Allen & Heath iLive-T80

The compact iLive surface: 20 faders, same remote RackExtra engine

Description

The iLive-T80 is the little sister of the T112: the same remote RackExtra 64×32 engine in a MixRack, the same single-cable ACE link, but a more compact 20-fader surface. I often saw it at the monitor position facing a T112 at FOH, both sharing one MixRack — a 'mix & match' flexibility that was fairly unique at the time.
