Interesting email!

I wonder if the on the touch screen the tabs say:

  1. SigGen (signal generator)

  2. USB Audio

  3. Audio Sync

  4. Direct out

Thats kinda what they look like to me…

also looks like on the playback portion, that there is a track timing bar that you can choose where on the track you want to be…they should add in a “This is where I’m at timer” along side that…for both playback and recording…

my iLive setup:

offline editor on mac, demo content on ipod touch

lol

Let’s hope that this means we also get a firmware upgrade in January :smiley:

Ok. here is what i’ve benn told:

The new System is an total new system, not compatible with Ilive. Runs another protocol for digital audio also.

The processing is in the mixing desk, the Stage rack is just for converting analog to digital.

No editor, but an IPad App planned or already finished - i don`t know.

8 FX engines, same preamps as in the mixracks.

So, we are looking at a complete new System that has nothing to do with our ILives and is designed to compete with LS9 and so on.

As i have been told also USB Recording and Playback is not possible with the ILives cause there are problems with the Linux used.

As i have to say - nothing comes from A&H directly - but from an good informed person - so we could be 100% clear @ NAMM.

So no USB recording for the ilive then[:frowning_face: ].

Well, it is possible to build a 24/12 with the existing range ( IDR16 + expander).

Only problem is that the expander can’t be used with the IPAD. Damn i really need A&H to fix that.

Hope the personal monitor system will be available for the ilive with an expansion card.

I can’t believe we are dealing with totally new non compatible system.

That is unforgivable A&H if it’s true, how could you justify that?

Why?

Jim, i have to disagree on that. A&H have to look forward and are trying to penetrate in the lower segment. They do that by offering a complete new system ( no possibility to mix and match like the ilive, and some sort off fixed configuration. ) to cut costs. Although the basic workflow/layout is copied in the new system.

There are not that much more possibilities to expand the ilive system as it is.

should we have another surface and another process rack in the ilive range?

I dont see the need for that. instead they have to fine tune the existing ilive software.

Kind regards

I think what Lieven says is probably right. In terms of the iLive system, how can you honestly get smaller then the r72 + idr16? And they still made that combination around $13-15k US (sorry not sure exactly on price). The only way to make an LS9 type of price range is by offering a new system or dropping the r72 price by $4-5k (which I would have preferred, but oh well…). I hope that the new system will offer many of the iLive features, but obviously it probably won’t have the expandability that the ilive has…I guess we’ll find out soon…

Maybe my language was a bit strong.

I’m not expecting fully interchangeable components, but I would hope it would be possible to exchange signals between the two systems without going analog.

Many of these questions will be answered soon, just keep tight, but I am confident that you will be pleased with the outcome.

GLD series, I am excited to see what this opens up to future options…

So you can put option cards in the mixer, think ACE card to connect to my iDR32… is that really possible?

Thank you A&H to make the systems talk to each other :smiley:

Let’s hope the price is good???

Cheers,

I could not see anything that much different then the current iLive fixed format system. Did our inventory just start to depreciate? And or, is this the replacement system going forward?

Just having the ability to talk to the I-Live is good. I think this system will inherate some of the great stuff that we have in the I-live. But thee are still a lot of features that the I-live offers that this does not. Channel count is a big thing. Limited on that were as I-live will continue to offer many more with dual mix rack capabilities. Flexability, wireless control, editor, and apps?

I think this is going to be an awsome system for those guys that just cant quite afford a I-live but would really like a digital console. The install possibilities just opened up for more user freindly smaller venues and Installs.

With the ace card, if you are only running a single rack, this could make for a split foh/monitor mix console to add to the I/live system—If we are reading and seeing everything as it truly is…at a much more afforable price then previously possible…provided the price is good and in line with what we have heard

Hey just watched the GLD video for the new digital system that is at the price of an anologue system. Can’t wait to see it.

I briefly went over the GLD Document, and the language written such as “inherits key benefits” “new high end preamps” “builds on the success” “same outstanding quality” is carefully positioned.

Maybe future sales going forward will determine the fixed format T series end of life cycle, but I think most manufacturers already have this in there long term planning process. Change is just quicker then we have been accustomed to for those of us that have been in the business for a long time.

I did not see any reference in that document where inter mixing components was possible. I think from a marketing position, that would be a favorable statement written in that promotional piece.

Interested to see where the MSRP will end up in the US.

Certainly will benefit clubs, churches, small soundco’s, etc.

Yes, I see more expandibility with the T series, but I also don’t rule out that someday laptop, iPad, network connectivity, could also be done here too.

I would like to see a comparison chart between the systems.

Maybe that will be explained later or documented somewhere.

It seems to me that the GLD is Ilive in reverse, with the DSP built in to the control surface. A new system for some, and an inexpensive way to expand for existing Ilive users.

With the architectural approach and price point of the iLive fixed-format, I certainly hope we are still a few years away from the end-of-life for the T series.

I was wondering if it would be possible to use the GLD80 as a control surface for iLive using the ACE interface. (I would guess not since this would make the T80 obsolete)

They really did a good job in redesigning the graphics in the touchscreen. More smooth and comprehensive. Easier and faster to work with from what i noticed in the video

Now if only they pimped the ilive firmware like that, that would be nice.
