High-quality sound engineering
The Mackie DL16S stands out with its 16 Onyx+ recallable mic preamps, renowned for their clarity and dynamic range. Each preamp is designed to handle everything from delicate vocals to powerful instruments, providing up to 60dB of clean gain. This ensures that all inputs are captured with the highest fidelity, enhancing the overall mix quality whether you're in a live setting or a studio environment.
Complete wireless control
Flexibility in mixing is crucial for modern sound engineering. The DL16S excels in this area with built-in Wi-Fi, eliminating the need for external routers. You can control the mixer wirelessly using the Master Fader app—a comprehensive mixing interface available on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. This app allows up to 20 devices to control the mixer simultaneously, enabling multiple engineers to work from different parts of the venue, providing unparalleled control and collaboration opportunities.
Advanced processing and effects
Each channel on the DL16S is equipped with detailed processing options, including a 4-band parametric EQ, high-pass filter, gate, and compression. The built-in real-time analyser helps in making precise adjustments. Additionally, the mixer includes four stereo FX processors loaded with effects such as reverbs, delays, chorus, and more, offering extensive creative potential to enhance and refine your sound.
Seamless recording and integration
The DL16S doubles as a powerful 16x16 USB audio interface, making it an excellent tool for recording live shows directly to your computer. This feature is also perfect for playing back intermission music or backing tracks. With the ability to perform a virtual soundcheck, you can replay previous recordings through the mixer, allowing you to prepare and tweak settings before live performances without the band present.
Durable and portable design
True to Mackie's "Built-Like-A-Tank" reputation, the DL16S is designed to withstand the rigors of touring and live performance. The stagebox form factor is not only compact but also highly durable, with the versatility to be mounted in a rack, placed on a desk, or situated directly on stage.
Comprehensive software included
The DL16S includes the Waveform OEM DAW and DAW Essentials Bundle, providing a suite of 16 professional plug-ins. This software enhances your capability to produce polished, compelling recordings, offering tools such as EQs, compressors, and advanced reverbs.
