Overview
The DM64 is the flagship dLive MixRack: 64 recallable mic/line preamps, 32 XLR line outputs and the full dLive engine of 128 input channels and 64 mixes at 96 kHz, in a 10U frame. It carries the complete S Class feature set with three 128 channel I/O ports, dual redundant gigaACE, redundant DX expander links and a hot swappable PSU with a slot for a second supply.
It is the natural partner for an S5000 or S7000 on tour, and it supports up to 4 surfaces in Multi Surface mode for FOH, monitors and broadcast from one engine.

Forefront Tip
Plan the three I/O ports before the gig: a common touring layout is M-DL-DANT128-AX for recording and playback, M-DL-GOPT fibreACE for the monitor split and M-DL-WAVES3-A for plug-ins. Fit the second PSU, it is the cheapest insurance on the rig.
