Detailed Description CTi1500
CTi1500 is a control surface for an Allen & Heath dLive mixing system. It provides 12 motorized faders across six layers, 1 twelve-inch capacitive touchscreen and 19 assignable SoftKeys. Its fully assignable layout places input channels, mixes, FX returns, DCAs or MIDI controls where the engineer needs them.
Harmony UI combines touchscreen gestures with physical controls, dedicated EQ access and configurable screen widgets. Local connections include 6 microphone/line inputs and 6 line outputs, plus AES3 digital audio. gigaACE connects the surface to the MixRack, with DX connectivity for compatible expansion.
The surface offers 1 optional 128-channel I/O slot for compatible digital interfaces, together with network control, wordclock and stereo USB recording/playback. The MixRack supplies the dLive mixing engine: the surface is not a standalone 128-input mixing console. Choose the surface size and local connectivity to suit the control position and the wider system configuration.
