Allen & Heath AH-FC-DL-DLC15-GOMC – dLive C1500 Flight Case, No Doghouse

Product Overview

The Allen & Heath AH-FC-DL-DLC15-GOMC is a purpose-built flight case for the dLive C1500 surface, designed for touring productions and live event professionals who need reliable equipment transport. Constructed from 9mm hexaboard with custom foam inserts shaped to the C1500's exact profile, the case allows you to lift the lid and operate without removing the console. For touring engineers and production companies seeking a dLive C1500 flight case for live touring, this is the factory-approved solution for safe transport between venues. Its no-doghouse configuration keeps the case profile lean and manageable, making it a practical choice for Allen & Heath dLive console transport case deployments.

Product Description

The AH-FC-DL-DLC15-GOMC flight case is engineered specifically around the dLive C1500 control surface geometry. The 9mm hexaboard shell provides a solid outer structure with sufficient rigidity to protect the console during road transport and repeated load-ins. Interior foam is cut to the C1500's exact shape, preventing movement and cushioning against vibration and impact.

The no-doghouse design means the case ships without a rear cable management compartment, which reduces overall footprint and weight — useful when rack space or cargo volume is at a premium. The lid lifts completely clear so the C1500 surface remains in the case during operation, eliminating the need to transfer the console to a separate work surface at each show. This dLive C1500 protective transport case is the direct Allen & Heath accessory, ensuring correct fitment without modification.

For production companies that deploy dLive C1500 systems on touring circuits, broadcast locations, or festival stages, having a manufacturer-designed case means consistent fitment across the entire dLive C1500 fleet. The case is compatible with standard touring flight case stacking and is built to the same standards Allen & Heath applies to all dLive ancillary products.
