iLive Reference Guide – Hardware Part 1 - 13 AP6526-1 iss.5

Connecting the modular iLive MixRack and Surface

The iLive has two main system connections between the Surface and MixRack, both using CAT5 cables.

NETWORK is the control interface to the MixRack. Port A primarily connects audio to and from the

Surface and other EtherSound equipped break in/out devices. The optional Port B can be used to

connect audio between systems such as FOH/Monitor, broadcast or recording. iLive systems are

shipped with 1.8 metre UTP CAT5 cables fitted with EtherCon locking connectors as standard. Allen &

Heath can supply an 80 meter drum of approved cable if the Surface is located remote from the MixRack.

Up to two of these are required to connect control and audio between the MixRack and the Surface. One

is required to connect audio between the MixRack and another remote rack. iLive communicates control

parameters over a TCP/IP network and the components of the system are network devices that require

correctly setting up, please see the section on Network Settings.

Note: It is recommend that only good quality cable types and network components are used. See

the Allen & Heath website for approved cable types.

Using EtherSound

This requires 2x CAT5 cables, one for AUDIO, the other for CONTROL.

CONTROL A 3 port Ethernet switch is built into the CPU module allowing connection of more than

one control device, for example a Surface and a laptop. Cables up to 100 metres (330 feet) may be used.

Plug the CAT5 cable into any NETWORK port. Standard Ethernet hardware may be used to extend or

route this connection if required. For Network details on IP address setup and configuration see later

sections.

Note: Plug only one CAT5 cable to connect the NETWORK between the MixRack and Surface.

Plug this into any one of the three network ports available. Do not connect a second cable for

redundancy. Third party systems are available to extend the connection or provide dual redundancy.

AUDIO Plug the MixRack Port A ES OUT to the Surface Port A ES IN to connect the PAFL, talkback

and rear panel input/output signals (ES channels 1 to 32) to and from the Surface. Plug the Surface Port

A ES OUT to external break in/out device ES IN to route signals to and from further locations if required

(ES channels 33 to 62). For information on using the optional Port B network refer to information later in

this user guide.

Note: Connect only one EtherSound cable between two devices. Do not connect both IN to OUT

and OUT to IN. The terminology ‘IN’ and ‘OUT’ refers to the clock master and not direction of audio.

Each EtherSound cable carries 64 channels of audio in both directions. It is recommend that only the

cable types and network components tested and approved for EtherSound are used.
