Allen & Heath AH-DLIVE-S5 dLive S Class 28 Fader Surface, Dual 12" touchscreens, 2 option I/O port, Hot Swap PSU, 27 SoftKeys
The Allen & Heath dLive S5000 is a medium-sized control Surface for the dLive MixRack, with the addition of built-in audio I/O and audio networking ports. Designed for professional touring, broadcast and prestige installations, the S5000 features 28 faders & 28 rotaries that are freely assignable in 6 layers on the surface, giving 168 “control strips.” All complimented with dual 12" capacitive touchscreens and the innovative Harmony UI for the fastest workflow in the industry. The S5000 can control any MixRack / Mainframe, and can be connected with a single CAT5e cable or a dual redundant mode Cat5e cable to the Mixrack/Mainframe. Two 128x128 channel option slots are available on the back, plus with the S5000 surface you can choose the control for the end-user through custom layouts and user permissions. Harmony User Interface: Where many digital consoles try to recreate the experience of using an analog mixer, dLive is a true digital native, drawing on Allen & Heath's familiarity with the ubiquitous smartphones and tablets that we all use without thinking. The single or twin 12” capacitive touchscreens on the dLive consoles feel instantly familiar, responding to every pinch, swipe, drag and drop exactly how you’d expect them to. Bespoke ‘widget’ areas can also be set up on the screens to keep track of scenes, meters, FX and other custom controls. The screen is framed by a set of one knob / one function rotary controls, allowing the creativity and immediacy of tactile control over key processing functions, working in harmony with the visual feedback displayed on the screen. The rotary knobs have been prototyped 20+ times to achieve optimal grip and precision control, and feature RGB illumination, with colors mapped to functions for instant visual orientation. Transparent Workflow: As systems become ever more complex and as I/O counts grow exponentially, engineers can find themselves feeling increasingly removed from the action on stage as they are drawn more and more into managing the arsenal of technologies at their disposal. Throughout the dLive design process A&H's guiding aim has been to create fast and transparent workflows that allow the engineer to focus on the mix, not the mixer. The dLive layout is fully customizable, allowing the user to create a mixing interface that matches their own mental map of the show. Every input or mix can be assigned to any and every bank and / or layer, virtual scribble strips allow inputs and mixes to be clearly named and color coded for at-a-glance navigation, and the engineer has no less than 26 assignable SoftKeys at their disposal, plus 3 pages of 6 assignable rotaries per screen.
