The Mackie DL1608 combines the power of a full-featured digital mixer with the ease and mobility of an iPad – using both hardware mixer controls and an iPad dock.
The desk is aimed at the live sound market, with ‘boutique-quality’ Onyx preamps and 24-bit Cirrus Logic AD/DA converters. It offers 16 inputs, eight subgroups and an LR stereo output. It has six aux sends, and supports preset and snapshot automation.
The DL1608 is loaded with a choice of plug-ins on each channel, including four-band EQ, compression and gate plug-ins, plus a full-featured reverb and tap delay and 31-band graphic EQ and limiter on the main and aux outs.
The DL1608 supports up to ten iPad devices, allowing multiple engineers to control the mix. In addition, it can be used to give band members the ability to adjust their own monitor mix.
