What is the advantage of motorized faders for remote mixing control?

Eight motorized faders automatically follow your mixes across layers and provide physical fader feedback, letting operators feel and see level changes in real-time without needing a full mixing console.

How does the six-layer programming benefit a dLive mixing workflow?

Six programmable layers allow your operator to organize and control complex mixes—assigning channels, aux sends, or effects to different layers and switching between them on the fly during an event.

Is the IP8 suitable as a mixing surface extension for a large setup?

Yes, the IP8 works as a surface extension sidecar or standalone remote controller, letting you add fader control to a surfaceless dLive system or extend the mixing capabilities of an existing surface.

Can the IP8 be used for installed audio control in a permanent venue?

Yes, it's designed for installed audio control in fixed systems like auditoriums or conference centers, offering flexible remote fader management for preset-heavy operations.

How is the IP8 powered—do we need a dedicated power source?

The IP8 is powered via PoE+ over standard Ethernet cable, or alternatively via an external 12V PSU, offering flexible installation options for venues and installed systems.
