IP8 is a next generation remote controller for AHM-64 matrix processors or dLive and Avantis mixing systems, ideal for many install and live sound applications. It interfaces with the Avantis or dLive mixing system via standard TCP/IP Network connections and can be networked with other controllers, computers and third party devices using a standard Ethernet infrastructure. Teamed up with a dLive MixRack and a laptop running Director Software, IP8 is ideal for adding hands-on control to an ultra-compact dLive setup, such as a monitor rig for fly-in dates. The sound engineer can make use of all fader strips on a dLive Surface or Avantis mixer to control Input channels, and set up a ‘sidecar' IP8 to control master levels. The installer or system integrator can configure the IP8 to provide the degree of control needed by the day to day operator, for example the levels of microphones and music sources in a room.
