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. At Sweetwater, we’ve found that dLive systems are flexible enough to tackle any mixing challenge that we throw at them.

Transparent Workflow
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.

Incredible Tactile Control
The Allen & Heath dLive S3000 isn’t a digital mixer hiding under an analog-looking surface; it unleashes the full potential of digital, providing you with levels of control that are impossible in an all-analog world. If you’ve used a smartphone or tablet, you’ll find the S3000’s pinch, swipe, drag, and drop gestures familiar and incredibly easy to grasp. A dedicated multimode EQ view makes sound shaping as easy as wiggling your fingers. Configurable widget areas provide you with quick access to scenes, meters, effects, and other customizable controls. One-knob/one-function rotary controls and assignable SoftKeys give you immediate control over processing functions.
