Introduction

The PL-6 is one of several remote control devices available for the

iDR-4/8

audio mix processor

and

iLive

mixing systems. It is part of the Allen & Heath PL Series of wall plates and remote controllers. It can be

mounted into a plinth or custom furniture, or used free standing. A suitable template with cutting details is provided for
custom application. The PL-6 interfaces with the Allen & Heath PL-Anet serial port. Multiple PL-6 units can be daisy
chained together along with other PL-Anet devices using CAT5 cable. A terminator is provided for plugging into the
last unit in the chain. For information on the full range of PL products available visit http://www.allen-heath.com. The
PL-6 control and indicator functions are programmed using the iDR System Manager software, or the iLive Surface
TouchScreen or Editor software. Space is provided next to the controls for custom labelling. The PL-6 is ideal as a
remote mix controller, for example as a simple operator controlled fader panel in an installed sound system, or as a
personal musicians on-stage mix controller with in-ear monitors. The installer can program the unit according to the
requirements of the application, providing the degree of control needed by the day to day operator.

8 Faders can be configured individually for input, output, group or crosspoint level control or monitor level. Minimum
and maximum ranges can be set. 16 Switches, arranged as two per fader, can be configured as combinations of level
up/down, mute toggle, polarity toggle, audio monitor select, or preset recall. 24 LED indicators, arranged as three per
fader, can be configured as combinations of 3 colour signal meters, mute status, or preset related 3 colour LED
indication. Controls can be configured as unused if not required. A single 3 colour Status LED displays PL-Anet
power and communication status. Custom labels can be fitted into the recessed areas provided. Recommended
height is 6mm.
