Allen & Heath dLive C3500: Ready for Fall Services

Fall service season brings the busiest stretch of the worship calendar, and your console shouldn't be the thing you're worried about. The Allen & Heath dLive C3500 gives your worship team 24 faders across 6 layers, dual 12 inch touchscreens, and the Harmony UI that makes scene recall and week to week consistency simple, even for a volunteer tech team. Built on the dLive MixRack's XCVI processing engine, the C3500 delivers studio grade 96kHz audio so every message, song, and moment comes through clean, whether it's a packed sanctuary or a livestream. As fall services ramp up, SoundPro's House of Worship team is ready to help you get set up right.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between the dLive C3500 and other dLive control surfaces?

    The C3500 is the largest C Class control surface for the dLive MixRack, with 24 faders over 6 layers and dual 12 inch capacitive touchscreens, compared to the smaller C2500's 20 faders and single touchscreen. If you need more physical faders and a bigger workspace for a large service or touring rig, the C3500 is the stronger fit.

  • How does the dLive C3500 handle I/O for a fixed install or integration project?

    The C3500 connects to the MixRack over GigaACE and includes a DX Link port for I/O expansion, 6 XLR mic/line inputs, 6 XLR line outputs, 2 network ports, wordclock BNC I/O, and an optional 128 channel digital interface module supporting Dante, Waves SoundGrid, and MADI, giving integrators real flexibility when designing a system around it.

  • Is the dLive C3500 a good digital mixing console for a growing church?

    Yes. The C3500 runs on Allen & Heath's XCVI processing engine at up to 96kHz with under 0.7ms of latency, and the Harmony UI lets you build up to 144 virtual fader strips, so the console can scale with your service as your worship team and inputs grow.

  • Is the dLive C3500 practical for a school or educational AV program?

    The customizable layout and widget areas let you set the surface up for the experience level of whoever's operating it, which makes it workable for an educational program where different students or staff may be running the board. Custom presets also mean a program can standardize on one setup instead of retraining for every event.

  • Can our volunteer tech team actually run the dLive C3500 during Sunday services?

    That's exactly what it's built for. The dual touchscreens use familiar pinch, swipe, and drag and drop gestures like a smartphone or tablet, and scene recall means your volunteer team can save a mix once and reliably reload it every week, which keeps fall services consistent no matter who's behind the board.

  • What's actually inside the dLive C3500 signal path?

    The C3500 surface pairs with the dLive MixRack's XCVI core to deliver up to 300x300 channels of audio at 96kHz over GigaACE. Onboard you get 19 assignable SoftKeys, 6 assignable rotary controls, 2 channel AES3 I/O via XLR, front panel USB for record and playback, and both 1/4 inch and 3.5mm headphone outputs, all routed through a fully customizable, layer based fader architecture.
