Stockholm's Cirkus Theater installs Allen's first dLive console & Heath

Those responsible have chosen this digital mixing system for the complex's new building, el teatro Skandia The stage, due to its high bus capacity, its multiple networking options and powerful sampling rate 96 kHz.

Originally established in the 19th century as a traditional circus, Today the Cirkus Arena is one of the key venues in Stockholm's entertainment world.. A place where concerts are held, conferences, recordings of TV programs and musical shows, including those that come from Broadway.

The complex has recently been expanded with a new building, el teatro Skandia The stage, which has been equipped with sound equipment that integrates the dLive system of Allen & Heath, whose brand sells in Spain Lexon Distribution. Those responsible chose this solution mainly because of its high bus capacity., its multiple networking options and its sampling rate of 96 kHz.

“dLive offers many possibilities and an operational capacity that is ideal for use in a busy theater. Stands out for its 64 buses, the processing to 96 kHz and 5 slots to accommodate network cards, which makes it very powerful. Now that we've really started using dLive, I think it sounds absolutely fabulous., the sample rate is phenomenal, and the two screens on the surface provide an overview of everything that is happening”, explica Anders Nyberg, sound engineer at Cirkus.

dLive is an advanced digital mixing system based on an ultra-flexible architecture, a powerful FPGA processing core that offers a wide variety of expansion options, network control and connectivity, plus the intuitive Harmony user interface, which includes gesture control. An ideal solution for use on tours and installations.

The 96k/96bit XCVI Core processing core has the capacity to 128 inputs with full processing and 16 stereo processing returns, with a total of 160 inputs for mixing and an architecture of 64 user-configurable mix buses.

dLive incorporates the DEEP processing package, with graphic EQs, compressors, multiband compressors and dynamic EQ, along with the 16 virtual processing racks, including Allen effects emulations & Heath.

Following the concept already used previously in other of its digital mixing systems, dLive has an architecture where the mixing rack (MixRack) and control surface are separated. The dLive system processing is housed in the MixRack, available in three formats (DM32, DM48 y DM64) and three control surfaces. All MixRacks and surfaces are compatible (They work together as soon as you connect them), with common configuration and show file compatibility.
