Allen and Heath dLive C2500 Compact Digital Mixing Control Surface - Price on Request

Compact Power, Unrivaled Control

The Allen & Heath dLive C2500 is a small-footprint, high-performance control surface designed to unlock the full potential of the dLive MixRack system. Engineered for mixing engineers who demand the power of a large-format console in a portable chassis, the C2500 is the perfect solution for touring professionals, house of worship installs, and multi-purpose theaters. By moving the heavy-duty DSP processing to the MixRack, this surface provides a transparent, customizable interface that allows you to focus entirely on the art of the mix.

Harmony UI: The Intuitive Digital Native
Unlike many consoles that attempt to mimic old-school analog workflows, the dLive C2500 is a "digital native". It utilizes a 12-inch capacitive touchscreen that responds to the same pinches, swipes, and drag-and-drop gestures you use on your smartphone every day. This is seamlessly integrated with RGB-illuminated rotary controls, providing tactile, high-grip precision that works in perfect harmony with the visual feedback on the screen.

Transparent Workflow for Your Mental Map
The C2500 is built to adapt to you, not the other way around. Every input and mix can be assigned to any of the 120 fader strips across six layers, allowing you to create a layout that reflects your personal "mental map" of the show. With virtual scribble strips for instant color-coded identification and 19 assignable SoftKeys, you can put the most critical functions exactly where your fingers expect them to be.

Elite 96kHz Audio Performance
Even in its compact form, the C2500 offers uncompromising audio quality. It features 96kHz sampling rates and a 64-bus internal architecture, ensuring massive headroom and pristine transparency for every performance. Whether you are managing complex IEM mixes or a main front-of-house feed, the system’s ultra-low latency of 0.7ms ensures that your audio is as responsive as your interface.
