Allen & Heath dLive C2500 Control Surface for MixRack

Allen & Heath dLive C2500 Control Surface

The Allen & Heath dLive C2500 Control Surface is designed to provide engineers with a powerful and intuitive interface for professional digital mixing applications. Combining advanced touchscreen technology with tactile hardware controls, the C2500 delivers an efficient workflow that simplifies complex live sound operations while maintaining the flexibility required for demanding productions.

At the center of the system is a responsive 12-inch touchscreen that supports familiar pinch, swipe, and drag-and-drop gestures. This modern interface allows users to navigate channels, processing, and system functions quickly and efficiently. Complementing the touchscreen are 20 motorized faders and six assignable one-knob/one-function rotary controls, providing immediate hands-on access to key mixing parameters. A dedicated multi-mode EQ view streamlines sound shaping, while configurable widget areas allow quick access to scenes, metering, effects, and system controls.

The C2500 is engineered for clear visual feedback and a transparent operating experience. Assignable inputs, virtual scribble strips, and customizable SoftKeys allow engineers to create a personalized workflow tailored to their preferences. Inputs and mixes can be assigned across multiple banks and layers, while color-coded labeling improves channel identification during fast-paced live productions. The display is also optimized for visibility in bright outdoor environments.

When paired with a dLive MixRack, the C2500 becomes part of a highly expandable mixing platform capable of supporting up to 160 x 64 inputs and outputs at 96kHz. The system integrates seamlessly with Dante, Waves SG, ACE, MADI, and ME personal monitoring solutions. Suitable for touring, corporate AV, houses of worship, theaters, and multipurpose venues, the Allen & Heath dLive C2500 Control Surface delivers exceptional control, scalability, and operational flexibility for professional audio environments.
