Delay
A delay module is included on all input and mix channels for time-alignment and compensation applications. Input delay adds the ability to align the speakers to an acoustically dominant source on stage such as a drum kit, or for improved clarity in theatre show reinforcement. Parameters can be displayed as time or distance, and even provides temperature compensation.
The delay is accessed from the channel thumbnail view in the Touch-Screen.

Graphic Equaliser

A third octave graphic EQ is provided on every mix channel, giving you an impressive total of up to 32 equalisers. The 25 bands provide standard ISO frequencies from 63Hz to 16kHz. Settings can be adjusted using the Touch-Screen, or flipped to the faders for quicker, more accurate control, for example when ringing out the speaker system. The fader view presents all bands as well as the mix master level control. Frequencies are displayed on the strip LCDs which change colour to indicate EQ mode. A GEQ FADERS OFF key lets you quickly restore the faders to normal operation. Settings can be stored as library presets, saved in scene memories or copied between mix masters.

FX Processors
As standard, iLive provides two high quality FX engines created following years of development by the Allen & Heath design team. Internal ‘short’ stereo FX returns can be assigned to channel strips on the console surface without using up input channels giving you the equivalent of 68 sources feeding the mix. Up to four more FX engines may be configured from an additional DSP processing opt ion.

PAFL Monitor
True to form, Allen & Heath have provided iLive with one of the most comprehensive console PFL/AFL monitoring systems available today. Features include the separate selection of input and mix PFL or AFL in-place, PFL override AFL (ideal for monitor duties), auto-cancel or additive mode, clear all, delay (for time alignment of engineer’s local and ear-based monitors), dual AFL masters for personal monitoring and wedge monitor listen, AFL trim control, and a user preference option to link the PAFL key function with the channel SEL and/or MIX keys. Add to this the provision of headphone amps at both the Mix-Rack and surface, the PAFL indicators that light on the Mix-Rack to display to the stage tech which channel is being checked, the extra 3.5mm mini jack for in-ear headsets, and the surface local monitor out put.
Signal Generator
An oscillator is provided with choice of white noise, pink noise, swept frequency sine wave or band pass noise, with level control and individual assignment to any output mix. This can be invaluable to the engineer when setting up the system.
Metering
Apart from the extensive channel and 'Processing-Strip' metering, the Touch-Screen provides additional standard or user defined custom views of the system meters to keep you in touch with signal activity at all times. Gain reduction indicators for active gate, compressor, and limiter processing in the system are also shown in this screen. Using a computer running iLive system manager, a technician can oversee the signal distribution between the iLive console, the Mix-Rack, and other equipment anywhere on the control network (wireless freedom included!).
DCA Groups
iLive offers 16 DCA groups. Input channels and mix masters may be assigned to these groups. Surface strips may be configured as DCA masters with the ability to name and colour them for instant and error free operation. In keeping with the flexibility offered by iLive, the DCA masters (and all other channels) may be configured anywhere across the surface strips.
System Setup
The Touch-Screen provides access to the mix bus configuration and surface strip assignment menus. You can configure the bus architecture as any combination of groups, FX, auxes, mains and matrix for FOH or monitor mixing. The inputs, mix masters and DCAs can be freely assigned, named and coloured across the fader control strips and layers to suit your needs. In this way you can 'design' your own console - just right for your application.
