It would be illogical to carry this thing with me if I'm touring with some bands or music groups. I believe they used a long time to develop this product and deliver this to against consoles from Midas and Soundcraft which for me seems like a big concert level console. And the release of it is not recent, it's announced quite a half yr ago. Just forget the word ilive, it's only a name for a console trying to cath up with the trend The Allen Heath is about 2 times the size and much heavier than this live console

I agree it looks like the 1970s vision of 2000. maybee its made out of space age super lite materials. wow, I love it.

Nah... If I had one of these, I'd have to hook it up to voice activation and sit in a swivelly chair gravely intoning "Make it so!" all day. Submarine?

Look at the size of the upper panel, the enormous EQ section, the giant screen, and the amount of space between controls. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but this board isn't built for economy -- either in price or size. And anyone who spends any time around the applications they mention (theater, touring bands, churches) has to admit you don't see anything like this. Well, unless you're talking stadiums, U2, and megachurches. Don't get me wrong: this is a beautiful, beautiful board, in all its excess. And if you know a church who owns this, I'm free Sunday morning. DiG, come on.
