System operating firmware
The feature set of the iLive system is determined by the firmware (operating software) that runs it. Firmware is updated regularly as new features are added and improvements made, and is available for download from the Allen & Heath web site. This guide relates to Version 1.9 firmware. Some of the details shown in this guide may differ from those in the current release of firmware. Refer to the web site for the latest version and read the Release Notes that come with each version of firmware for further details.
Note: Make sure all your iLive MixRacks, Surfaces and xDR expanders are running the same
version of firmware, and that the Editor software, MixPad and Tweak apps are compatible. xDR­16 expanders loaded with V1.9 firmware are not compatible with V1.8 or earlier iLive hardware.

iLive xDR-16 Getting Started Guide 3 AP8331 iss.2
Introduction
Two versions available:
The xDR-16 is a 3U rack mountable 16 input 8 output audio expander for the iLive digital mixing system. It provides an affordable solution for adding more sources and distributing audio. For example, you could have your MixRack on one side of stage, one xDR-16 on the other side, and provide more audio and another 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.
Up to two xDR-16 expanders may be added to a single MixRack system. One may be added to Dual­Rack or FOH/Monitor linked systems. To connect to the xDR-16 the iLive MixRack must be fitted with an ACE network option card in its Port B. System control is also possible at the expander location with a built-in network switch for connecting a laptop or wireless router. The xDR-16 is a network device within the iLive system and must therefore have a unique IP address.
The xDR-16 expander provides its own Port B slot allowing any of the iLive option cards to be fitted for additional networking, recording and personal monitoring at the expander location. Currently available are ACE are available to use within the system. iLive signals can be mapped in any combination to the expander XLR and Port B outputs.
To ensure trouble free connection and configuration and that you get the best out of your expanded iLive system, please read through the rest of this guide before starting.

The xDR-16
Mic/Line inputs High performance, recallable
analogue preamps for balanced or unbalanced microphone and line level signals. Gain, Pad and 48V are digitally controlled within the preamp. Digital Trim and Polarity are available within the DSP channel.
Inputs are identified by Slot (card position) and Socket (number), for example A1 or B8. Any input can be patched to any DSP channel using the PREAMP screen.
Line outputs Line level, balanced XLR outputs. Nominal level +4dBu with +22dBu maximum providing +18dB headroom.
iLive signals can be patched to any output socket using the OUTPUTS screen. The outputs are relay protected to prevent power on or off thumps.
AES digital out option Shown fitted in the last card position. Each socket handles two signals, in this case 5-6 and 7-8.
Rack Ears Fit into a 19” rack or flightcase.
Network A built-in 2 port network switch for plugging in a laptop or wifi router / access point located near the expander. Can also be used to bridge third party non-iLive network data over ACE to the network ports on the master MixRack. All devices on the iLive network must have compatible IP addresses. A recessed switch lets you reset the xDR IP address to factory default of 192.168.1.20.
ACE™ Port A Connect a single CAT5 cable up to 120m (400’) (depending on cable type) to link audio and control between the xDR and the MixRack. You do not need a separate Network cable because control is bridged over ACE. The xDR plugs into one of the two Link ports on the ACE option card fitted to Port B in the master MixRack.
SYSTEM LOCK indicates expander digital audio is sync locked to the MixRack.
Port B audio network option slot. If required, fit one of the
option cards available for system expansion, recording and distributed audio networking. Capable of up to 64 outputs and 48 inputs, 48kHz sampling rate.
Port B gets its signals from the MixRack via the xDR Port A ACE link and therefore shares audio with the XLR inputs and outputs. Refer to the Routing Map later in this guide for details on which signals are available.
Backup power supply input The xDR has a mains power supply built in. This socket lets you add the external iPS10 rack mount power supply as a redundant backup.
iLive xDR-16 Getting Started Guide 5 AP8331 iss.2
Mains power input Use the IEC
mains power cord provided with the xDR. The cord can be held in place using the plastic clip. Press the switch to power the unit on or off. Read the Safety Sheet provided with the unit before using the xDR-16.
Fan Do not obstruct the fan or the ventilation slots on the side of the unit.
Read these notes before starting
Analogue version: Firmware V1.8 +
AES digital version: Firmware V1.9 +
Firmware versions
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, or V1.9 for the AES digital version. Refer to
www.allen-heath.com for the latest version.
The system firmware can be updated via USB key plugged into the Surface or using Editor software. The MixRack must be connected to do this.
The xDR must connect to the MixRack
The xDR is an audio expander for the iLive system. It does not have any DSP or process audio. It must connect to the iLive MixRack (DSP mix engine). It may not be connected to a Surface or used by itself.
MixRack Port B must be fitted with ACE
The xDR-16 expander connects to the iLive MixRack via ACE. An M-ACE option card must be fitted to the MixRack Port B slot.
Link 1 Link 2
Single iLive system = Expander 1 Expander 2
Linked iLive system = Digital split Expander
Allen & Heath can provide:
Part AH7813 2m (6.6’) Neutrik Etherflex cable with EtherCon locking connectors.
Part AH7000 80m (264’) drum of Neutrik Etherflex with EtherCon locking connectors.
Part AH8721 120m (400’) drum of Neutrik Etherflex with EtherCon locking connectors.
Port B ACE Mode setting
Go to the MIXRACK SETUP / Mixer Pref screen to check that Port B ACE Mode option is correctly set for your application. Redundancy should be OFF.
ACE Link 1 and Link 2
The ACE card provides two ACE ports, Link 1 and Link 2. The expander can connect to either port, or two expanders one to each port.
If you are working with two iLive systems linked for
digital mic splitting (linked FOH/Monitors) or Dual­Rack (128 channels), then make sure Link 1 is
used for the system link, and Link 2 for the xDR expander.
CAT5 cable
The xDR-16 connects to the iLive MixRack using a CAT5 cable. A cable is not provided with the xDR because its length is specific to the application, local or remote.
Use STP (shielded twisted pair) CAT5e cable. We recommend that you use the Neutrik EtherCon connector which has a shell that protects the connections and locks it in place when plugged into the mating EtherCon socket provided on iLive. Protective dust caps are available for these connectors.
iLive xDR-16 Getting Started Guide 6 AP8331 iss.2
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.
Bridge Control Network cable
The iLive network must be bridged along with the audio over the Link 1 and Link 2 ACE connections so that the MixRack can control the connected xDR expanders.
Use the short CAT5 jumper cable provided with the
NETWORK
Short BRIDGE cable

