Mackie Mixers

Mackie DFX Series Mixers

The Mackie DFX mixers are extremely easy to use especially when you're busy on stage. Channel faders are white. Effects and Monitor Sends are red, master levels faders are blue. The Tape/CD level fader is also white but separated from the channel faders. Every channel has both a Level Set and Overload LED so you can tell at a glance on a dark stage if one of your inputs is too hot.

They include both digital effects and a graphic equalizer so you don't have to mess with an extra effects rack.

Instead of little stubby faders, the DFX series have generious 60mm faders. And their log-taper design means that the sound doesn't drop to zero abruptly as you lower the volume - you have full level control over the complete length of fader travel.

Effects include reverb, delay, chorus and thirteen other EMAC™ effects with ultra-realism that not only sounds better than other effects mixers but also rivals outboard processors costing more than either of these mixers.

The DFX•6 is pretty straight-forward: you can plug microphones or mono line level sources such as guitars or bass into channels 1 and 2. And you can plug mono or stereo line level sources (keyboards, tone modules, etc.) into Channels 3/4, and 5/6. Mics can also be plugged into Channels 3 and 5.

The DFX•12 actually includes three flavors of channel strips. Channels 1 through 4 accept microphones or mono line level sources, just like Channels 1 and 2 on its little brother. Channels 5/6 and 7/8 accept microphones or stereo line level sources. Channels 9/10 and 11/12 accept stereo line level sources.

Both the DFX•6 and DFX•12 use a universal power cord and internal power supply instead of external power supply modules.
