Allen & Heath dLive C3500 – Digital Control Surface

The Allen & Heath dLive C3500 is a compact, portable control surface designed to put the full power of digital mixing at your fingertips. Featuring dual 12" touchscreens, 24 faders, and six assignable rotary controls, it provides both visual clarity and tactile precision, making complex mixes intuitive and easy to manage. Virtual scribble strips, customizable SoftKeys, and assignable inputs give you complete control over every aspect of your mix.

Intuitive Touchscreen Interface
The C3500’s Harmony user interface lets you pinch, swipe, and drag to adjust levels and effects just like a tablet or smartphone. A dedicated multi-mode EQ view simplifies sound shaping, while configurable widget areas provide quick access to scenes, meters, effects, and more. Assignable SoftKeys and one-knob/one-function rotary controls ensure essential functions are always within reach.

Clear Workflow and Custom Layout
Every input and mix can be assigned to banks and layers, with virtual scribble strips offering clear, color-coded labeling. The interface remains readable even in bright outdoor settings, giving at-a-glance visual feedback for effortless operation. The layout is fully customizable to match your preferred workflow, reducing menu diving and keeping your focus on the mix.
