Allen & Heath dLive Digital Mixers

Design for Live

128 Channel / 64 Bus Digital Mixers

Firmly established at the leading edge of the new wave of digital consoles, dLive has rapidly earned its reputation for superior audio quality, next generation workflows, stunning FX and faithful processing emulations.

dLive

XCVI

High Power. Low Latency

Built around our 96kHz XCVI processing core, all dLive systems feature 128 input channels, 64 mix outputs, a configurable 64-bus architecture, our acclaimed DEEP Processing, and class-leading 0.7ms latency from analogue in to analogue out.

Bus processing latency is automatically compensated for to deliver phase coherency on mix outputs, providing clear and accurate summing, without any increase to the super-low system latency.

Modular System Design

Unrivalled Flexibility

dLive’s modular mix-and-match approach to system design enables you to build the perfect system for your application with all the control and I/O you need, from high input count multi-surface setups to ultra-compact surfaceless setups, with minimal configuration and setup time.

And moving between different dLive systems isn’t a chore, show files can be easily transferred between dLive systems without time-consuming show file conversion or reconstruction.

Advanced Routing

Supermassive I/O

The XCVI core’s parallel mixing engines enables over 800 system inputs and outputs, which can be achieved via our exhaustive range of I/O and digital networking options, to feed the 128 input processing channels and 64 mix outputs.

The powerful tie-line feature can be used to directly patch system inputs to outputs, with the MixRack automatically handling sample rate and format conversion, for clean splits and feeds to other systems, all without consuming any input channels or processing power.

DEEP Processing

Studio Classics And Live Favourites On Every Channel

Trusted by platinum-selling artists on stadium tours, DEEP puts incredible emulations of legendary hardware directly within dLive’s input and mix channels with zero latency. No burning FX slots, no 3rd party gear hassles and no issues with latency or phase coherency.

From much loved studio compressors to game-changing live source expanders, DEEP gives you all the tools you need inside the MixRack.

Dyn8 Engine

Dynamic EQ. Multiband Compression. And Lots Of It

Every dLive system includes 64 Dyn8 engines, comprising 4 bands of multiband compression and 4 bands of dynamic EQ, which can be used to tame unruly vocals, add cohesion to IEM mixes and tighten up any source or bus.

Dyn8 can be used on any combination of 64 input or mix channels in a dLive system.

dLive S Class & C Class Compared

dLive-S-Class-600.jpg.webp

S Class

dLive S Class hardware is designed for professional touring, broadcast, and permanent installations, with dual power supply slots for redundancy, and dual redundant audio connections.

With higher-grade metal on the sides and folded steel at key points for added rigidity, dLive S Class is built to endure everything that you can throw at it. Without missing a beat.

dLive-C-Class-600.jpg.webp

C Class

If you don’t need dLive S Class’ fully redundant power and audio connections, dLive C Class hardware puts the same channel count and processing power in a more compact and lightweight form factor.

dLive C Class is the perfect solution where space is at a premium, such as theatres, houses of worship, educational establishments and corporate AV.

A dLive Surface is the most popular way to control a dLive MixRack. With seven models available, from the airline-friendly CTi1500 to the 36-fader S7000, there’s a Surface for every application.
