Overview
The dLive C3500 is the largest C Class surface: 24 faders and twin 12 inch touchscreens, so you can keep the channel processing on one screen and meters, FX or the mix overview on the other. Like every dLive surface it is a control and local I/O point, with the mix engine in the MixRack connected over one gigaACE cable.
It gives a lot of the S5000 workflow in a smaller, lighter frame, which makes it a common pick for monitor world and for venues where the desk has to fit a tight FOH riser.
Highlights
- 24 faders, 144 strips over 6 layers
- Twin 12 inch capacitive touchscreens
- 6 mic/line in, 6 line out and stereo AES3 in/out
- 1 x 128 channel I/O port for option cards
- Single Cat5e gigaACE link up to 100 m
- VGA screen out for an external monitor
- Front USB for stereo record/playback and show files
Compatibility
Works with every dLive MixRack: CDM32, CDM48, CDM64 (C Class) and DM0, DM32, DM48, DM64 (S Class), including the current U versions with RackUltra FX fitted. One Cat5e gigaACE cable carries 96 kHz audio and control up to 100 metres. Multi Surface mode runs up to 4 surfaces on a DM MixRack or 2 on a CDM MixRack.
- Option cards for the surface I/O port: M-DL-DANT64-AX, M-DL-DANT128-AX, M-DL-WAVES3-A, M-DL-SMADI-A, M-DL-GOPT, M-DL-GACE-A, M-DL-DXLINK and the four M-DL-AES cards
- Legacy 48 kHz iLive/GLD cards (M-DANTE, M-MADI2-A) via the M-DL-ADAPT-A adaptor
- DX expanders on the local DX port: DX32, DX168, DX164-W, DX012

Forefront Tip
For a FOH and monitor split on two C3500s, run each from its own MixRack and link them with a pair of M-DL-GACE-A gigaACE cards, or M-DL-GOPT fibreACE cards for runs over 100 metres. Gain tracking keeps the two engineers out of each other's way.
