Introduction
dLive is a distributed digital mixing system providing a uniquely flexible solution for any live sound
application. It separates the mix engine from the control surface, putting the audio and processing where it
is needed, and offering a host of control and audio networking possibilities. Refer to the Allen & Heath
website to find out more about dLive.
The
MixRack
is the heart of any dLive system. It houses the XCVI processing core complete with audio I/O,
control and audio networking ports. It is typically connected to a dLive Surface, but can also be controlled
at the same time as or even without a Surface using a laptop or iPad, Allen & Heath IP remotes or third
party controllers via TCP/IP. The system can be expanded by adding up to 3 DX32 modular racks/6 DX168
portable expanders, and is compatible with the ME personal mixing system.

dLive MixRacks
There are different sizes of dLive MixRack available. All feature the same mix engine and differ only in the
number of analogue I/O. All models can work with the full 128 channels by adding DX expanders or patching
digital sources.
