EtherSound is a popular low latency industry networking standard supporting 64 channels of bi-directional audio over CAT5 cable. A growing number of third party ES equipped devices are becoming available for remote audio distribution, PC recording, speaker controllers, amplifiers and more. A single cable transports audio in both directions. The second socket allows further networking beyond the iLive. Note that ‘IN’ and ‘OUT’ refer to the direction of the audio master, not direction of audio. A control port provides access to the routing configuration within EtherSound and opens up many more networking possibilities.

The older EtherSound AVD card fitted to the original RAB module can be re-used in the newer RAB2 module using a card frame adapter available from Allen & Heath.

EtherSound is one of a range of digital audio networking options available for iLive. These small interface cards can be fitted to Slot A and Slot B * in iLive MixRacks and Surfaces fitted with the RAB2 module, and to Port B in the T Series MixRacks.
* Current firmware supports only the M-MMO option in the RAB2 module Port B of the modular iLive Surface. Other card options are supported in the Surface Port A but not Port B. All card options are supported in MixRack Port B.
