The Surface is simply a controller for the MixRack. The console also has an audio rack built into it to conveniently provide local inputs and outputs at the mix position. These are not processed in the Surface but sent to/from the MixRack via a digital snake. The Surface features a large analogue style, one control per function processing block, TouchScreen, name and colour virtual ‘write-on’ strip, banks of motorised faders with independent layers, SoftKeys, built-in headphones, local monitor and talkback.

iLive Editor
iLive Editor is a software application for a PC/Mac laptop or touch tablet that gives you complete wired or wireless control of the iLive system. You can configure your show offline or connect online to control the mix live. The layout is intuitive and quick to learn with custom strips letting you group your channels to suit your way of working.
There are three operating modes:
Offline - Configure your iLive system, channel plot and Surface layout before your show on the plane, tour bus or in the office. Edit guest engineer Show files before transferring them to USB key to load into the iLive at the venue.
Online to MixRack and Surface – Editor adds a second ‘virtual’ control surface to the iLive system providing simultaneous control. For example, one engineer can run the FOH sound check from the Surface while another dials in the monitor mixes using the laptop on stage.
Online to MixRack only – For systems without an iLive Surface. Combine your laptop and any iLive MixRack for probably the most compact, portable and powerful 64 channel live mixing system available today. Connect a second laptop or an iPad for separate FOH/Monitor control.
iLive iPad app
iLive MixPad is an engineer’s mixing tool providing easily portable wireless mobile control for the iLive digital mixing system. It is the perfect companion to the iLive Surface or Editor, giving you the freedom to walk the room or stage and control the sound right where it is needed. It provides a very visual and intuitive multi-touch virtual control surface giving you quick access to the mix sends and channel processing, full signal metering and the ability to configure custom strip layouts to work the way you prefer.
Yamaha Digital Desks
Yamaha M7CL
The M7CL series is a digital live-sound console that carries on the digital evolution from the acclaimed PM1DV2 and PM5D consoles. It includes an impressive array of advanced concepts such as the “Centralogic™” control interface that makes it as easy and intuitive to use as an analog console, and in-depth access management facilities that will be particularly appreciated in installations.
The M7CL is familiar and comfortable to use, offering a level of convenience that overturns the preconception that “digital is difficult”. A surprising range of functions that you would normally have to supply in the form of peripheral equipment is built in, and all of this is provided in a space that is dramatically less than an analog console of similar scope.
The M7CL is the ideal digital mixing console for medium size live sound applications that have previously been handled by analog gear.
The Yamaha LS932
The LS9 series consoles follow in the distinguished footsteps of the Yamaha PM1D, PM5D, and M7CL, expanding Yamaha’s digital mixing console lineup for live sound and installations. The LS9 series consists of the 32-mic/line input 64-channel LS9-32, and the 16-mic/line input 32 channel LS9-16. While being compact and light enough for one person to move and set up easily, both models include features that have been field-proven in previous Yamaha digital consoles as well as outstanding sonic quality. In addition to an extensive range of gating, compression, and equalization capabilities, there’s also a built-in USB memory recorder/player for recording or BGM playback, and other functionality that give you everything you need for small to medium scale live sound or installed applications in remarkably compact, all-in-one consoles.
