Low Latency Built around our 96kHz XCVI processing core, all dLive systems feature 128 input channels, 64 mix outputs, a configurable 64-bus architecture, our acclaimed DEEP Processing, and class-leading 0.7ms latency from analogue in to analogue out. Bus processing latency is automatically compensated for to deliver phase coherency on mix outputs, providing clear and accurate summing, without any increase to the super-low system latency. Modular System Design Unrivalled Flexibility dLive’s modular mix-and-match approach to system design enables you to build the perfect system for your application with all the control and I/O you need, from high input count multi-surface setups to ultra-compact surfaceless setups, with minimal configuration and setup time. And moving between different dLive systems isn’t a chore, show files can be easily transferred between dLive systems without time-consuming show file conversion or reconstruction. Advanced Routing Supermassive I/O The XCVI core’s parallel mixing engines enables over 800 system inputs and outputs, which can be achieved via our exhaustive range of I/O and digital networking options, to feed the 128 input processing channels and 64 mix outputs. The powerful tie-line feature can be used to directly patch system inputs to outputs, with the MixRack automatically handling sample rate and format conversion, for clean splits and feeds to other systems, all without consuming any input channels or processing power. DEEP Processing Studio Classics And Live Favourites On Every Channel Trusted by platinum-selling artists on stadium tours, DEEP puts incredible emulations of legendary hardware directly within dLive’s input and mix channels with zero latency. No burning FX slots, no 3rd party gear hassles and no issues with latency or phase coherency. From much loved studio compressors to game-changing live source expanders, DEEP gives you all the tools you need inside the MixRack. Dyn8 Engine Dynamic EQ. Multiband Compression. And Lots Of It Every dLive system includes 64 Dyn8 engines, comprising 4 bands of multiband compression and 4 bands of dynamic EQ, which can be used to tame unruly vocals, add cohesion to IEM mixes and tighten up any source or bus. Dyn8 can be used on any combination of 64 input or mix channels in a dLive system. RackUltra FX Cutting Edge technology.
