaces available. It has the same layout as the standard iLive-112 but with fixed format IO including 16 line inputs (8 TRS, 4 phono and 2 SPDIF) and 12 line outputs (8 TRS, 2 phono and 1 SPDIF).

iLive-T80 - The smaller of the two T Series surfaces available. It has the same layout as the standard iLive-80 but with fixed format IO including 8 line inputs (4 TRS, 2 phono and 1 SPDIF) and 8 line outputs (4 TRS, 2 phono and 1 SPDIF).
