Integrated USB 2.0 audio interface
One of the Mackie DL16S’s most useful features is multitrack recording and playback. Use the DL16S as an audio interface to record straight to your DAW. Play intermission music, backing tracks, and more. Play back your full multitrack recording for a virtual sound check. You can also use your DAW’s audio plug-ins in a live environment. The DL16S is a value-packed, high-channel-count studio recording solution.
Create polished, professional-sounding mixes
Packed with DSP, the Mackie DL16S gives you 16 input channels with a 4-band parametric EQ, highpass filter, noise gate, and compression, as well as 13 output buses with a 4-band parametric EQ, highpass and lowpass filters, 31-band graphic EQ, compressor/limiter, and alignment delay. On top of that, you also get onboard delay, reverb, and modulation effects. With four stereo FX processors with dedicated sends and returns, full I/O routing with A/B sources per channel, and modern and vintage options for each processor, churning out polished, pro-quality mixes is no problem.
