Allen & Heath dLive C3500 Control Surface for MixRack

Allen & Heath dLive C3500 Control Surface

The Allen & Heath dLive C3500 Control Surface is engineered to provide professional audio engineers with comprehensive control, exceptional flexibility, and intuitive operation for demanding live sound environments. Designed as part of the dLive ecosystem, the C3500 combines advanced digital mixing capabilities with a streamlined interface that simplifies workflow while maximizing operational efficiency.

At the core of the system are dual 12-inch touchscreens that provide extensive visual feedback and fast access to critical mixing functions. Supporting familiar pinch, swipe, and drag-and-drop gestures, the interface allows engineers to navigate channels, processing, effects, and system controls with speed and precision. The control surface also incorporates 24 faders and six assignable one-knob/one-function rotary controllers, offering direct tactile access to essential parameters during live productions.

The C3500 is designed around a transparent workflow philosophy. Assignable inputs, customizable layouts, virtual scribble strips, and 19 programmable SoftKeys enable users to tailor the console to their preferred operating style. Every input and mix can be assigned across banks and layers, while color-coded labeling enhances channel identification and operational clarity. The dual displays maintain excellent visibility in outdoor environments, ensuring reliable operation in a wide range of applications.

When paired with a dLive MixRack, the C3500 becomes part of a highly scalable mixing system capable of handling up to 160 x 64 inputs and outputs at 96kHz. The platform supports extensive connectivity and expansion options, including Dante, Waves SG, ACE, MADI, and ME personal monitoring systems. Suitable for touring productions, theaters, houses of worship, corporate AV environments, and multipurpose venues, the Allen & Heath dLive C3500 Control Surface delivers powerful control, advanced processing access, and professional-grade scalability.
