The monitor
application
iLive can be configured as a
dedicated FOH or monitor console. As a monitor console it offers a powerful set of
features suited to this demanding application.
-
Template
Show Start by recalling a dedicated monitor template
Show. 8m6st is ideal where up to 8 wedge/fill speakers and up to 6 stereo IEM mixes
are required. Remember to Store All to a Scene before changing the configuration, then
recall it afterwards.

Working with
the mix Choosing the Sel Follows PAFL and Mix Follows Mix
PAFL options using the PAFL screen lets the monitor engineer quickly access the
mix processing, adjust its levels and listen to the mix simply by pressing the mix PAFL
key.
-
Engineer's
Wedge/IEM monitors.
A dual monitor system lets you PAFL your wedge masters and IEM masters through
independent monitors. Assign which masters go to which monitor. You can assign
the engineer's mono or stereo Wedge or IEM masters to Surface Strips, and change their
backlight colours to identify them. Patch the related monitor outputs to the required
sockets using the OUTPUTS screen. Choose Wedge or IEM processing in
the Surface MIXRACK / Mixer Config screen if you want full
processing including GEQ and dynamics on the engineer's monitors.
-
Input PAFL
overrides mix PAFL.
You can listen to a mix in your monitor, then check an input source, then return
automatically to that same mix when turning input PAFL off. Adjust the balance
between PFL and AFL levels using the PAFL screen PFL trim function.

Monitor
engineer talk to stage - Use the monitor Surface Talkback system.
Latched TALK switch operation may be preferred if you are using a switched mic. Set
this in the Surface SURFACE / Preferences screen.
-
Monitor
engineer talk to FOH engineer - You could assign the Surface Talkback mic to an
unused channel, then route its direct output to the FOH iLive via Port B to talk to the FOH
engineer. This is not affected by the TALK switch.
-
FOH engineer talk-to-stage - A mic could be routed from the FOH iLive to an
unused channel on the Monitor MixRack (analogue mic split) or via Port B (digital
mix split), then routed to all the monitor mixes.
-
FOH talk-to-monitor engineer - The same talk source could be routed to the
monitor PAFL system using the PAFL / Ext Talk to PAFL screen to let the FOH engineer to
talk to the monitor engineer at any time. During the performance the FOH talk-to-stage
channel using the same source could be muted so that the engineer conversation is not heard
by the performers.
