Allen & Heath DLIVE-CDM48 dLive C Class MixRack 48x24 I/O

Introducing the Allen & Heath dLive CDM48 MixRack
The Allen & Heath dLive CDM48 is a powerful MixRack that serves as the central processing unit for the dLive audio system. With 48 mic/line inputs and 24 line outputs, this MixRack is designed to handle the demands of professional audio environments, from live events to studio recordings. The CDM48 is equipped with the innovative XCVI processing core, which not only enhances audio quality but also offers extensive control capabilities. Whether you connect it to a dLive Surface or operate it remotely using a laptop, iPad, or compatible third-party controllers, this MixRack provides a comprehensive solution for all your mixing needs.

Unmatched Processing Power with XCVI Core
At the core of the dLive CDM48 lies the advanced XCVI processing core, which employs cutting-edge FPGA technology to deliver exceptional audio performance. Featuring 36 parallel processing cores, this MixRack can manage up to 160×64 channels at a sampling rate of 96kHz. With the ability to perform over 25 billion operations per second, the XCVI core provides stunning audio clarity and ultra-low latency of just 0.7ms. This impressive power enables the dLive system to accommodate 128 full processing inputs, 16 stereo FX returns, and a versatile 64 bus architecture, making it a robust choice for any audio application.

DEEP Processing for Flexible Sound Control
The dLive CDM48 incorporates DEEP processing architecture, which allows for the integration of high-quality compressors and processing emulations directly into the mixing channels. This feature enables users to access an array of specialized algorithms, including graphic EQs and automatic mic mixers, without consuming FX slots. The embedded compressor models replicate the intricate audio characteristics and dynamics of classic units, providing users with a range of compression options to enhance their sound. With DEEP processing, you can adapt to various mixing scenarios seamlessly, making it ideal for both live and recorded applications.

Versatile RackExtra FX for Enhanced Audio Effects
The RackExtra FX feature elevates the dLive CDM48 by combining the exceptional sound quality of boutique plug-ins with the efficiency of onboard processing. With 16 FX slots, each equipped with dedicated stereo returns, users can incorporate reverb, delay, and modulation effects into their mixes with ease. The onboard DSP leverages the power of the XCVI core to ensure low latency, enabling creative sound design without interruptions. This integration provides sound engineers and musicians with the flexibility to achieve their desired audio signature while maintaining high fidelity.

Automatic Mic Mixer for Professional Applications
The Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM) functionality is a standout feature of the dLive CDM48, capable of controlling up to 64 microphones simultaneously. This is particularly beneficial for spoken word events such as conferences and panel discussions, where clarity and feedback management are essential. The AMM minimizes phase interference and enhances intelligibility, allowing for a more professional audio experience. With the ability to manage multiple zones from a single interface, the dLive CDM48 is perfect for complex setups where effective audio control is crucial.
