T Series is an evolution of the flagship iLive digital range, with all the performance and power of the original in a newly-styled, compact and affordable package.

For the first time, distributed audio digital mixing has been made accessible to everyone, from rental companies to houses of worship, schools to theatres, stadia to media centres – without breaking the bank.

T Series provides distributed audio and control, various configuration possibilities, an intuitive instant access analogue-style user interface, and features the same great-sounding 64x32 RackExtra DSP mix engine as our highly successful iLive range.

2 new control surfaces and 2 new mixracks use compact construction with non-modular classic format I/O, new proprietary Audio and Control over Ethernet (ACE)TM digital snake and the latest dual core DSP technology to make iLive accessible to engineers.

There is an optional card slot for popular audio networking solutions as well as a host of control options.

Surfaces:

The T Series surfaces feature the same intuitive layout that has delighted iLive users around the world. Its instantly accessible analogue-style rotary controls and switches, visually informative channel labelling and colour coding, comprehensive metering, graphical colour touchscreen, and logical layout allows the user to avoid fiddly menus and instinctively find controls. The jump from analogue to digital has never been so easy.

The mix layout
Each bank of faders has four layers, so even the small T80 provides no fewer than 80 control strips. These can be freely assigned as mono or stereo inputs, group, aux, main, matrix mix masters, DCA masters - and even engineers Wedge / IEM monitor - giving total freedom in the design of the surface layout.

Local audio The rear of the surface provides a host of connections for local sources, sends and inserted devices, so there is no need for a second I/O rack at mix position.

Networking and control The T Surface connects to the MixRack using the ACETM link, which combines control and remote audio over a single cable. A built-in network switch allows connection of other network devices using TCP/IP such as a laptop running iLive Editor software.
MIDI and USB ports are also available.

Mixing on iLive-T:

Controlling a mix with the iLive-T couldn’t be easier. Its logic and simplicity get the user up to speed and navigating the system in minutes. The SEL buttons are used to instantly access all the processing for each strip, whether input, output or FX, with no menus involved at all, while the MIX buttons provide access to the levels, sends, assignments and other mix parameters. Selecting the MIX button on an output strip will immediately bring up the contributions to that mix from the inputs on the faders (or encoders, if preferred), while selecting the MIX button on an input strip shows the send levels to each mix.

Processing Strip
The iLive-T Surface features the proven and popular ‘Processing Strip’ found on our flagship iLive system. It’s a combination of dedicated functional controls for Gain and Preamp, HPF, Gate, Parametric EQ, Compressor and Limited/De-Esser, which can be applied to any DSP channel in the iLive system, with full metering within each processing block. In addition, every processor features a SEL button for parameter copy and reset, or for headphone monitoring of any point in the channel signal path including the side-chain filters. All processing is available on each DSP channel all the time so you can never run out of DSP power!

Graphic EQ
All 32 mix outputs have a 1/3 octave graphic EQ as well as the parametric EQ. The graphic can be set up on the touch screen or viewed on the surface with the motorised channel faders controlling the bands and the related frequency and dB cut or boost displayed on the LCD strip. There is even an RTA display on the meters above the frequency bands.

Surface Mixing controls
Further controls on the iLive-T surface provide copy & paste of settings across strips, navigating between layers and scenes, and a selection of monitor and talkback options. To help identify channels, colour-definable ‘Write-On Blocks’ for channel naming are provided, where the background of the channel LCD can be set to suit the user’s preferences – for example, green for inputs, light blue for auxes, red for DCAs, or to highlight specific inputs.

TouchScreen
The TouchScreen is used to set up and manage iLive’s system configuration and data, and also supports general operations with a graphical display of the signal processing. To get started quickly a variety of Show templates for different classic console set ups is available, or the user can build his preferences for the layout and set up of inputs, masters, DCA groups, routing, etc. from scratch.

Scenes, Shows & Libraries
iLive can store all, or a selection of, parameters within the console as ‘Scene’ memories. These can be used, for example, to store bands’ settings at sound check, make effects changes during songs, cue changes during a theatre production, or to store preferred layouts for different operators. Scenes are then archived with the current configuration and settings into a ‘Show’ file for future use. Personal processing and FX preferences can be named and stored as ’Libraries’. Show and Library memories are easily transported between systems or archived to computer using a USB key.

iLive-T FX
iLive has an array of built-in ‘rack’ FX options modelled on simulations of the best products available, and these are represented graphically on the TouchScreen, from where the FX parameters can be edited. With 8 DSP engines available, there are plenty of options for system effects, such as delay and reverb, as well as inserted effects such as chorus and double tracking. Each of the effects units has a ‘back panel’ where I/O routing is set up.

SMR Reverb - designed for live sound reverb processing, with emulations of industry standard units based on 4 complex models: Classic, Hall, Room and EMT.

2-Tap delay - a comprehensive delay processor providing separate L and R tap delay outputs with onscreen tap tempo for fast and simple set up.

ADT Double Tracker - creates short echo, classic double/quad tracking FX and ‘slapback’ tape delay loops.

Chorus - emulates classic chorus units with additional stereo field enhancement, providing effects from ‘shimmer’ to deep stereo pitch modulation.

Electric Flange – provides emulations of ‘ambient’ tape machine flanging from ‘vintage’ classic sounds to ‘wild’ untameable flange FX.

Symphonic Chorus - the popular 80’s chorus with vox and strings presets.

Hypabass - a sub-harmonic synthesis unit to generate infra and sub-bass spectrum from a weaker bass programme.

Gated Verb - contains the classic 80’s emulation, plus ‘panned’ and ‘powerbox’ gated reverbs, the module also has a visual display of the gate time domain envelope
