FAQ

Q: Does the S3000 include a MixRack?
A: No. The S3000 is a control surface that requires a compatible dLive MixRack (such as the CDM32, CDM64, or S Class) to process audio. Both units connect over Ethernet.

Q: Can the S3000 be used without a MixRack?
A: Yes — the S3000 can function as part of a surfaceless dLive setup when the MixRack is controlled via a laptop running dLive Director software, but the Surface itself requires a MixRack to process audio signals.
