The CS-D5 Live digital mixing system provides the full, extensive feature set of the D5 Live, with the exception of the optical I/O, creating a D5 Live at a price point that’s competitive with more basic consoles.

The CS-D5’s technical advantages include a full 48 busses – ideal for coping with the ever-increasing use of in-ear monitors, 128 input channels, which can be increased with extra DSP to 160.

224 inputs and 224 outputs can be connected to enable large routing capabilities for multi-stage events and large orchestral performances, while digital redundancy ensures the show will go on.

41 touch sensitive faders, four touch screens and multi-operator ability give direct instant access to crucial parameters, despite the compact frame size.

MADI (standard) and Optocore™ (optional) interfacesimprove versatility compared to proprietary systems, and the ability to share stage racks integrates live performance, broadcast, FOH and monitors – and eliminates the need for mic splitters.

Sound quality remains peerless, with the CS-D5’s 40-bit floating point audio processing maintaining far greater dynamic range in a complex mix than other consoles’ fixed point processing.
