Overview
The dLive C1500 is the most compact surface in the dLive range: 12 faders across 6 layers, a single 12 inch capacitive touchscreen and the full Harmony interface, in a frame that fits a 19 inch rack with the optional rack kit. It connects to any dLive MixRack over a single gigaACE cable and gives you the same 128 input, 64 mix processing as the biggest S Class desks.
Local I/O on the rear covers talkback, playback and a few FOH sources, and the I/O port takes any dLive option card for Dante, Waves, MADI or a digital split straight from the surface.

Forefront Tip
If the C1500 is going into a fly rack, pair it with a CDM32 or CDM48 MixRack and a Dante card in the MixRack for recording, and keep the surface I/O port free for a Waves or second Dante card later. The C1500 has a single gigaACE port, so redundant surface links need an S Class surface.
