MACKIE DL16S 16-CHANNEL WIRELESS DIGITAL MIXER
DL16S brings all the powerful DSP, renowned Onyx+ mic preamps, and Built-Like-A-Tank reliability that the DL Series is known for, in an all-new stagebox form factor with built-in WiFi. Mount it in a rack, set it on a desk, or put it right on the stage. Mix your way.
The DL16S wireless digital mixer delivers proven mixing power with legendary Onyx+ mic preamps in an all-new Built-Like-A-Tank™, stage-friendly design made to withstand real-world abuse. Get mixing quickly with built-in Wi-Fi and the industry-leading, multi-platform Master Fader™ app. Create stunning multi-track recordings and get playback for a virtual soundcheck via USB I/O. Loaded with channel/output DSP plus 4 FX processors, DL16S gives you the capability and flexibility you need for your best mix ever.
Master Fader is the main user interface for your DL Series mixer. Rather than knobs, faders and buttons on a large piece of hardware, you get powerful mixing tools on your tablet, Mac, or PC and at up to 20 different devices simultaneously. The intuitive design of the Master Fader app makes managing your mix, large or small, easy and efficient. Organise your channels with view and mute groups, utilise subgroups with full bus processing, control levels of channel groups simply with VCAs, and even lock out devices from specific capabilities within the app. And when you get a mix you like, you can save it all into a snapshot.
From EQ to compression, every bit of signal processing is implemented with the highest quality possible maintaining the fidelity of each source. Every channel and output bus gets it’s own dedicated processing. The 4-band parametric EQ on each channel and output features a dedicated high-pass filter, modern and vintage modes, and built-in RTA for maximum versatility and detailed analysis of each source. The clear UI makes it easy to make adjustments, view settings, and choose presets. Each FX processor features tons of studio-quality reverbs and delays plus effects like chorus, tremolo, flanger, and sweep filter. Fine tune each effect with advanced parameters and EQ.
Complete wireless control via iOS, Android, macOS®, and Windows® devices means you can mix from anywhere in the venue on up to 20 devices. Wireless control also means you can put the mixer itself where it makes the most sense for application.
