dLive
128 Channel / 64 Bus Digital Mixers
Design for Live
dLive is Allen & Heath’s flagship digital mixing platform, designed for demanding touring, corporate AV, houses of worship, broadcast, and install applications.
dLive MixRacks & Surfaces
dLive MixRacks
At the heart of every dLive system is the MixRack, capable of 128×64 channels of pristine sounding 96kHz audio.
More Info
dLive Surfaces
With seven dLive Surfaces available, from the airline-friendly CTi1500 to the 36-fader S7000, there’s a Surface for every application.
More InfoXCVI
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.
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.
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.
dLive Surfaces
Take Control of the
MixRack
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.
S Class and C Class Compared
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.
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.
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
Integrated Tools
Work Smarter
dLive includes numerous tools to make the setting up and running of a show as quick and easy as possible for the engineer.
From our next-generation 61-band RTA to Shure and Sennheiser RF integration, A/B/C/D inputs and Talkback Groups to Virtual Soundcheck, dLive allows you to spend more time working on the mix and less time worrying about the technology.
Scene System
Do More With Scenes
dLive’s extensive scene management system packs a host of powerful features including highly granular recall filters and global safes, absolute and relative parameter updates across multiple scenes with auto-tracking option, cue-lists for simplified handling of set lists and cues, plus a scene import function for visiting engineers.
I/O Expansion
I/O and Networking

dLive MixRacks
The Heart of Every
dLive System
All dLive MixRacks feature the same mix engine – 128 input channels and 64 mix outputs with a configurable 64-bus architecture, class-leading 0.7ms latency and phase-aligned signal paths for maximum flexibility in all applications – but differ in the number of onboard analogue I/O, redundancy options and digital I/O card slots.

dLive MixPad and the dLive Surface can work together to provide simultaneous control of independent functions, for example one engineer using the Surface to mix front-of-house sound, and another using the iPad to mix monitors on stage.
dLive OneMix
Personal Monitoring
OneMix is a personal mixing app for dLive, allowing performers to take control of their own monitor mixes.
dLive OneMix can be configured to provide as much or as little control as needed, and multiple iPads running OneMix may be connected to give each musician control of their monitor mix without the risk of affecting the other monitors or front of house mix.
