MackieDLZ Creator Adaptive Digital Mixer for Podcasting and Streaming
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Mackie’s DLZ Creator is a digital mixer built around podcasting and streaming workflows. Easy, Enhanced, and Pro modes change the control approach as you need more hands-on adjustment. AutoMix can manage levels for up to four microphones, which is useful when the conversation has several voices. Record multitrack audio to an SD card or USB flash drive, or connect by USB-C to stream live or record with a computer. Four headphone jacks support monitored sessions with multiple participants.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Interview and roundtable recordings using up to four microphones with automatic level management.
- Podcast sessions needing multitrack recording without relying on a computer.
- Live streams or computer-based podcast recording through the mixer’s USB-C connection.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Productions requiring more than four microphones to be handled by AutoMix.
