At the heart of the dLive system is the Allen & Heath dLive AH-DLIVE-CDM48-RUFX MixRack Stage Box, capable of 128×64 channels of pristine sounding 96kHz audio.
The Allen & Heath dLive AH-DLIVE-CDM48-RUFX MixRack Stage Box features the same mix engine – 128 input channels and 64 mix outputs with a configurable 64-bus architecture, class-leading 0.7ms latency and phase-aligned signal paths for maximum flexibility in all applications – but differ in the number of onboard analog I/O, redundancy options and digital I/O card slots.
The acclaimed preamp design, optimized for transparency and clarity, combined with our unique Active PAD circuit for consistent performance regardless of source, delivers the highest quality analogue signal to the MixRack’s XCVI processing core.
In the digital domain, the 96kHz signal path employs variable bit depth throughout for optimal noise performance and precision with virtually infinite dynamic range thanks to the 96-bit accumulator.

About Stage Boxes at Sound Productions
Streamline and expand your live sound setup with stage boxes from Sound Productions. A stage box is a device that interfaces between sound source equipment (such as microphones, instruments, or speakers) and a mixer or mixing console via a cable snake. Stage boxes add more connectivity options right on stage, providing a central location to connect all your sound sources without having to run a cable to a distant input or output.
A stage box is an ideal piece of gear for sound reinforcement, live performances, complex productions, touring professionals, and recording studios. Stage boxes come in a wide range of options, varying in size, style, and functionality depending on your project’s specific needs. Some are designed to be wall- or rack-mountable for permanent installations, while others are portable, including handles for easy transport and repositioning and even rubber bumpers to protect the housing from wear and tear. Additionally, stage boxes come in analog and digital versions to complement your preexisting sound setup.
