Proven at millions of gigs worldwide, the Mackie DL Series combines the power of a full-featured digital mixer with the unmatched ease-of-use of an iPad. And DL-1608 mixers are 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. Sweet!

Onyx Mic Preamps
The Mackie DL-1608 comes loaded with 16 studio-quality Onyx mic preamps that deliver depth, headroom and immense detail to your live mix. Plus, with a choice of XLR or combo mic/line inputs, connecting mics and instruments is quick and easy. Also includes global phantom power for condenser mics.

24 Bit Cirrus Logic AD/DA Converters
The DL-1608 features high-end 24-bit Cirrus Logic AD/DA converters, offering a remarkable 114dB dynamic range. The Onyx preamps are aligned precisely with the converters to provide you with the most headroom and the lowest noise and distortion possible – resulting in brilliant sound quality from a vocal whisper to a wailing guitar solo.

The Inputs
Each and every channel features a choice of powerful plug-ins to dial in the perfect sound for whatever you’ve got plugged in. You can even link adjoining channels for fast control of stereo sources:

MODERN: Highly-flexible, clean modern processing perfect for any application

4-band EQ includes low shelving, low-mid peaking, high-mid peaking and high-shelving
Compressor with all the control needed to reduce or limit transients
Gate perfect for reducing leakage from open mics

VINTAGE: Delivers the sought-after musical characteristics of your favorite industry-standard processors

Vintage EQ with interacting bands and frequency-dependent Q structure for added clarity and sheen
Vintage compressor with non-linear attack/release great for drums
Vintage gate with lightning-fast attack for transient source

Outputs Galore
Each output on a DL Series mixer has its own processing perfect for dialing in an tuning the connected speaker or other device. Easily link aux sends into a combined stereo output, perfect for IEMs. Plus, you can delay the outputs for fill speakers, etc. There are plenty of 1/4″aux outputs available, each perfect for driving a monitor wedge. There’s a pair of main outputs for your system and a decidated headphone output for listening to soloed tracks or getting a close-up view of your mix.

4-band parametric EQ complete with dedicated HPF and LPF filters
31-band GEQ includes the ability to draw in the curve and a 2x zoom control for ultra-precise control
Compressor/limiter great for enhancing low end and protecting your speakers
Up to 350ms alignment delay with variable temperature control

Snapshot Recall
DL mixers allow you to recall mix functions with just the touch of a finger. Easily save and access sound check settings for multiple bands, complex song mixes, and more. Save channel icons including pics of band members. You can even preset the board and be ready to go the moment you arrive!

Global Effects
DL Series mixers each feature a global reverb and delay that can be easily applied to any channel. A wide variety of reverbs and delays are available each with a high-level of control. Nine separate reverbs are available, each with pre delay, damping, decay and rolloff controls. Choose from mono, tape echo, stereo, ping-pong or multi-tap delay each with tap tempo, feedback and damping control

I am in awe with this mixing board. I love the features. 👍

I use it live with my band. I love the quality of the fact that you could recall settings which saves you a lot of time especially going to the same venues. Great sound and more precise control. Loving it!
