Allen & Heath dLive S7000 S Class MixRack Control Surface

The digital-focused S7000 Control Surface is for Allen & Heath’s dLive MixRack. The S7000 is the largest control Surface in the dLive family, with a whopping 216 assignable fader strips. Allen & Heath’s dLive is a true digital native, adapting its console design to be intuitive in the era of smartphones, tablets, and other ubiquitous technology. Add to that the innovative Harmony IU and dLive delivers a faster, more efficient workflow that’s powerful and easy to customize.

Enjoy the versatility and flexibility of a digital console without sacrificing any hands-on control. The S7000 boasts two capacitive touchscreens that give you data updates at a glance and let you make adjustments with the flick of a finger. Their 12” size gives you plenty of room to pinch, swipe, drag and drop, and otherwise manipulate your settings until they’re exactly right. Console illumination has been optimized so you can easily read your settings whether you’re in dark rooms or outside in the sun.

Set up customized “widget” areas on the displays to track scenes, meters, FX, and other controls. Framing each display is a set of one knob/one function rotary controls, giving you instant tactile control over key processing functions. These rotary knobs have been prototyped 20+ times to optimize their grip and precision and are RGB-backlit for even more visual reference.

Featuring 36 faders over 6 layers, as well as built-in audio I/O and audio networking ports, the S7000 offers tons of options that let you personalize the way you create. Assign every input or mix to any (or every) bank and/or layer. Virtual scribble strips let you clearly label and color-code your inputs and mixes. Further personalize your setup with 26 assignable SoftKeys, plus 3 pages of 6 assignable rotaries per screen.

All dLive consoles perfectly balance strength and weight, making them the ideal gear for audio on the road. The S7000 is constructed of metal on the sides, with folded steel at key points to further strengthen its build. Every audio connection throughout the system is engineered for dual redundancy, so you can focus on your performance confident that your gear won’t let you down mid-show.
