Allen & Heath AH-DLIVE-CDM48-RUFX

Overview

Step up to the new standard in creative live audio production with Allen & Heath's C-class mix racks featuring dLive V2.0 and the new RackUltra FX suite powered by the RackUltra FX card. With powerful new reverbs like Spaces Reverb Designer and Plate Reverb Designer, you can recreate physical spaces and capture characterful plate reverb sounds with unprecedented realism. Take control of vocal processing with Vocal Tuner, Vocal Gridder, and Vocal Shifter, offering studio-quality pitch correction and vocal manipulation right from your console. Enhance your mix with three harmonizers, including Quad Voice Harmonizer and MIDI Harmonizer, and add depth with the new distortion effects: Saturation and Amp+Cab distortion. Plus, with the RackUltra FX Card, you get 8 powerful FX engines without sacrificing any of your system's resources. And that's not all. dLive V2.0 also brings powerful new workflow improvements, from a revamped Cue List system to the versatile Actions feature and an extended Channel Library.

At the heart of every dLive MixRack are Allen & Heath's legendary preamps and Active PAD circuit, which flawlessly capture and pass your analog signal onto the XCVI processing core. With a 96kHz signal path and variable bit depth, the system possesses an unmatched noise floor that results in virtually infinite dynamic range. Expand your I/O with 2 DX ports, and easily configure your setup with plug-and-play connectivity and ultra-low transport latency. Take control with dLive Director software on your PC or Mac, the dLive MixPad app for iPad, or A&H's small-format IP Controllers, offering the flexibility to mix anywhere in the venue. All items sold separately. Create the mix in your head with the dLive CDM48 RUFX!
