Overview
The IP8 is an 8 fader remote controller with motorised faders, eight LCD displays and 23 assignable SoftKeys across six layers, for 48 channels of control. Configure the faders for levels, sends or pans. Live, it turns a dLive MixRack and a laptop running Director into a surfaceless system, or sits beside a dLive or Avantis surface as an extra fader bank. In install, it gives non technical users proper faders for mics and music sources in a room.
It connects over TCP/IP on a locking EtherCon, powered by PoE (802.3at) or the supplied 12V PSU. Use it freestanding, or fix it into a plinth, podium or wall with the IP8-MOUNT kit.

Forefront Tip
The IP8 needs 802.3at (PoE+) from the switch, not the 802.3af that runs an IP6 or IP1. If your switch only supplies 802.3af, use the supplied 12V PSU.
