I've always said Ablay-ton, but I was talking to a friend who pronounced it Able-ton.

SNH, please let me know I'm not illiterate.

I call it 'Live', because that's its real name.
When pronouncing the company name, I would normally say Able-ton, but I make an effort to say 'Ablay-tone' because I have heard many French people at demonstrations or talks say it that way and it sounds funny with a mock French twang. The heads of the company say 'Able-ton' btw, almost 'Able-tone'.
