Allen & Heath dLive S5000 Control Surface for MixRack Reviews
Harnessing the full potential of digital mixing, the Allen & Heath dLive S5000 control surface rejects the typical faux-analog console experience in favor of intuitive pinch, swipe, drag, and drop gestures. Dual 12" touchscreens, 28 faders, and six assignable one-knob/one-function rotary controls provide you with at-a-glance visual feedback and immediate tactile command over your mix. Using the S5000 is a piece of cake, thanks to easily assignable inputs, clearly named virtual scribble strips, and customizable SoftKeys. Built from high-grade metal and packed with dual redundant, hot-swappable power supply capability, the Allen & Heath dLive S5000 control surface performs reliably under the most demanding of circumstances.

Outstanding digital Surface
Allen and Heath has done an outstanding job designing the dLive series. We recently reviewed and purchased the s5000 with the DM48 and DX32 for our 815 seat Performing Arts Center. Our center is attached to our High School, but also operates independently with several outside shows per year coming in. Coming off a Yamaha M7 (and personally having experience using a Behring X32 every Sunday), it took very little time for us and the students to transition over. The layout of the encoders and the dual screens makes almost everything available with one or two "clicks". The sound difference was immediately noticeable over the M7. Their Director software is just as intuitive and makes for preparing for a show simple.The virtual FX rack that is built in is great for our venue and will allows us to not have to rent as much equipment with outside shows. Highly recommend taking the time to review this dLive series, you won't be disappointed.
