"Try adding an entirely new EQ or dynamics section to your average mixer," commented Ben Olswang, Mackie product manager. "You're going to need more than a screwdriver. With a Mackie DL series mixer, it's as easy as updating the app from your iPad. "
Master Fader v1.4 features an entirely new selection of vintage processing. After extensive analysis, development and testing, the new vintage EQ, compressor and gate deliver the sought-after musical characteristics of your favourite industry-standard processors, says the company. The vintage compressor and gate provide a lightning-fast attack, non-linear attack/release and program dependent release making them great for drums and other transient sources.
In addition, a huge update to the show management and overall snapshot operation makes DL mixers even better for users with complex shows and multiple wireless devices. With DL series mixers the users can snap a photo of the band with their iPad camera or choose from a selection of handy icons and use this as channel ID. With v1.4 these images are now synched between all wireless devices connected to the mixer.
