The Allen & Heath DLIVE-CDM48 digital mixing console is an ideal choice for sound professionals looking for a complete and versatile solution.
With its 48 inputs and 24 outputs expandable via DX and I/O ports, it offers a flexible configuration of up to 128 input channels and 64 outputs. Its 64 buses are configurable for groups, effects, aux, matrices and main configurations in LR, LCR, and up to 5.1, guaranteeing adaptability to all audio production requirements.

Thanks to its 96kHz FPGA XCVI processor and its 96-bit accumulator, the DLIVE-CDM48 ensures exceptional sound quality and an almost limitless mixing headroom. 24-bit Delta-Sigma ADC/DAC conversion, combined with a dynamic range of 110dB, captures every nuance of sound and processing with remarkable clarity and precision. Latency of just 0.7ms ensures immediate responsiveness, essential for live performances and studio recording sessions.

This console integrates a DEEP processing system, offering advanced plugins such as emulations of compressors and graphic equalizers, as well as 16 RackExtra effects with dedicated stereo returns which allow you to process the sound as you wish according to the needs of the musicians and the constraints of the place of broadcast.
The Automatic Mic Mixer (AMM) supports up to 64 channels across 4 zones to optimize mic management even in complex environments.

The DLIVE-CDM48 also excels in connectivity, with a GigaACE port that ensures rapid transmission of digital audio data, two DX ports for simplified I/O expansion, and a dedicated ME-1 port for integration of the personal mixing system. The Wordclock port plays a very important role in ensuring perfect synchronization of the different devices to avoid phase and desynchronization problems.

Designed for easy installation in a standard 19" rack, the DLIVE-CDM48 features reversible rack ears for front or back installation, and its ultra-quiet fan guarantees discreet operation.

With the DLIVE-CDM48 from Allen & Heath, audio professionals can achieve peak performance, both on stage and in the studio, with impressive sound quality and flexibility.
