Network –2x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Connect a laptop or a wireless
router to use with dLive Editor or iOS apps. All devices on the network must have
compatible IP addresses.
A recessed switch lets you reset the network settings to factory default. To reset,
turn the MixRack off, insert a pointed object to press and hold the switch whilst
turning the MixRack back on. Hold the switch in for at least 15 seconds.
gigaACE link –MixRack to Surface link over Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3
Layer 2 compliant). A single Cat5e (or higher) cable carries bidirectional 96kHz audio
and control. Use two cables for redundancy –the system will seamlessly switch cable
in case of failures, without any audio dropout.
DX links –Dual redundant EtherCon ports for connection of up to 2 DX
expanders over Fast Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 Layer 2 compliant). A single Cat5e (or
higher) cable carries 32x32 channels of 96kHz audio and control. Connect the first
expander to DX1 & DX2, the second expander to DX3 & DX4.
Use the I/O screen to patch signals from or to the DX expanders.
ME - Dedicated EtherCon port for the Allen & Heath ME personal mixing
system. A single Cat5e (or higher) carries 40 channels of 48kHz audio, channel names
and stereo links. Connect a ME-1 mixer for daisy chaining or ME-U hub for power and
audio distribution.
Use the I/O screen to patch signals to the ME system.
Word Clock I/O - BNC connectors for syncing from an external audio clock
or providing a clock to other devices. Use the MixRack / Audio / Audio Sync screen
to select the clock source.
Audio Sync Lock –Indicates that the audio is sync locked to a valid clock
source. If this does not light up then check that the correct clock source is selected in
the MixRack / Audio / Audio Sync screen.
Phones - Standard 1/4” jack socket and level control for the built-in
headphone amplifier. The output follows the PAFL selection.
Power Supply –Hot swappable power supply with mains IEC socket and
On/Off rocker switch. To remove or replace, loosen the 4 screws indicated below and
slide the PSU out of the slot.
dLive MixRacks ship with one PSU fitted. A second PSU can be fitted for
redundancy (part number MPS-16). Loosen the 4 captive thumb screws securing
the blank panel*, slide the PSU into the slot, and tighten the 4 captive thumb
screws indicated above. The MixRack will automatically switch between the
supplies without interruption to the audio should one fail.
