Allen&Heath DLIVE-CDM48

At the heart of the dLive system is the Allen & Heath dLive AH-DLIVE-CDM48-RUFX MixRack Stage Box, capable of 128x64 channels of pristine sounding 96kHz audio.

The Allen & Heath dLive AH-DLIVE-CDM48-RUFX MixRack Stage Box features 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 analog I/O, redundancy options and digital I/O card slots.

The acclaimed preamp design, optimized for transparency and clarity, combined with our unique Active PAD circuit for consistent performance regardless of source, delivers the highest quality analogue signal to the MixRack’s XCVI processing core.

In the digital domain, the 96kHz signal path employs variable bit depth throughout for optimal noise performance and precision with virtually infinite dynamic range thanks to the 96-bit accumulator.
