Allen & Heath M-MICIN 8-Channel Mic Preamp Input Module
The Allen & Heath M-MICIN provides eight high-performance analogue mic/line preamp inputs for iLive systems, with remotely controlled gain, pad, and phantom power via network connection, 1dB gain resolution over an 80dB range, and 24-bit low-latency converters feeding the mix engine.Overview
The Allen & Heath M-MICIN is the primary audio input module for the iLive system, delivering eight high-performance analogue preamps for both microphone and line-level signals. Front-end gain, pad, and phantom power are all remotely controlled via the network connection from the Surface or PC, with settings storable and recallable as part of iLive system memories. The preamps offer a wide gain range of −65dBu to +30dBu with 1dB resolution and 80dB total range, feeding the mix engine through 24-bit, low-noise, low-latency converters.

Frequently Asked Questions
When would our organization use eight-channel mic preamps in a live sound system?
Eight-channel preamp inputs suit live events, venue installations, and broadcast setups where you're running multiple microphones from stage, audience, and instruments simultaneously into a digital mixer.
Can we adjust microphone input levels remotely during a live event?
Yes, this module features remotely controlled gain adjustment via network connection, letting your audio operator manage mic levels from the console or control station without walking to the stage.
Do professional condenser microphones work with this module?
Yes, it provides remotely controlled phantom power on each channel to support all professional condenser microphones requiring the standard 48V phantom supply.
Why does 1dB gain resolution matter for our setup?
Fine 1dB steps across the 80dB gain range give precise control over mic levels, avoiding abrupt jumps and ensuring smooth, professional audio for presentations and live performances.
What advantage do 24-bit low-latency converters provide for broadcast or recording?
24-bit conversion delivers studio-quality audio capture with minimal delay, essential for live streaming, multitrack recording, or real-time monitoring in professional settings.
Is this module suitable for permanent installed systems in venues or facilities?
Yes, it's designed for iLive systems commonly deployed in auditoriums, houses of worship, conference centers, and broadcast facilities requiring fixed audio infrastructure.
What is the precise maximum gain available on each channel?
Each channel provides an 80dB gain range with 1dB resolution; contact Procure.ae to confirm the exact maximum gain in decibels.
