Allen & Heath dLive DM48 MixRack 48-input Digital Stage Box - Price on Request

The Powerhouse Behind Every World-Class Performance

The Allen & Heath dLive DM48 is the brain of the dLive mixing system. This rugged rack unit houses the audio engine and I/O, delivering flexible processing for large-scale productions. Whether managing monitor mixes or front-of-house rigs, it provides the headroom and stability demanding environments require.

Unrivaled Processing with XCVI FPGA Power
At the heart of the DM48 lies the XCVI Core, a revolutionary 160x64 FPGA mix engine delivering 25 billion operations per second. It manages 128 input channels and 64 mix buses at 96kHz with a 96-bit accumulator for virtually infinite headroom. Ultra-low latency of just 0.7ms ensures every nuance is captured with absolute transparency.

Studio-Grade Character via DEEP Technology
The DM48 embeds dLive's DEEP processing directly into channels, letting you insert high-end emulations of classic compressors, EQs, and preamps without latency. Keep processing in-box for boutique warmth and a clean, phase-coherent signal path.

Tour-Ready Resilience and Massive Expansion
Dual redundant, hot-swappable power supplies keep your show running. Three 128-channel I/O ports support Dante, Waves, MADI, and ACE expansion. Scale from standalone rack to 848x848 multi-surface network—future-proof connectivity for any production.
