Allen & Heath to Launch Live Sound Digital Mixing System at ABTT
Pro audio manufacturer, Allen & Heath, will be introducing the new live sound iLive digital mixing console system to the theatre market at this year’s ABTT show in London in June.
The heart of the system is the iDR-64, a 19” rack-mounting modular mix engine providing 64 channels into 32 mixes. The iDR-64 is a stand-alone mixer comprising the 8-channel audio interface cards, DSP processing, and communication ports. The unit is controlled via an Ethernet network and can be connected to a variety of controllers, including a range of new iLive control surfaces, Allen & Heath’s PL range of remote units, or a laptop/PC.
Two EtherSound ports are provided for low latency remote audio distribution, connection of an additional unit to expand the system to 128 channels, FOH/monitor signal splitting, and the connection of multi-tracks and other EtherSound-equipped devices. All channels and mix masters have EQ, dynamics and delay processing, with on-board FX, and an option for a built-in 32 channel speaker processor.
There are three sizes of iLive control surfaces, designed to reflect the feel of an analogue console. The faders are motorised and grouped in 3 sections, each with 4 banks, giving up to 176 control strips on the largest size surface. There is a multi-colour backlit LCD display above each fader, channel processing controls are laid out across the top of the surface on rotary controls with LED indicators, and a colour LCD touch screen presents a graphical view of automation and set-up functions.
Allen & Heath will also have the GL series of multi-purpose consoles, and compact MixWizard range on display.
