Overview
The CDM64 is the largest C Class MixRack: 64 recallable mic/line preamps and 32 XLR line outputs in an 8U frame, running the full dLive engine of 128 input channels and 64 mixes at 96 kHz. It is the same engine as the S Class DM64, so the console experience is identical; the difference is in redundancy and expansion.
As a C Class rack it has one I/O port, a single gigaACE surface port, DX1 and DX3 expander ports, a dedicated ME port and an integrated PSU. That makes it a strong fit for venues and installs that need 64 analogue inputs at the stage without the cost and weight of a DM64.
Highlights
- Full dLive engine: 128 inputs, 64 mixes, 96 kHz
- 64 mic/line inputs, 32 line outputs
- 1 x 128 channel I/O port
- 16 RackExtra FX with stereo returns; RackUltra FX card upgrade available
- 2 DX ports for up to 4 DX expanders
- Dedicated ME port for personal monitoring
- 8U, integrated PSU
Compatibility
Works with all dLive surfaces: C1500, C2500, C3500 and S3000, S5000, S7000, plus IP controllers and dLive Director with no surface at all. A CDM MixRack runs up to 2 surfaces in Multi Surface mode. S Class surfaces connect on gigaACE port A only, as the CDM has a single gigaACE port.
- 1 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, M-DL-AES cards, or M-DL-ADAPT-A for M-DANTE / M-MADI2-A
- DX ports: DX32, DX168, DX164-W, DX012, DX88-P
- ME port: ME-1, ME-500, ME-U personal mixing (40 channels)
- Network: IP1, IP6, IP8, GPIO, CC-7, CC-10

Forefront Tip
If the CDM64 is going into a fixed install, a C2500 or C3500 surface and an M-DL-DANT64-AX for recording covers most rooms. Need a redundant surface link or more than one card? That is the point to look at a DM64 instead.