Factory reset IP address defaults are:
MixRack 192.168.1.1 Sub mask 255.255.255.0 Surface 192.168.1.2 TouchScreen 192168.1.3
xDR-16 192.168.1.20
ACE card kit to connect from a MixRack NETWORK port to the ACE card BRIDGE port.
The xDR-16 does not need a Bridge cable as its ACE port has the network internally bridged.
TCP/IP network addresses
Note - If you are connecting two xDR expanders
you will need to change the IP address of one so that they do not have the same address. We recommend you set the second to 192.168.1.21. Connect one, change its address, then connect the other.
Note - If you are connecting the xDR to a MixRack
in a linked iLive system you may need to change the IP addresses of the second MixRack, Surface and TouchScreen to avoid conflict with the first system. This is because the two iLive system networks are bridged via ACE.
The xDR looks for a MixRack with default address
192.168.1.1 and connects automatically when it finds it. If the MixRack has a different address you will need to add the xDR manually. If the IP addresses have been changed or your system fails to connect you may need to reset the network settings.
To reset Network Settings
For the MixRack, Surface and xDR-16 locate the Reset Network Settings recessed switch next to the NETWORK ports.
To reset the IP addresses turn the system off. While using a thin, pointed object to press and hold in the recessed switch, turn the device back on. Hold the switch in for at least 15 seconds while it reboots. Release the switch. This will reset the addresses to factory default as shown in the table.
To reset the TouchScreen address go to its UTILTY
/ Network / Network Setup page and touch the
Reset Network Settings button. Touch Apply to
reboot the system.
iLive xDR-16 Getting Started Guide 7 AP8331 iss.2
Type in
192.168.1.20/Setup.html
to open this page
To change the iLive Network Settings
Go to the UTILTY / Network / Network Setup page. To access the MixRack settings make sure the drop down menu at bottom right of the screen displays MASTER. Make the changes to the settings. Touch Apply to accept and reboot the system.
To change the xDR Network Settings
With the xDR connected to the MixRack you can use the Network Setup screen as above but select xDR 1 or xDR 2 from the drop down menu.
If you are connecting two new xDR-16 expanders then they are likely to both have the same
192.168.1.20 default address. In this case connect one, change its address to 192.168.1.21, then connect the second.
Alternatively, power up the xDR while it is not connected to the MixRack, connect your laptop LAN (wired) port to the xDR NETWORK port and use your browser to find it. Make sure the LAN port is set for compatible static address, for example
192.168.1.10 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Adjust and Update the settings.
Note - The easiest way to work
with the iLive and xDR system is to use the default network settings. A single expander iLive system with default IP addresses will automatically connect. We recommend you use the default settings wherever possible.
Step by step instructions are provided later in this guide for adding the xDR-16 expander in various iLive applications.
To change the xDR Unit Name
The default name is xDR Expander. This can be changed if required.
Note - If you are adding two xDR expanders then
change the name of one or both so that they can be uniquely identified on the network.
Note - The xDR expander settings are stored in the
iDR MixRack it connects to, not the expander itself. They relate to which ACE port you plug into, Link 1 or Link 2. For this reason make sure you plug each expander into the correct ACE port.
Use the TouchScreen UTILTY / Network / Network
Setup page. Select the xDR from the drop down
menu at bottom right of the screen. Touch Apply to accept and reboot the system.
In most places within the iLive system the xDR expander is referred to as ‘xDR 1’ or ‘xDR 2’. This depends on which of the two ACE ports, Link 1 or Link 2 the xDR is plugged into.
The NETWORK ports
The xDR-16 features a built-in network switch with two ports. This lets you plug in your laptop or wifi router / access point at the xDR location if that is more convenient.
You can also transport third party non-iLive network traffic between the xDR and MixRack using ACE as a network tunnel.

