Allen & Heath dLive CDM64-U MixRack 64-input Digital Stage Box - Price on Request

The Powerhouse Engine for Absolute Sonic Command

The Allen & Heath dLive CDM64-U is the high-performance heart of the dLive ecosystem, housing the revolutionary XCVI processing core in a space-saving 5U rack format. Designed for mixing engineers in corporate AV, prestigious installations, and regional rental houses, this MixRack provides the massive 96kHz processing power of the S Class in a portable, cost-effective chassis. Whether you are running a complex theatre production or a high-stakes broadcast, the CDM64-U delivers the transparency and reliability required for the world’s most demanding stages.

Revolutionary FPGA Processing Power
At the core of the CDM64-U is the XCVI 160x64 FPGA engine, which utilizes 36 parallel processing cores to deliver a staggering 25 billion operations per second. This architecture ensures an ultra-low latency of <0.7ms and virtually infinite mix headroom thanks to a 96-bit accumulator. For the engineer, this translates to a wide, open soundstage with perfect phase coherency across every bus, allowing your mix to breathe even in the most complex routing scenarios.

Elite Vocal Tools and RackUltra FX
The CDM64-U comes pre-equipped with the RackUltra FX card, adding eight additional stereo FX engines to your arsenal without consuming existing mix buses or input channels. This dedicated hardware allows you to deploy studio-grade vocal pitch correction, harmonizers, and saturation models directly within the rack. By embedding these boutique algorithms directly into the FPGA core, you get the character and warmth of classic outboard gear with the convenience and stability of onboard processing.
