MackieDL16SE 16-Channel Digital Rack Mixer
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for a rack-based live setup, the DL16SE puts 16 recallable Onyx+ preamps, onboard processing, and computer recording in one compact mixer. Its handle and included 3U rack mounting support make moving between venues and installing it in a rack straightforward. Mix from a phone, tablet, or computer with Master Fader SE, then save layouts and settings for faster return setups. USB handles 16-channel recording and playback, including virtual soundcheck work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rack-based performance rigs needing remote mix control and 16 channels of USB recording.
- Shows that need six AUX sends, subgroups, VCAs, and mute groups for organized control.
- Connecting microphones, line-level sources, plus direct electric guitar or bass signals on two Hi-Z inputs.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Setups requiring more than 16 mono mic/line channels or more than six AUX sends.
- Racks without 3U of available space.
