One of the first events Cummings did with his iLive-T was the National Day of Prayer at Miami's Faith Centre, which seats about 4,000. The event was also recorded by the Telemundo network. "A situation came up," recalls Cummings, "where a guest musician taking the stage inadvertently crossed through my cordoned off power management area and tripped the power to the iLive-T control surface.
"But, since the mix engine is in the MixRack which has redundant power supplies, we never lost any audio. All mics and speakers stayed live. I restored power, and in less than a minute, the control surface was rebooted with all settings in place. The band started the next song and never missed a beat, pretty amazing. The audience never knew. It was seamless, and it proved to me what a well-engineered piece of gear this is. I turned into a total iLive fan at that point."
