Mackie DL806 and DL1608 Reference Guide Chapter 7: Mixer View : Master Fader Introduction LR AUXES The master fader is arguably the most important tool of the mixer. So much so, in fact, that the master fader is always displayed no matter what view is shown. As seen in the image on the left, the master fader has three different views based on what type of output is selected. Please note that there is no way you would ever see the image as shown, as only one output may be selected at any given time. The image is just a point of reference. The output selector has the most important role (and we just showed an image with three different outputs selected), so we'll start there. After that, we will head back to the top of the master fader and work our way down. Output Selector / Output Channels The mixer view shows a fader for each channel. Initially, this fader controls the level to the LR output. But how do you control the level going to the aux sends? Or how about the aux master level? Simple. Use the output selector to switch between outputs. Select from one of the following outputs: LR, A1-A6, reverb and delay [on the DL1608; LR, A1-A4, reverb and delay on the DL806]. The currently selected output is illuminated, but changing the selected output is easy. Simply touch the output selector and it will immediately grow & glow. Move your finger to the desired output and release. Or you could just tap the output you desire and it will change just like that . See the image below for an example of FX changing outputs from LR to aux 4. Notice also how the output selector really "pops" for easy-to-change access. 44

Chapter 7: Mixer View : Master Fader
Introduction
The master fader is arguably the most important tool of the mixer. So much
so, in fact, that the master fader is always displayed no matter what view is
shown. As seen in the image on the left, the master fader has three
different views based on what type of output is selected. Please note that
there is no way you would ever see the image as shown, as only one output
may be selected at any given time. The image is just a point of reference.
The output selector has the most important role (and we just showed an
image with three different outputs selected), so we’ll start there. After that,
we will head back to the top of the master fader and work our way down.
Output Selector / Output Channels
The mixer view shows a fader for each channel. Initially, this fader
controls the level to the LR output. But how do you control the level
going to the aux sends? Or how about the aux master level? Simple.
Use the output selector to switch between outputs.
Select from one of the following outputs: LR, A1-A6, reverb and delay
[on the DL1608; LR, A1-A4, reverb and delay on the DL806].
The currently selected output is illuminated, but changing the
selected output is easy. Simply touch the output selector and it will
immediately grow & glow. Move your finger to the desired output and
release. Or you could just tap the output you desire and it will change
just like that <snaps fingers>. See the image below for an example of
changing outputs from LR to aux 4. Notice also how the output selector
really “pops” for easy-to-change access.
