An Introduction to iLive
Preamp Gain Sharing
  iLive and the T Series support system linking using one set of input preamps, for example, split FOH and Monitor operation, recording and broadcast feeds. The Port B option can be configured as a digital mic splitter to replace the traditional analogue multicore. Two DSP 'brains' are required but only one system needs the mic preamps fitted. The other does not need these as it gets its signals via the audio network connection. This saves cost, weight and space and is much quicker to set up.

The same set of preamps can be 'daisy chained' through several systems using single cable connection, for example, seprate FOH, Monitor and Recording.

The system with the mic inputs fitted (MASTER) has control of the preamp gain. The gain affects both systems. The system getting its inputs from the digital split (SLAVE) is provided with digital trim controls to make independent offset adjustments.

The MASTER system is also provided with channel trim controls. The user has the option to work with these trims once the preamp gain is set. This gives both systems independent 'gain' control when sharing preamps.

The master system audio is synchronised to its internal clock, and the slave to Port B to get its clock from the master. iLive provides a screen to configure the settings for the audio network options fitted.
