1. 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. The Surface is effectively a network controller for the MixRack, with the
addition of built-in audio I/O and audio networking ports. The system can be expanded by adding up to 3
DX32 modular racks, and is compatible with the ME personal mixing system.
