Available in either 56 or 112 input versions, the standard 'system' configuration is now supplemented by the enhanced 'EX' effects card and output processing options.

The versatile digital effects card, fitted as standard to all D5 Live 56EX, 112EX and FMX systems, effectively replaces a rack full of external effects processing units with a fully integrated suite of high quality multi effects.

The D5 effects card features its own powerful, dedicated DSP engine which allows you to run up to six digital effects per channel simultaneously without any load being placed on the console's central DSP engine. The effects processor has the capacity to support the simultaneous use of every effect on every channel without loss of performance or audio quality.The first effect offers a range of dedicated reverb algorithms of exceptional quality, subtlety and depth. The next three provide flanging, phasing, double tracking, vocoder and digital delays. Effects five and six provide extra digital dynamics, compression and equalisation for up to 7.1 surround sound outputs.

All routing, patching, effects parameter adjustments and user memory store and recall functions are performed on the touchscreens. All effects and their settings can be stored as part of the console's user presets and sessions, and can be saved on the USB key for instant recall on another D5 Live.
