Overview
dLive CTi1500 Compact Touring. Re-engineered & Ready for Takeoff.
Since its launch, C1500 has become a firm favourite in compact touring, particularly where size and weight need to be carefully balanced against audio requirements.
CTi1500 takes this no-compromise compact concept even further. On the outside, the side trims have been replaced by Titanium panels, lightweight, super-strong and a first in touring mixer design. The rear and base panels have also been re-engineered to cut the weight but retain strength. Internally the weight loss continues, with new alloy metalwork throughout. The front panel remains largely the same as a C1500, providing the familiar dLive feel, but redesigned to replace the armrest with sleek steel curves.
Loaded with an I/O card of your choice, and snugly wrapped in its dust cover, CTi1500 can fly under 23kg / 50lbs in a custom flight case.
