It is the processing core of a dLive system, housing the XCVI FPGA mix engine, 48 mic\/line inputs and 24 line outputs in a 19-inch rack frame. As a dLive MixRack with RackUltra FX, it adds 8 next-generation stereo FX engines to the 16 RackExtra FX that every dLive provides. It suits integrators building a 96kHz digital mixing system for venues, houses of worship and corporate AV spaces where FX quality and stage I\/O both matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Allen \u0026amp; Heath AH-DLIVE-DM48-RUFX work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DM48 holds the entire dLive mix engine: 128 input channels and 64 configurable mix buses running at 96kHz, with 0.7ms latency from MixRack XLR in to XLR out. A dLive control surface, the dLive Director software or an iPad app connects to it over a dual redundant gigaACE link, so the MixRack can sit on stage or in an equipment room while the operator works from front of house. The RackUltra FX card combines Allen \u0026amp; Heath's FPGA technology with ARM processing to run the RackUltra FX collection, which includes Spaces Reverb Designer, Plate Reverb Designer, Vocal Tuner, Vocal Shifter, Vocal Gridder, harmonisers, Amp+Cab Distortion, Saturator and Rhythm Delay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree 128-channel I\/O ports accept optional networking cards such as Dante, MADI, Waves SoundGrid and gigaACE, while two redundant DX links add remote expanders for distributed stage I\/O. A dedicated ME port feeds the ME personal monitoring system, and Automatic Mic Mixing handles up to 64 microphones across 4 zones for spoken-word and conference use. The unit takes a second hot-swappable power supply for redundancy in a permanent install. Because the card is factory fitted, the RackUltra FX engines are available from day one without opening the chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the Allen \u0026amp; Heath AH-DLIVE-DM48-RUFX?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRackUltra FX card fitted\u003c\/strong\u003e — adds 8 RackUltra FX engines with dedicated stereo sends and returns alongside 16 RackExtra FX.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eXCVI FPGA core at 96kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e — runs 128 input channels and 64 mix outputs with full processing on every path.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0.7ms system latency\u003c\/strong\u003e — keeps in-ear monitoring and live vocal mixing natural for performers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e48 mic\/line inputs and 24 line outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e — covers a full band or a large panel event from a single rack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree 128-channel I\/O ports\u003c\/strong\u003e — integrates the mixer with Dante, MADI, Waves or gigaACE audio networks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfigurable 64-bus architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e — groups, auxes, FX sends, matrices and LR, LCR or 5.1 mains can be set to suit the room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic Mic Mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e — manages up to 64 channels in up to 4 zones for meetings and panel discussions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual redundant power option\u003c\/strong\u003e — a second hot-swappable PSU protects mission-critical installs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReversible rack ears\u003c\/strong\u003e — either face of the unit can be presented at the front of the rack or flight case.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the Allen \u0026amp;
