Allen and Heath dLive S7000

Description

Allen & Heath dLive S7000 Control Surface
The S7000 is the flagship control surface of the dLive S Class — Allen & Heath’s largest, most powerful surface for the dLive digital mixing system. Purpose-built for professional touring, broadcast, and premium installation, it delivers an uncompromising mix environment with the workflow speed engineers expect from a true digital-native console.
Built for the Biggest Shows
With 36 motorized faders across 6 layers, the S7000 puts up to 216 assignable fader strips at your fingertips — every input, mix, DCA, or matrix exactly where you want it, on any bank, on any layer. Dual 12″ capacitive touchscreens running Allen & Heath’s Harmony UI respond to pinch, swipe, and drag gestures the way a modern interface should, while widget areas keep scenes, meters, RTA, FX, and custom controls in view at all times.
Surrounding the screens, 26 assignable SoftKeys and 3 pages of 6 assignable rotaries per screen give you tactile, one-knob-per-function control over the parameters that matter most. RGB-illuminated rotaries map color to function, so orientation is instant — even under stage lights or full sun.
Connectivity That Keeps Up
The S7000 ships with serious onboard I/O, ready to integrate into any workflow:

8 XLR mic/line inputs with remote-controlled analog gain (1 dB steps), 20 dB pad, and phantom power
8 XLR line outputs
2 AES-3 stereo inputs with SRC and 3 AES-3 stereo outputs with SRC (bypassable)
Word Clock I/O
2 × 128-channel option card slots for Dante, MADI, Waves, Pro Tools | HD, and more
Dual redundant gigaACE link to any dLive MixRack or DM Mainframe
DX expander port for direct connection of DX I/O units
External VGA output for second-screen monitoring
2 USB ports front (one dedicated to stereo record/playback) plus rear USB

Engineered to Endure
Every dLive console is built on a strength-to-weight philosophy more familiar to military hardware than audio gear — and it shows. High-grade side metal, folded steel reinforcement at stress points, dual hot-swappable redundant PSU slots, and dual-redundant audio connections throughout the system mean the S7000 is designed to survive the road and stay running mid-show.
Multi-Surface Ready
Pair the S7000 with any dLive MixRack or DM Mainframe. Run up to 4 surfaces on a single DM MixRack (or 2 on a CDM MixRack) for FOH/monitor splits, parallel mixing, broadcast feeds, or sub-mixing — all from one shared audio engine.
