Allenheath Ah-dlive-cti15dlive C Class Cti1500 Lightwei

Allen & Heath AH-DLIVE-CTI15 dLive C Class CTi1500 lightweight Titanium 12 fader Surface, 12" touchscreen, 1 option I/O port

The dLive CTi1500 control surface raises the bar for lightweight control surfaces by combining our best-selling compact dLive C1500 control surface with Superleggera Italian performance vehicle concepts. The CTi1500 has been meticulously built to remove as little weight as possible while maintaining tour-grade structural integrity and a superior user experience.

Compact Touring. Re-engineered.

Since its introduction, the C1500 has established itself as a top choice for compact touring, especially for fly dates, bus tours, and support slots - in other words, any situation where size, weight, and audio needs must be carefully matched. CTi1500 furthers this no-compromise compact concept. Our engineering team started a year-long project to develop the ultimate super-lightweight control surface with the goal of making a surface that would be under 23Kg/50lbs including a flight case. Outside, titanium panels—which are ultra-lightweight, solid, and a first in touring mixer design—have taken the place of the side trims. The base and rear panels have been cleverly redesigned to reduce weight while maintaining strength. Internally the weight loss continues, with new alloy metalwork throughout. Crucially, the front panel remains largely the same as a C1500, providing the familiar dLive feel, but redesigned to replace the armrest with sleek steel curves. Every change was carefully considered and rigorously tested to meet the high standards required of any Allen & Heath touring product.

Power. Packed

Despite being the lightest full control surface in the dLive lineup, the CTi1500 keeps every knob, button, and feature of its stablemate, the C1500. This means that a 12′′ capacitive touchscreen, the cutting-edge Harmony UI, built-in audio I/O, an audio networking port, and 12 faders (each with 6 layers) are all crammed onto a device with a compact footprint. There are plenty of rotary controls, as well as 19 assignable softkeys, so tactile controls are also plenty.

Ready for takeoff

The CTi1500 can fly under 23kg/50lbs in a customized flight case when loaded with the I/O card of your choice and securely wrapped in its dust cover (yeah, we weighed that too... ). You'll need a flight case that weighs less than 10 kg (22 lbs). If you're having trouble finding a supplier, contact us at support.allen-heath.com and we can help.
