It adds 8 RackUltra FX engines to the 16 RackExtra FX every dLive already provides. This dLive RackUltra FX upgrade lets venues, houses of worship and rental fleets bring existing MixRacks up to the current FX specification without replacing the mixer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Allen \u0026amp; Heath AH-M-DL-ULTRAFX-RUFX work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe card combines Allen \u0026amp; Heath's FPGA technology with ARM processing and plugs into the internal expansion slot on the MixRack, not one of the three I\/O ports, so networking cards stay where they are. Once fitted, the MixRack gains 8 additional stereo FX engines that run the RackUltra FX collection. The collection includes Spaces Reverb Designer, Plate Reverb Designer, Vocal Shifter, Vocal Tuner, Vocal Gridder, Dual AutoKey Harmoniser, Quad Voice Harmoniser, MIDI Harmoniser, Amp+Cab Distortion, Saturator and Rhythm Delay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRackUltra FX engines are selected from the dLive FX page like any other rack and can be used as send\/return effects or inserted on channels. Allen \u0026amp; Heath publishes a fitting note for the card, and installation means opening the MixRack, so we recommend it is fitted by a qualified technician during a scheduled service window. For new systems, Allen \u0026amp; Heath also offers MixRacks with the card factory fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the Allen \u0026amp; Heath AH-M-DL-ULTRAFX-RUFX?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8 additional stereo FX engines\u003c\/strong\u003e — extends a dLive from 16 to 24 FX racks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFPGA plus ARM processing\u003c\/strong\u003e — provides the headroom for plug-in class reverbs, pitch and harmony effects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits any dLive MixRack\u003c\/strong\u003e — installs in the internal expansion slot of DM and CDM models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves I\/O ports free\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dante, MADI, Waves and gigaACE cards remain in place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVocal processing suite\u003c\/strong\u003e — Vocal Tuner, Vocal Shifter and Vocal Gridder handle pitch work on stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReverb designers\u003c\/strong\u003e — Spaces and Plate Reverb Designer give detailed control over room and plate sounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarmonisers and character FX\u003c\/strong\u003e — AutoKey, Quad Voice and MIDI Harmonisers plus Amp+Cab Distortion and Saturator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the Allen \u0026amp; Heath AH-M-DL-ULTRAFX-RUFX typically used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;max-width:100%;table-layout:fixed;border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:40%\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:60%\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eProduct\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eRackUltra FX card for dLive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eFX engines added\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e8 stereo RackUltra FX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eProcessing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eFPGA with ARM processing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eAny dLive DM or CDM MixRack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eMounting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eInternal expansion slot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eAlgorithms\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSpaces Reverb Designer, Plate Reverb Designer, Vocal Shifter, Vocal Tuner, Vocal Gridder, Dual AutoKey Harmoniser, Quad Voice Harmoniser, MIDI Harmoniser, Amp+Cab Distortion, Saturator, Rhythm Delay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich dLive MixRacks accept this card?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllen \u0026amp; Heath states it fits any dLive DM or CDM MixRack, including the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/allen-heath-ah-dlive-dm48-dlive-s-class-mixrack-48x24-i-o-128-x-64-fpga-3-option-i-o-me-1-port-dual-dx-expander-link-hot-swap-psu\"\u003edLive DM48\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/allen-heath-ah-dlive-cdm48-dlive-c-class-mixrack-48x23-i-o-128-x-64-fpga-1-option-i-o-me-1-port-dx-expander-link\"\u003edLive CDM48\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it use one of my I\/O ports?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It goes in the internal expansion slot, so cards such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/allen-heath-ah-m-dl-dante64-a-dante-64x64-audio-networking-card-for-dlive-and-avantis-mixers\"\u003eDante 64x64 card\u003c\/a\u003e stay installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this card for Avantis?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Avantis uses a separate RackUltra FX module that must be installed by an Allen \u0026amp; Heath Authorised Service Centre.
