Mackie DL1608 User Manual

DL1608
Nearly 25 years ago, Mackie revolutionized the pro audio
world by unleashing the CR1604 16-channel mixer. Today,
Mackie redefines live mixing by combining the power of a
digital mixer with the ease and portability of an iPad. Think
of it as today's CR1604...but digital and unplugged.
Control the mix from anywhere:
With the Mackie DL1608's seamless wired to wireless
mixing capabilities, you can mix in real time from anywhere
in the venue on your iPad . The bar, the bathroom, the back
1
closet. Instantly adjust mix functions from tuning front of
house trouble spots to ringing out stage monitors.
Control the mix from your iPad:
Designed specifically for the iPad, the DL1608's Master
Fader app brings ground-breaking DAW mixing features
and functionality to the live environment. With this intuitive
breakthrough app, you can create mix snapshots, channel
presets and even record stereo tracks straight to your iPad.
Plus, with "Grow and Glow" giving you visual indication of
the function you're controlling, you can be confident that
you're always in control.
Proven hardware that sounds great:
By combining 16 of our flagship Onyx mic preamps with
the performance of 24-bit Cirrus Logic AD/DA converters, the
Mackie DL1608 delivers unparalleled sound quality. Add to
that eight balanced outputs, and you have a mixer that not
only provides incredible dynamic range, fidelity and trans-
parency, but also great versatility and outstanding value.
Tons of built-in processing:
The DL1608 is loaded with a choice of powerful plug-ins
on every channel, so you won't need to set up additional
racks of outboard gear. With just the touch of a finger, you
have total control over 4-band EQ, compression and gate
plug-ins. Plus, sweeten your sound with a full-featured
reverb and tap delay or adjust your mix to the room with the
31-band graphic EQ and limiter on the main and aux outs.
Multiple iPad support:
Supporting up to 10 iPad devices simultaneously, the
Mackie DL1608 allows multiple engineers to control the mix.
Plus, it gives band members the ability to adjust their own
monitors. We're looking at you, lead guitarist. Now, the band
can dial in the mix they want to hear in real time right on
stage.
Forward looking design:
The sleek and low profile 16-channel Mackie DL1608
is rooted in design innovation. Its powerfully small format
destroys the industry's notion that "bigger is better" by
allowing modern technology to eliminate the need for bulky
boards and racks of gear.
