Designed for smaller venues, the new iLive-80 is the smallest in the range of control surfaces, providing 80 control strips grouped in two sections each with four banks, with an LCD display above each fader for labelling and colour-coding. The channel controls for preamp, filter and EQ are laid out across the top of the surface, while a colour LCD touch screen presents a graphical view of the processing and access to the automation and set up screens.
Also new to the show is the WZ³12M monitor mixer, a rackmount/desktop console which combines the design principles of the industry-standard MixWizard Series with many modern monitor facilities, implemented in the recently launched GL2800M monitor mixer. Furnished with 16 mono mic/line inputs, the desk boasts 12 mix outputs, which can be assigned as either mono or stereo pairs to take advantage of the recent trend towards personal monitoring.
Allen & Heath will also have the GL2800 and GL2800M models from the GL series of multipurpose consoles on display.
