Compact size. Infinite power. Ideal for bands, rental houses and production installations. The Mackie DL1608 16 Channel Digital Sound Mixer w/Lightning iPad Control provides absolute mobile freedom to wirelessly mix with powerful plugin processing.

Each channel offers a 4-band equaliser, dynamics/limiting, reverb, delays, and a whole array of vintage / modern plugins. Mackie's use of 16 boutique-quality ONYX pre-amps and 24-bit cirrus Logic AD/DA converters provide you with unparalleled sound quality.

Open a world of possibilities when connecting your iPad to the DL608. The connection port offers constant charging support for the iPad, reducing the risk of battery failure during performances. The inclusion of padlock - is also imperative in maintaining your iPad's safety, preventing the risk of theft when you're not nearby.

High quality reproduction

The Mackie DL1608 comes loaded with 16 studio-quality Onyx mic preamps that deliver depth, headroom and immense detail to your live mix. Plus, with 12 XLR and four combo mic/line inputs, connecting mics and instruments is quick and easy. The inclusion of 24bit Cirrus Logic AD/DA converters offer a remarkable 114 db dynamic range. Mackie align their Onyx pre-amps 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 DL1608 comes 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.

Versatile options

The Mackie DL1608 is perfect for installing in venues. With its easy to use Master Fader iPad application it has never been easier to train up new sound engineers. Forget the bulky racks of outboard gear, the powerfully small, low profile design lets you install it just about anywhere. Supporting up to 10 iPad devices simultaneously, the Mackie DL1608 allows multiple engineers to control the mix. Now, the band can dial in the mix they want to hear in real time right on stage. And the DL1608 works great with all versions of the iPad, whether wireless or wired via our ingenious Patent Pending tray design.

The DL1608 is big on security. The PadLock feature locks down your iPad for permanent installs, while the Kensington lock - the industry standard in protecting technological equipment - secures the mixer to guard it from theft.

Easy recall and set up

The Mackie DL1608 allows you to recall mix functions with just the touch of a finger. With Total Snapshot Recall, you can now easily save and access sound check settings for multiple bands, complex song mixes, previous mixes from challenging venues, recall scenes for theatre productions and more. You can even pre-set the mixing board and be ready to go the moment you arrive. The unit also enables you to record your mix from the L/R stereo outputs directly to your iPad, allowing you to upload it to your favourite application and share it with others

Quickly set up a new mix with the DL1608's Channel Presets. With simple touch screen control, you can immediately assign a factory or your own custom channel preset for kick drum, bass, guitar, keyboard and more to any channel you choose. And when you've made the perfect settings, easily save them for later use and share them with your friends.
