‘As soon as we saw the iPad we were excited by the prospect of giving our iLive customers portable, intuitive control for mixing a show,’ says Allen & Heath MD, Glenn Rogers. ‘In certain situations this app could even replace the console altogether, especially when supported by a PC or Mac for accessing set-up features using iLive Editor software. Whether its operating standalone or complementing an iLive control surface, I can see front-of-house and A/V engineers enjoying the ability to discreetly mix from anywhere in the venue, whilst monitor engineers will appreciate being able to balance monitors from the stage.’

iLive MixPad connects to an iLive MixRack on a wireless network and provides control for live mixing, including channel faders and mutes, DCA faders and mutes, image controls, aux sends, channel processing, mic-pre control and full metering. Channel processing encompasses high-pass filters, gates, parametric and graphic EQs, compressors, limiters/de-essers and delays.

iLive MixPad also offers tools for system set-up, including channel assignment to mixes, a real-time analyser and the facility to name and colour channel strips.

The app is the latest addition to a family of control options for the iLive system, which includes control surfaces, software, PL series remote controllers and the iLive Tweak iPhone app.

iLive MixPad is available to purchase from the Apple iPad Store.
