XVIVE More You 2X

Product overview

The XVIVE More You 2X is the expansion station of MORE YOU, XVIVE's expandable audio interface and personal monitoring system: two inputs and your own monitor mix, right in front of you.

The 2X must be connected to a More You HUB, and up to seven 2X units can be chained from a Hub. Each musician gets two combo inputs (XLR + 1/4 inch) for a microphone and an instrument, 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch jacks for headphones or in-ear monitors, and their own Level and Reverb for their own inputs; the rest of the mix is set at the Hub. Audio, Talkback and power travel to the Hub over one standard XLR cable through the MORE PORT.

Your own station

The 2X sits on a microphone stand right in front of you. Plug in your microphone and guitar, plug in headphones, earbuds or in-ears, and control the volume of each input at any time, adding reverb on either or both inputs if and as desired. Because you plug in right in front of you, shorter cables give maximum headroom and signal integrity.

Linked by the MORE PORT

The MORE PORT connects the 2X to the rest of the system through a standard XLR microphone cable, with no Ethernet or special digital cabling. One XLR cable carries up to 24 input signals and 20 output signals, the Talkback audio and power, from one power source connected to the Hub.

Mixing, preamps and Auto Gain

The overall mix is set at the Hub, where the Live Cue System offers Level and Pan with Gain, 48 V phantom power, Phase and Hi-Pass Filter for each input, including the inputs of every 2X. Auto Gain works on one channel or on all channels connected to the MORE PORT. With the Hub connected to a computer, every 2X input can be recorded, and players hear their plug-ins through their own 2X station.

Talkback and power

Each 2X has a talkback microphone, so musicians communicate without removing their headphones. The 2X is powered via the Hub, either from the computer or from a USB power source; the Hub's power button switches the entire system, and the most recent settings of every unit are recalled at the next start.

FAQs

Can the More You 2X be used on its own?

No. The 2X is an expansion unit and must be connected to a More You HUB, which connects the system to the computer and the studio monitors.

How many 2X units can I add?

Up to seven 2X units can be chained from a Hub, for a system of up to eight stations.

How is the 2X powered?

Through the Hub, over the MORE PORT XLR cable: the Hub takes its power from the computer or from a USB power source (a standard 65 W USB power supply for larger systems).

Where can I buy the XVIVE More You 2X in India?

The XVIVE More You 2X is available from Shivansh Electronics, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, with delivery across India.
