Allen & Heath dLive C1500 Control Surface

The Allen & Heath dLive C1500 Control Surface is designed to provide professional engineers with an intuitive and highly flexible control platform for dLive mixing systems. Combining advanced digital technology with a streamlined workflow, the C1500 delivers comprehensive control through a compact and portable format suitable for live sound, corporate AV, theaters, houses of worship, and multipurpose venues.

At the heart of the system is a responsive 12-inch touchscreen that supports familiar pinch, swipe, drag, and drop gestures. This modern interface allows users to access mixing functions quickly while maintaining precise control over audio processing. A dedicated multi-mode EQ view simplifies sound shaping, while configurable widget areas provide instant access to scenes, meters, effects, and other essential functions. The addition of 19 customizable SoftKeys enables engineers to tailor operation to their preferred workflow.

The C1500 features 12 faders with six layers of mixing, providing extensive channel access while maintaining a compact footprint. Assignable inputs and outputs allow users to customize channel layouts, while virtual scribble strips offer clear naming and color coding for fast identification during live operation. The display is engineered for excellent visibility, even in bright outdoor environments.

When paired with a dLive MixRack, the C1500 becomes part of a highly scalable digital mixing ecosystem capable of supporting up to 160 x 64 inputs and outputs at 96kHz. The system supports multiple networking and expansion options, including Dante, Waves SG, ACE, MADI, and ME personal monitoring integration. With powerful processing, flexible connectivity, and a user-focused interface, the Allen & Heath dLive C1500 Control Surface provides a professional solution for demanding audio production environments.
