Allen & Heath dLive GPIO Interface – General Purpose Input/Output Control Interface Module (AH-DLIVE-GPIO)

Allen & Heath dLive GPIO Interface (AH-DLIVE-GPIO)

General Purpose Input/Output Control Interface for dLive Systems

The Allen & Heath dLive GPIO (AH-DLIVE-GPIO) is a dedicated general-purpose control interface module designed to integrate dLive mixing systems with external devices and third-party equipment. It provides flexible hardware control options such as contact closures, relay switching, and DC outputs, making it ideal for system automation and external device triggering.

Built for installation, broadcast, and live production environments, the GPIO unit allows engineers to expand the control capabilities of a dLive system beyond audio mixing—enabling seamless interaction with lighting systems, alarms, remote triggers, and venue automation tools.

Key Features

• Provides 8 opto-isolated GPI inputs for external control signals
• Includes 8 relay GPO outputs (normally open, with configurable options)
• Offers 2x +10V DC outputs for powering or triggering external devices
• Network-connected control interface via Cat5 Ethernet (PoE supported)
• Designed for integration with dLive, Avantis, and AHM systems
• Supports flexible programming through dLive Director or system control software
• Compatible with automation tasks such as EVAC systems, lighting control, and broadcast triggers
• Half-rack, 1U rackmount or freestanding operation
• Supports multiple units in a single system for expanded I/O control
• Ideal for theaters, broadcast facilities, houses of worship, and complex installed AV systems

Product Overview

The AH-DLIVE-GPIO is not an audio processor but a control expansion tool that allows the dLive ecosystem to interact with external systems in real time. It is commonly used for automation tasks such as muting audio during fire alarms, triggering on-air lights in broadcast environments, or controlling stage effects and venue systems.
