The popular Mackie DL806 is now the lowest-priced
professional digital mixer on the market. Proven at millions of live
shows worldwide, DL Series mixers have an
incredible reputation of intuitive, powerful performance. Combining
the power of a full-featured digital mixer mixer with the unmatched
ease-of-use of an iPad, the DL806 is ready for nearly any
application.
Perfect for an open mic night at the corner café,
singer/songwriter performances or a corporate meeting, the 8-channel DL806 delivers a rich, digital feature
set that is way more powerful than an analog mixer. Completely controlled
using one or more iPad devices, the Mackie Master Fader™ control
app provides intuitive control over tons of powerful processing and mixing
tools that only a digital mixer can provide.
“Just because your application
has a lower channel count, it shouldn’t mean you are stuck with an analog mixer
with limited capabilities,” commented Ben Olswang, Mackie product
manager. “From wireless mixing to tons
of powerful processing, the DL806 delivers much more than you expect for the
low price. It’s something only Mackie can do.”
The DL806 is loaded with features that are
designed for ease-of-use and versatility. Control the DL806 from an iPad, iPhone® or
iPod touch® so the I/O can be placed wherever is most convenient and the
performer or engineer can make adjustments anywhere from right on the stage to
racked away, out of site, at a corporate auditorium.
With tons of powerful DSP built in, the DL806 is packed with professional and
easy-to-use features that will
elevate the sound quality no matter what the application. Get instant
access to compressors, FX for vocals, and graphic equalizers right through your
iPad. All eight input channels feature a 4-band EQ, gate and compression.
A lush suite of reverbs and delays are included and each output features both a
4-band PEQ and 31-band graphic EQ, limiting to protect connected loudspeakers
and alignment delay perfect for syncing multiple speakers throughout a larger
venue. Adding these types of features to a traditional analog mixer system
would cost hundreds of dollars.
“Mackie has a strong history
of bringing incredible features down to amazing price points. With the new
attainable price of the DL806, every basement rehearsal space, corner coffee
shop and open mic night can benefit from the power of digital mixing,”
concluded Olswang.
Another advantage you’ll want from digital mixing is
recall. Get up and running right away with a great-sounding library of presets
that cover virtually any application. Easily use snapshots to configure
the entire mixer for a variety of uses with just the touch of a button.
Customize your DL806 to show
only the controls you need for the task using a combination of view groups and
access limiting. This is perfect for situations where the user might not have a
lot of mixing experience. Small bars can place an iPad with the bartender
for simple music level adjustment as ambient noise levels change throughout the
night. For corporate applications, clearly labeled channels for a single mic
and video playback volume offer simplicity and safety for novice users.
