Can’t go past powersoft K series IMO,

Single rack size up to 9000w per channel model dependent, aes, on board dsp available, remote control & monitoring options, eaw greyboxes on board, power upgradeable via smart card.

Simply great amplifiers never miss a beat.

Canare have a new cable that is double sheathed for rugged applications, memory is its cat 5e not cat 6, I have not used it but most times Canare is amongst the leading cable in their field.

This is not neccessarily the only way to get pre-amps at FOH M-ACe in port b on stage, IDR 16 at FOH with either another M-Ace or M-Dante in port B.

If you want redundancy in case of an ace failure or similar then Modular is a must.

Thanks Wouter thats very interesting not a huge amount new but interesting. I do like Dave Rat he is a cluey hands on guy and we can all thank him for advancing monitor technology with his micro-wedge.

Thanks Joe,

Your efforts are most appreciated.

I might print it and store in alibrary as well as on my server this time

I am using a pair of fixed mixrack’s here in the hot climate of Australia summers and have never had an issue.

Also

I would be extremly interested in what these service modifications are, I have never heard of them – do they only apply to early racks or all racks?

hence there have been a couple of service modifications recommended for hot climates

Hi Tim,

I would also be surprised if tenperture is the only factor at play here

We have done multiple outdoor shows in peak australian summer meaning ambient temperature well in excess of 40 degrees C and have never had a fault with an IDR although we rarely have them in direct sunlight.

The Temperature is monitored at several points in the surface, rack & power supplies and if the set threshhold is exceeded a red X warning comes up.

If you didnt see a rex X come up i would hazard a guess that the increase in temperature is causing an issue with a component even though the rack is still within safe operating limits

My memory is there are 4 monitoring points of the Mix Rack temp which are available from the utility screen so when you say it was 50 deg were all 4 at 50 Deg or just one?

You can also reset the trip points I would suggest some trial and error experimentation and if it contiues to happen raise a service tag with your local distributor.

Cheers

We always power off a common star point.

To not do so just invites the looming disaster of earth loop hum which can ruin any show.

I would suggest that there is a possibilty that A & H like most companies in the industrialised western world are finding sales harder to come by these days in part due to GFC and Euro debt crisis and like all forward thinking companies are trying to secure their future by protecting their current market share.

Dont forget we have just starting to see the Midas Pro2 & Yamaha CL hit the street and these are directly aimed at the A & H price point.

That said it would not surprise me in the least that if some time in the next 24 months using FW V1.9 as a starting point if A & H used as a building block all of the current IDR range (with upgraded dsp being discussed) but introduced a range of new surfaces.

Cheers

[teknik99Participant]

Personally I have never owned anything Apple and I dont intend to start now and I dont think I’m Robinson Crusoe in that respect.

If A & H find their way to writing an app for the the new WM8 platform and the MS Surface or Android its something I’ll look at otherwise its a heartache I can do without.

32 bus architecture is fixed.

The flexibilty of Ilive means these buses are fully configurabe in almost any way you want but 32 is 32.

I agree with Gil the number of time i see misconfigured surfaces is astounding one of the biggies I see is multplie mono / steroe matricies configured but no use for or of them

The beauty of Ilive is you always get the 32 buses no matter what size rack you purchase so you get the full enchiladda at entry level.

I dont know what you are doing that requires more than 32 buses but it must one impressive setup if you truly need this many buses.

Mr B,

From my point not all speaker manufacturers dedicated speaker processing is currently AVB compliant and hence can not simply be implemented into a Dante network.

True I could go out and replace all my current speaker processors with something like one of the new Lakes and then try and get it to give the same results that the speaker manufacturer wrote in to their processor.

Its a lot of money to spend for a somewhat dubious outcome when having the simple abilty to go from the Ilive in AES directly to existing proceesor gives a predertmined outcome.

In the future when everyone is following AVB and all manufactures follow the protocol yes DANTE all the way.

Cheers

greetz,

Cheers for the update and news on success with the Belden 1305A with Ace.

It is very intersing that the manual refers several times to the A & H website for recommended cables (which does not include the Belden) but as you correctly point out the manual goes on to say they have tested and recommend 1305A – nothing like conflicting information.

Does the iDR-DOUT require an iDR-4?

---

The XDR has a “B” port so as I understand it you could put the MMO in the XDR negating the extra gear requirment but if for instance the XDR is at FOH and your IDR-Dout is on stage you would need more cat 5 cables to run back to it.

No straight out of the IDR-Dout to whatever you want to feed the AES into.

The documentation confirms this and Sam from A & H has also confirmed previously

[teknik99Participant]

That upgrade path sounds like a fantastic idea if it comes to fruition.

I had been planning to use a MMO with an IDR-Dout in the next few months to acheive what you are trying to do but I might hold off a bit longer.

The problem I have with the MMO option is it takes up a port B slot which is fine most of the time but when we would need to digital split we are going to have to move cards around a bit which ok but not perfect.

Cheers
