16 ONYX PREAMPS

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.

24Bit CIRRUS LOGIC® AD/DA CONVERTERS

The Mackie DL1608’s high-end 24bit Cirrus Logic AD/DA converters offer a remarkable 114 db dynamic range. We align our 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.

TONS OF BUILT-IN PROCESSING (DSP)

The DL1608 is 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.

MULTIPLE IPAD SUPPORT

Supporting up to 10 iPad devices simultaneously, the Mackie DL1608 allows multiple engineers to control the mix. Plus, it gives band members the ability to adjust their own monitors. 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.

TOTAL SNAPSHOT RECALL

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 theater productions and more. You can even pre-set the mixing board and be ready to go the moment you arrive.
*Mic pre-amp gains are not recallable.

CHANNEL PRESETS

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.

RECORD FOR EASY SHARING

INTEGRATE MUSIC FROM ANY APP

Whether you want to play pre-show music or add a backing track to your live mix, with the Mackie DL1608 you can bring in stereo audio from any iPad application. Best of all, with the pre-assigned iPad channel, you can do it without using up one of the mixers 16 channels.*
*iPad must be docked and the app must support background audio playback.

CHANNEL IMAGES

The DL1608 lets you take a picture of band members with your iPad or choose your own picture to help you easily identify your assigned channels. There’s a choice of included icons to get you up and running.

INSTALL FRIENDLY FEATURES
