Overview
The dLive S7000 is the flagship surface: 36 faders in three bays, twin 12 inch touchscreens and the full S Class redundancy package. With 36 faders you can lay out a full band, FX returns and mix masters on the top layer without banking, which is why it turns up at big festivals, broadcast and large churches.
As with every dLive surface, the processing lives in the MixRack. The S7000 adds dual gigaACE ports, a dual redundant DX port, a hot swappable PSU with a slot for a second supply, 8 in and 8 out of local analogue I/O, AES3 and two I/O ports for option cards.
Highlights
- 36 faders over 6 layers, twin 12 inch touchscreens
- Dual redundant gigaACE link to the MixRack
- Hot swappable PSU, optional second MPS-16 supply
- 8 mic/line in, 8 line out, 2 AES3 in, 3 AES3 out
- 2 x 128 channel I/O ports
- 26 assignable SoftKeys and 6 rotaries
- Dual redundant DX expander port
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.
- Two I/O ports for any mix of: 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
- Legacy 48 kHz iLive/GLD cards (M-DANTE, M-MADI2-A) via M-DL-ADAPT-A
- DX expanders on the local DX port: DX32, DX168, DX164-W, DX012
- Redundant gigaACE (ports A and B) needs a DM MixRack; on a CDM MixRack use port A only

Forefront Tip
An S7000 is happiest on a DM64 with redundant gigaACE and twin PSUs at both ends. Fit an M-DL-WAVES3-A or M-DL-DANT128-AX in one of the surface I/O ports for FOH recording so the MixRack ports stay free for splits and stage networking.
