The new iLive affordable digital console range with large-scale system distribution and configuration possibilities now brings an intuitive, analogue feel to digital mixing. The heart of the system is the iDR-64, a 19" rack mounting modular mix engine providing 64 channels and 32 mixes which can be assigned as auxes, groups, matrix and main (selectable from mono through to LCR with sub). The iDR-64 rack is a standalone mixing system in its own right, putting the audio and its DSP processing right where it is needed on the stage. Available in three sizes, the iLive-112, iLive-144, and the iLive-176, the operating surface is structured to reflect the feel of an analogue console, with an intuitive layout for quick access. The custom LCD backlit color display above each fader replaces the traditional write-on strip, providing channel name and information, allowing the engineer to easily identify strip types or highlight important channels when mixing.
