Hi Ray, i just did a musical tour with a t112 and a idr 32 and 32 wireless mics. I can send you my show file so you can see how i’ve done it. Just contact me if you’re interested!

Madi is currently more used in broadcast enviromnents. So if you are planning on intergrating your ilive system in such an enviroment, use madi. Too bad a&h doesn’t have a optical madi out option, like yamaha.

If you’re a stand-alone user, dante is a good option. I’m planning on buying dante, but i only have experience with madi (not on ilive, but on lawo system) so currently i’ m reading into dante. If i finnish my research i will post again.

[GijsbertParticipant]

Yes, i can finally buy original A&H idr UGGS, are they controlled by a surface or can i use my ipad?

[GijsbertParticipant]

Use at least cat 5E cable

Cat3= 10 mB
Cat5=10/100mB
Cat5E=10/100/1000mB (short distances)
Cat 6=100/1000mB

[GijsbertParticipant]

Cat 5 doesn’t support 1000mB speed, although your router, laptop etc. Say they have a 1 gigabit connection. It’s a grey area, cat 5 will run gigabit but not garanteed. Cat 6 cable should work according the standards. Look on the wikipedia for all the cable standards iso-norm etc.

Maybe audinate has a recommended cable list….

Good luck,

Try doing that with a japanese digital desk in that amount of time……
I’m currently touring in the netherlands with a musical. 32 wireless mic’s, an Idr 32 and a t112. I love it when the venue’s sound engineers look a bit worried when i unload.(digital in dutch theaters means either yamaha or digico) Then i set up in half an hour, and they ask me what i need. Left, right, Center, extra center for the balcony, Sub left, sub right, fly top left, fly top right and 2 stereo monitor groups. Then they look really worried, until i ask them what the actually have. And after ten minutes configuring, i’m doing my soundcheck….. Sometimes they start about the “what if somebody breaks your cat 5 cable?”, so i pul out my ipad or laptop and show them how A&H aproaches “minor” problems. and nobody believes the price.

I love Ilive…..

Hi all,

On the d-link dir-815, everything works fine…..same brand, almost the same router. Very strange……

I only use the first 20 channels, fx in/out, dca and main on the surface. Nothing else, so other pages or strips are empty. On the ipad i use the next 20 channels with the same preamp as the first 20 channels. I make a custom layer with channel 21-40 and the 4 auxes for each band member. As long as i stay in my custom layer and the foh guy doesn’t assign one of my channels to his empty strip nothing can happen, i guess.

Any other ideas would be welcome

[GijsbertParticipant]

Thanks everybody!

Here’s my intended work-around: i make an extra mono aux and connect it to a wedge next to the stage. I will have 4 stereo auxes for in ear and 1 aux for myself. I can select the aux-mix for my wedge and slide up the channel i wanna hear. Not great but workable.
The other question, if i select a mix button from a monitor aux, is a mix button selection on the surface unselected? Or vice versa, if i select my own monitor aux mix button and at the surface a fader gets moved up, will i hear that?

Greetings!

My idea is to do a gain setup during soundcheck and during the show both use trim. I completly understand the whole concept, but he needs a great big kick in his analog you-know-what…..

[GijsbertParticipant]

Thanks for your comment

The gain and trim concept is hard to explain to the band’s own engineer. I myself prefer gain at the monitordesk as well, he doesn’t understand. (very old school analog guy). i don’t have 40 phsyical inputs, i use 20 inputs but i use the preamp of those channels for the next 20 channels. So channel 1 and 21 use the same preamp and so on.

Hi all,

It works, but………

– don’t use any ups, before or after. Somehow the ups distortes the phase too much
– use the belkin 1000 mb version, 200 mb is simply 100 mb send and 100 mb return, it’s a marketing trick…
– run a straight power line from the one to the other, nothing else on the same line
– the system is designed for households, so strobe lights and sudden powerdrops are a huge problem.

In short, fun while it lasts, but don’t use it in live situations.
And yes, ACE works also, sometimes, not really, there it is again, gone again……….

My advice:
Spend the money on beer for the stagehands that run your cables!

[GijsbertParticipant]

The ilive editor is free.. The mixpad app is much better than any yamaha app, i tried both. With the yamaha app you’ll have a mix deck remote, with the mixpa app you’l have a seperate, yet small, desk. The ilive tweak should be compared to the yamaha apps, both free and both almost the same…..
