Allen & Heath AH-FC-DL-DLC25-GOMC dLive C2500 Flight Case with Doghouse

Allen & Heath AH-FC-DL-DLC25-GOMC — dLive C2500 Flight Case with Doghouse

The Allen & Heath AH-FC-DL-DLC25-GOMC is the official manufacturer-designed flight case for the dLive C2500 digital mixing surface, providing road-grade transit protection and integrated cable management for touring productions, live events, and production transport scenarios. The doghouse compartment integrated into the case base accommodates the C2500's power supply connection and primary audio and network cabling, enabling the console to be operated directly from the open case at the mix position. As a GOMC (Official Manufactured Case), the interior geometry and retention system are dimensionally matched to the dLive C2500 production specification, ensuring a precise fit without modification or adapter plates.

Product Description

The dLive C2500 is Allen & Heath's compact touring surface within the dLive range, and the AH-FC-DL-DLC25-GOMC flight case is designed to protect it through the physical demands of repeated load-in, vehicle transport, and load-out cycles typical of touring productions and rental company deployments. The rigid outer shell and custom-formed interior padding protect the C2500's touchscreen displays, motorized faders, and control surface from impact and vibration during road transport and cargo handling operations.

The doghouse compartment is a recessed section beneath the console footprint that organizes the C2500's power supply connection, audio multicore connectors, and network cabling in a managed configuration. This allows the case to function as a self-contained, cabled mixing station — arriving at a venue fully wired, opening for operation, and closing for departure without the time cost of full cable removal and re-routing between shows. For production companies and rental houses managing multiple dLive C2500 systems on rotating schedules, the factory flight case represents a measurable operational efficiency improvement over generic or aftermarket alternatives.

The GOMC designation confirms factory origin, factory tolerances, and the dimensional accuracy required to fully retain the C2500 surface without secondary securing mechanisms or improvised padding. Using the manufacturer's case is particularly important for long-haul touring where freight-handling conditions are most variable and the consequences of console damage are most severe.

Key Features

• Factory Allen & Heath Design (GOMC) — Dimensionally matched to the dLive C2500 production specification for a precise interior fit without adapters, secondary foam modifications, or custom machining.
• Integrated Doghouse Compartment — Recessed cable and power management section beneath the console footprint allows the C2500 to remain cabled within the case between shows, reducing rig time at every venue.
• In-Case Operation — The open case provides full access to all dLive C2500 controls, displays, and rear-panel connections for operation at any mix position without removing the console from the case.
• Road-Grade Transit Protection — Rigid outer shell and custom interior protect the C2500's motorized faders, multi-touch displays, and control surface from transport impact and vibration over extended touring schedules.
• Operational Efficiency for Touring — Keeping the console cabled and organized within the doghouse between venues minimizes setup time and reduces cable wear, contributing to lower long-term maintenance costs.

Typical Applications

• Touring Productions — Provides road-grade protection for the dLive C2500 surface during repeated transport cycles on concert tours, theatrical productions, and corporate event roadshows with frequent venue changes.
• Live Events — Enables the C2500 to serve as a self-contained mix position at festival sites, temporary event venues, and outdoor productions without fixed mixing desk infrastructure.
• Production Transport — Rental companies and production houses use the GOMC flight case to maintain equipment condition between deployments and reduce damage risk during freight handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this case include the dLive C2500 console?

No. The AH-FC-DL-DLC25-GOMC is the flight case only. The dLive C2500 surface is sold separately. Contact Creation Networks if you require combined console and case pricing.

Can the dLive C2500 be operated while inside the case?

Yes. The case is designed for in-case operation. With the lid open, the C2500 is fully accessible and all controls, displays, and rear-panel connections remain reachable. The doghouse section organizes power supply and audio connections beneath the console footprint.

Is this case compatible with the dLive C3500?

No. The AH-FC-DL-DLC25-GOMC is matched to the C2500 surface geometry. The dLive C3500 has its own dedicated case (AH-FC-DL-DLC35-GOMC), and the Avantis console has its own separate case (AH-FC-AVANTIS-GOMC).

What does the doghouse section accommodate?

The doghouse is a recessed compartment below the console that houses the power supply connection and primary audio, network, and control cabling entering the C2500's rear panel. This cable management allows the console to stay wired between shows without unpacking and re-routing at each venue.

Is freight shipping required for this case?

Due to the size and weight of this item, freight shipping is typically required rather than standard parcel carrier service. Contact Creation Networks for a freight quote and estimated lead time before placing your order.

What warranty applies to the AH-FC-DL-DLC25-GOMC?

Allen & Heath accessories and cases purchased through authorized dealers are covered under the standard Allen & Heath limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for current warranty terms at the time of purchase.
