How about a mixer for folks who don't have a house-front sound tech and are on a budget? It's high time a reputable audio processor manufacturer offered just such a product. One that makes it easy to control your mix on stage without a fuss. Distinguish it further with an affordable price tag for newbies or those on a budget and you're on to something.
Renowned high-end manufacturer Mackie has been on to that particular "something" for some time now. It has made real efforts to pack most of the performance of larger mixers into an economical, lightweight and small-footprint unit. The Mackie DFX 6 on-stage mixer is the result, and it is every bit as function-loaded as advertised.
The DFX 6 features 6 input channels with 32-bit EMAC digital effects and an assignable 5-band stereo EQ with bypass. 12 segment stereo LED metering and auxiliary monitor and effects sound add to the impressive capacity of the unit. Colour coded 60mm faders offer "mixing at a glance" on stage. 75hz low cut filters and an input trim control with level set and overload LEDs are standard as well. The top channels are open to either stereo or mono use and are ideal for keyboards and sound modules.
You've got the freedom to combine dynamic and condenser mics as necessary with the Mackie DFX 6's +48 Phantom Power capacity. There'll never be need to commit a channel to a CD players as this mixer also features RCA tape-in jacks. The RCA jack includes its own dedicated level control for external playback devices. The true gem of the DFX 6 mixer is its ingenious break switch. It mutes all the mic inputs while still allowing whatever is connected to the tape inputs to be heard. It's a real piece of mind when away from the mic during a set or offstage on a break.
Without high-headroom low noise mic preamps this mixer wouldn't be able to hang with the bigger boys. Each preamp channel on the DFX 6 is of the same quality circuitry standards found on ALL Mackie mixers. The "warming" that they provide for mics is universally appealing and you are certain to make use of the technology.
Last but not least, all DFX series mixers are max durable with a solid-steel chassis and reinforced corners. A revolutionary shock-absorbing design means impact energy is transferred into the chassis. It will not damage the potentiometers or circuit board. The Mackie DFX 6 will be a workhorse for the working musician for many years.
