TM
This requires a single CAT5 cable which transports AUDIO and CONTROL over the same cable.
Plug MixRack Port A ACE 1 to the Surface Port A ACE 1 to connect the PAFL, talkback and rear panel
input/output signals (channels 1 to 32) to and from the Surface. For information on using the optional
network modules refer to information later in this user guide.
Redundant ACE connection The modular iLive Port A Surface to MixRack link supports dual
redundancy. Two cables may be connected, one as a backup for continued operation should the other
become disconnected or damaged.
Set the Redundant Link option to ON using the Surface MIXRACK Setup / Mixer Pref / Port A/B Setup
