PAFL IN sockets This pair of balanced, line level XLR inputs on the rear
of the iLive Surface lets you add an external signal to the PAFL mix. Two
applications are:
If you are not using Port A (EtherSound) to provide audio at the surface you
can use analogue connections to route the PAFL signal from the MixRack to
the Surface. Assign the PAFL mix to a pair of XLR sockets on the MixRack
using the OUTPUTS screen. Plug XLR cables from the MixRack to the Surface
PAFL in sockets. The PAFL signal now feeds the Surface headphones and
local monitor system.
Add an external signal to the PAFL mix to mix in with the system PAFL
transported via ESA. For example, you could add a monitor loop from an in-
ear rack, or comms from an external location. Use line level signals. This
signal is always present in the Surface headphones and local monitor.
Note: The Surface PAFL meter reads the system PAFL mix only. External
non-PAFL signals will be heard in the Surface headphones and local monitor
but not read on the PAFL meters.
Note: You can also use the Ext In to PAFL feature to add an external
signal to the PAFL system. This is accessed using the PAFL screen.
MixRack controls and connections
The MixRack includes a headphones amp which duplicates the PAFL signal
checked at the Surface. This is useful in letting the stage technician hear the
same signal being checked by the FOH engineer at the Surface, or when you
are using a laptop instead of a Surface.
PHONES level control Adjusts the level of the monitored signal in the
MixRack headphones feed.
PHONES socket Standard ¼” socket for stereo headphones.
CHK indicators Each socket on the audio modules fitted to the iDR10
MixRack and iLive Surface have a CHK indicator which lights when its
associated channel PAFL is active. Two light if the channel is stereo. If an
insert has been assigned to the channel then its send and return socket CHK
indicators light too. This is helpful in identifying which sockets are associated
with a channel, for example when working with the stage technician checking
the patching. This feature is not available for the T Series.
