Using the Allen & Heath dLive S3000 is simple. A quick glance at this console tells you everything you need to know. Despite the incredible arsenal of functions available, you won't find yourself lost in complex menus. You don't need to adapt to a different way of working to mix on the S3000. Its layout is completely customizable, so you can create a mixing interface that matches the way you like to work. Every input or mix can be assigned to every bank and/or layer. Virtual scribble strips ensure that all inputs and mixes are clearly named and color coded. And the S3000's screen remains clearly visible in sunny outdoor settings.
dLive systems offer insane levels of expandability
The Allen & Heath dLive S3000, when used in conjunction with MixRacks and expanders, combines to form a powerful and infinitely expandable system. A dLive system is capable of delivering up to a mind-boggling 848 x 848 inputs and outputs, all running at 96kHz. The MixRack is the brain of the system, containing the XCVI core, and is supported by a whole host of surfaces, apps, software, TCP/IP control, and IP remotes, all of which provide different means of controlling the mixer. You get five 128-channel I/O ports that support Dante, Waves SG, ACE, and MADI, along with DX32 modular I/O expanders and full compatibility with ME personal mixing systems.
Durable high-grade metal construction
The Allen & Heath dLive S3000 is built like a tank. In fact, Allen & Heath's lead mechanical designer used to be a tank commander. The S3000 boasts the optimal balance between strength and weight, with higher-grade metal on the sides and folded steel at key points to safeguard it against the rigors of the road. A dual redundant hot-swappable power supply capability offers amazing reliability. Every audio connection is also dual-redundant.
