dLive Firmware

About the Allen & Heath dLive

dLive is Allen & Heath's flagship system, introduced in 2016 and built on the XCVI FPGA core. It splits into a control surface and an iDR MixRack — the iDR0, iDR10, iDR16, iDR32, iDR48 and iDR64 — connected over a single Cat5e or fibre link, so the audio I/O stays at the stage end. Firmware is released for the system as a whole, and surface and MixRack must run matching versions.

How Allen & Heath ships firmware

Allen & Heath firmware updates ship per family rather than per model, so an SQ-5, SQ-6 and SQ-7 all take the same release. Downgrading is sometimes necessary when a show file was built on an older version, which is why every archived version stays available here.

Verifying what you download

Every Allen & Heath dLive file in this archive lists the SHA-256 checksum recorded the moment we mirrored it, plus a link to the original Allen & Heath source URL. Before loading firmware onto a console, run shasum -a 256 <file> (macOS/Linux) or certutil -hashfile <file> SHA256 (Windows) and compare it to the value in the table above. If they differ, do not load the file. More on how this archive verifies files →
