Port B at the FOH mix position. The xDR-16 expander is similar to the iDR-16 MixRack but without the DSP built in. It can be added to any of the of six iLive MixRack available – iDR-16, iDR-32, iDR-48, iDR-64, iDR10, iDR0.
Analogue version: Check that your iLive system and xDR are running the same version of firmware. The system must be loaded with V1.8 or higher for the analogue xDR-16, Firmware V1.9 + AES digital version: or V1.9 for the AES digital version.
Network connection and settings The xDR-16 is a networked device. It connects to the same network as the MixRack, Surface, TouchScreen and laptop or wifi router. The xDR and each device on the network must have a unique address compatible with the rest of the system. The easiest way to work with the xDR is to use the factory default IP addresses.

Adding an expander to a linked FOH/Monitor system You can add one xDR-16 expander to a linked iLive system using digital mic splitter. This example shows an iDR-32 expanded with an xDR-16 for stage monitors, and an iDR-16 for FOH getting the 48 channels via an ACE digital mic split.
XLR or Port B channel is highlighted. Assign from the Select Output Source drop down menu in the usual way. The AES digital outputs, if fitted, are shown as XLR sockets and patched in the usual way. iLive xDR-16 Getting Started Guide AP8331 iss.2...
