The Allen & Heath AH-DLIVE-DM48 MixRack is the heart of any dLive system. housing the XCVI processing core. The DM48 is compatible with any dLive S class or C class Surface. It also can be ran with a laptop, iPad, via the Allen & Heath range of IP controllers, or with third part controlers via TCP/IP. All dLive MixRacks are capable of mixing the full 128 x 64 channels by using DX expanders or through patching digital sources
XCVI Core
The power of dLive emanates from the XCVI Core - pioneered by the Allen & Heath R&D team using next generation FPGA technology, with 36 parallel virtual processing cores generating enough power for 160×64 channels of processing at 96kHz sampling rate. Six parallel mixing engines within the Core calculate over 10,000 cross points per sample, while the FPGA router has capacity for 3,000 x 3,000 audio paths. The massive power of XCVI (25 billion operations per second) allows dLive to deliver 128 full processing inputs and 16 stereo FX returns, a configurable 64 bus architecture, variable bit depth for ultimate precision and noise performance, a virtually infinite mix headroom thanks to a 96bit accumulator, and class leading latency at an ultra-low 0.7ms.
DEEP Processing
Our DEEP processing architecture embeds class-leading compressors and processing emulations directly within dLive's input and mix channels. An array of bespoke algorithms including Graphic EQs, Compressors and a 64 channel Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM) can be inserted on the fly without burning FX slots and without the setup, latency and license hassles associated with external plug-ins - they're right there, where you need them, whenever you need them. The compressor models capture the audio nuances and non-linear ballistics of industry classics, ranging from a Slow-Opto model, various RMS detection and soft knee circuits, through to super-fast peak and RMS based compression/limiting devices.
