    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.

  • Page 14
    Using ACE This requires a single CAT5 cable which transports AUDIO and CONTROL over the same cable. Plug MixRack Port A ACE 1 to the Surface Port A ACE 1 to connect the PAFL, talkback and rear panel input/output signals (channels 1 to 32) to and from the Surface. For information on using the optional network modules refer to information later in this user guide.

    An IEC mains power cord with moulded plug suitable for your territory is provided for each power supply module within the system. The iLive system uses universal voltage power supplies that accept world wide mains sources from 100 to 240V.AC 47 to 63Hz. Make sure the IEC plugs are pressed fully into their panel sockets and the cables are clipped into the retaining clips to protect them from accidental disconnection.
