Andy, I am new to the forum but have been following for some time. Hopes to have a I-Live before next year.I agree that the Reac system is very nice. However that particular product is very “within itself”. I would sugest that maybe you look at the Allen and Heath PL series controllers. They adapt very niceley and with the outstanding customer support that you read about so much here on the forum. Why would we need to look any further. There are already several other interfaces that work well and so many of them can be adapted. I personally like the Hear bus and the adaptable system. There are others that work well if you can give up the additional analog outs that also interface easily. If you dont mind me asking What setting are you working in the Most. Have a great day.

If you have the money,
Just get RSS new MADI box. It converts MADI to REAC. Than install a MADI card on your iLive.
Expensive solution, but it should work.
I’d just wait and see what happens in the next few months………..

Think you’d also need some kind of Roland mixer to plug the REAC into to get it working. From what I recall, these devices rely on a real mixer to do the mixing/routing for the 16 inputs supported by the M48, which I *think* then are mixed locally.

Sounds to me like a bloke with a laptop and some extra outputs from your existing A&H setup would be a cheaper and more compact solution? Or split the iLive inputs to another IDR unit if you need more dedicated outputs.
