Allen & Heath has introduced two new modules to the iLive digital mixing series to further extend the flexibility and interfacing capabilities of the range.

RAB2 is a remote audio card, enabling iLive digital mixing systems to work with a variety of common audio interface and networking standards. The new module has two front-loading, easy fit slots for plug-in options, which are auto-detected by the system firmware. The first port allows alternative standards to connect the iLive MixRacks and Control Surfaces, while the second port is used for system expansion, such as linking to secondary FOH/monitors consoles, feeding broadcast mixers, and record sends. more