Adding the xDR-16 expander
An xDR-16 is connected to ACE Link 1
Link 2 is available but no expander fitted
Auto detection
When connected for the first time, the xDR-16 looks for a MixRack with the default 192.168.1.1 address. It will connect automatically if it finds it.
To check expander status go to the TouchScreen
UTILTY / Network / Expander Setup page.
Manually add the expanders
If the MixRack IP address is not set to its default
192.168.1.1 then you will need to add the xDR expander manually using the TouchScreen UTILTY
/ Network / Expander Setup page. This needs
only to be done the first time the xDR is connected to the iLive system.
Touch the Add Expander button.
Note - If you are adding two xDR expanders then
make sure you have changed the name and IP address of one or both so that they can be uniquely identified on the network.
The list displays the available xDR expanders.
Highlight the one you want to add.
Touch Apply to inspect the expander.

iLive xDR-16 Getting Started Guide 12 AP8331 iss.2
Patching xDR signals
Patching single inputs
For each channel press the strip SEL key, open the
PREAMP screen and access the Source drop
down menu.
Select xDR 1 or xDR 2 as the source and then scroll the Slot and Socket to find the one you want to assign. Touch Apply to assign the source.
To assign the source from an option card fitted to the xDR Port B select xDR 1 Port B from the drop down menu.
Patching a range of inputs
Go to the MIXRACK SETUP / Mixer Pref / Quick
Input Source Select screen.
Select the range of input channels you wish to assign.
Select Remote (Port B) and the Start and End range from the xDR you wish to assign. For example:
X1-A5 = Expander 1 Slot A Socket 5
X1-12 = Expander 1 Port B input 12
Each expander provides 16 XLR mic preamps and allows assignment from its Port B channels.
xDR signals transported over ACE
Note - All inputs and outputs associated with both
xDR expanders and their Port B options are transported to/from the MixRack via the ACE connection. They share the 64 channels in each direction.
Patching the xDR outputs
Go to the MIXRACK SETUP / Mixer Pref /
Expanders screen to select which range of 8 of the
64 ACE sends are to feed the XLR sockets.
This choice depends on how you want to use the xDR Port B option if you have a card fitted. For example, the MMO (Mini Multi Out) card has a fixed map for its ADAT, iDR (HearBus) and Aviom outputs. You may want the XLR outputs mapped from other ACE channels to avoid clashing with the xDR Port B outputs you want to use.
To patch signals to the xDR go to the OUTPUTS /
Port B ACE screen. Scroll the Channel number
until the xDR 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.
