DL1608

Nearly 25 years ago, Mackie revolutionized the pro audio

world by unleashing the CR1604 16-channel mixer. Today,

Mackie redefines live mixing by combining the power of a

digital mixer with the ease and portability of an iPad. Think

of it as today’s CR1604...but digital and unplugged.

Control the mix from anywhere:

With the Mackie DL1608’s seamless wired to wireless

mixing capabilities, you can mix in real time from anywhere

in the venue on your iPad

1

. The bar, the bathroom, the back

closet. Instantly adjust mix functions from tuning front of

house trouble spots to ringing out stage monitors.

Control the mix from your iPad:

Designed specifically for the iPad, the DL1608’s Master

Fader app brings ground-breaking DAW mixing features

and functionality to the live environment. With this intuitive

breakthrough app, you can create mix snapshots, channel

presets and even record stereo tracks straight to your iPad.

Plus, with “Grow and Glow” giving you visual indication of

the function you’re controlling, you can be confident that

you’re always in control.

Proven hardware that sounds great:

By combining 16 of our flagship Onyx mic preamps with

the performance of 24-bit Cirrus Logic AD/DA converters, the

Mackie DL1608 delivers unparalleled sound quality. Add to

that eight balanced outputs, and you have a mixer that not

only provides incredible dynamic range, fidelity and trans-

parency, but also great versatility and outstanding value.

Tons of built-in processing:

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. We’re looking at you, lead guitarist. Now, the band

can dial in the mix they want to hear in real time right on

stage.

Forward looking design:

The sleek and low profile 16-channel Mackie DL1608

is rooted in design innovation. Its powerfully small format

destroys the industry’s notion that “bigger is better” by

allowing modern technology to eliminate the need for bulky

boards and racks of gear.
