The Mackie DL1608 (Lightning) is a revolutionary mixer. Instead of the traditional physical knobs and faders, this mixer has a dock for your iPad 4, or (in combination with a separately available tray) your iPad Mini. Your tablet then serves as a large, clear control centre for the DL 1608's 16 inputs and 8 outputs. The mixer itself provides the processing power. If you want to dock an iPad 1, 2 or 3, use the Mackie DL1608 30-pin iPad mixer instead.
The DL1608's plugins
This reliable, manageable Mackie mixer offers a surprising range of sound editing options. Using the touch screen of your iPad 4 or iPad Mini, you can not only control the volume and 4-band EQ for each channel, but also the gate, compression, delay and reverb plugins. Each of the DL1608's outputs can be precisely adjusted by means of a 31-band equalizer, a limiter and a compressor. Would you like to mix with your iPad, iPod or iPhone while you're walking around the room? You can - all you have to do is connect an optional router.
Inputs and outputs
The Mackie DL 1608 offers a variety of inputs and outputs. There are 16 microphone channels, all supported by excellent Onyx preamplifiers and Cirrus Logic AD/DA converters, and 4 microphone line channels. High headroom and exceptionally low noise and distortion ensure that both the softest whispers and the loudest guitar leads are reproduced in high quality. To complete the package, the Mackie iPad mixer also features two XLR outputs and 6 AUX sends for your monitors.

Fantastic bit of kit!
Once youve got through the basics, its easy to use and excellent sound reproduction.
Should have got one years ago!!!

Mackie DL1608 (Lightning) iPad mixer
Mooie compacte mixer, zelf 2 jaar gehad, en nog werk er nog mee bij verschillende kerken die hem ook hebben aangeschaft. Echter is het wel van belang een sterke wifi router te hebben, anders werkt dat als een fiasco. Echter hebben enkele modellen waar ik mee gewerkt heb een latere upgrade naar lichting gekregen. de eerste serie adapters hiervan vertoonde een lichte brom/toon op niet nader te bepalen output kanaal, dat veranderde telkens. Maar alleen wanneer ipad in de dock zat. verder wel een aanrader! wel jammer dat er geen usb op zit voor bijv. muziek player.

Mackie DL1608 (Lightning) iPad mixer
Ik ben sinds een paar maanden in het bezit van de mixer DL 1608 en ben dik tevreden.
Ik gebruik hem voor een koor. Erg gebruiksvriendelijk en goede geluids kwalitijd.
Jammer dat er geen media out op zit maar verder een prima compacte mixer.
