Not obsolete - i understand the GLD processing is max 48 channels /20 buss. Also - I assume you would only have preamp control/ recall of preamp on an iLive mixrack if you have an ACE card installed in the GLD? It would make an excellent monitor split for an existing iLive set up though.
I’m hoping the new AR2412 and AR84 audioracks will also be accessible from an iLive mixrack as an extender. Although there is no mention of this when you think about it the new audio racks are just like an XDR16 - they have preamps but no processing dsp. It would be so cool if they could be used as extenders for an iLive mixrack ( with iLive firmware update of course). The dSnake protocol must be very similar! I guess we will all know soon!! They are being released on the 19th Jan.

Just to clarify a couple of points - GLD does not replace iLive. The two systems are significantly different. iLive offers more control options, networking and redundant capabilities, multiple access, higher channel count, and 32 mix outputs. GLD is designed to open up all the benefits of digital technology to a wider group of customers, thanks to its lower price point.
We are fully committed to the future of our iLive range, and our R&D engineers will keep working on updates.
A note on compatibility: dSNAKE is not compatible with ACE. It is not possible to connect iLive MixRacks to a GLD mixer, or to connect GLD AudioRacks to an iLive system. Nevertheless, GLD and iLive can be happily interconnected and share audio using the A&H range of audio networking cards (ACE, Dante, Ethersound etc), e.g. for a FOH/Mon digital split.
All other questions will be answered following the product launch at NAMM.
Thanks Nicola and the A&H team. It looks as if you guys have a good strategy for staying head of some of the competition, to be able to reach another segment of the market. Looking forward to seein and using the new system.
Have just seen some peliminary pricing for the GLD system; GLD 80 mixer only -approx $8k (NZ dollars), GLD 80 + AR2412 + AR84 extender will be around $11770 (NZ).

I am definitely interested in this for the high school I help out and our student center at the church.
I wonder if the libraries are compatible. We have an iLive T112 in our main worship center at the church and frequently the same players play in the student center as well.

How much is this…[?]

Multiply by 0.78 approx for US Dollars or use an online currency converter for your country. Note that we have had sharp pricing here in the past for iLive products so it is only an indication of pricing!

We are releasing pricing here in the states on Monday. In case you all were wondering, its in the US LS-9 price points.
It will share audio with the iLive via ACE, MADI, DANTE, ETC, but the show files are not the same as its a completely different architechure, DSP is on the surface, simple plug and play operation.
we are very excited about debuting this at NAMM. Come see us booth 6464
