MACKIE DFX6 DetailsMixers for hands-on musicans. What does that mean? It means that we've made the Mackie DFX12 and Mackie DFX6 extremely easy to use. For example, if you have a front-of-house sound person to control your effects levels, they can locate a small knob and tweak it. But if you're on stage, it's a lot easier to grab a big, color-coded fader. Plus you can see the fader positions from halfway across the stage. That's the philosophy of the DFX Series: make it easy to control a mixer 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. You get "mixing at a glance." 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. And of course, both digital effects and a graphic equalizer are built in, so you don't have to mess with an extra rack of outboard gear. Above all, superb sound quality . Low noise is the other difference between the DFX Series and any comparably-priced competition. Our mic preamps are quiet. The mixer's main circuitry is quiet. The digital effects and equalizer are quiet. In fact, we'll bet that you won't be able to tell if your DFX mixer is turned on unless you look at the LED indicators. Long, logarithmic taper faders. Accurate 32-bit effects. You get reverb, delay, chorus and thirteen other Even the features have features. Effects to Monitor BR. Rarely do you want the same amount of effects in your main PA mix as you do in your stage monitors. The DFX6 and DFX12 let you control the level of stage monitor effects with a dedicated rotary control. Break Switch CL. You finish a set and get ready to leave the stage. But first you have to mute your mic input channels one-by-one so that some idiot doesn't climb on stage, grab a microphone and start singing " Happy Birthday. " With the DFX Series, you just push the Break Switch. Mic input channels* are automaticall y muted and the CD/Tape input is live, so you can play music during the break. Graphic equalizer assign *. A graphic EQ is twice as handy when you can either assign it to the main mix (to improve that sound of that aging passive PA system) or to your stage monitors (to cut feedback and/or boost audibility). The Vocal Eliminator. Backing tracks for cheap. The DFX12 and DFX6 have a Vocal Eliminator circuit that can remove the existing
lead singer from most songs. We're not saying it totally eliminates the vocal
on every track on every CD. Those circumstances have to do with how the Vocal Eliminator works. Using phase
inversion, it So what's up with the channel inputs? The DFX12 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. This combination gives you maximum versatility: you can run up to four microphones and four stereo instruments?or you could run one microphone and use all the rest of the input for instruments and tone modules. Or combinations inbetween. Those little extras that make a Mackie mixer a better value - now and in the
longrun? Easy level setting. Correctly setting a mixer's input levels before a gig is critical to optimizing headroom and minimizing background noise. We make it easy by putting a yellow level setting LED on each channel strip. Soundcheck the channel, tweak the Trim control until the light flickers and you're set! Sweet, musical EQ. The 12kHz High and 80Hz Low shelving EQ on the DFX Series
are placed at the far ends of the audible musical spectrum (instead of the traditional
100Hz and 10kHz). They're based on the design in our CFX and PPM Series, which
are acclaimed No wall wart! Even our lowest-priced mixers have built-in power supplies. The DFX6 and DFX12 use a universal power cord and internal power supply instead of outlet-eating external power supply modules. Built to last. If you're an in-the-trenches working musician - or just want to sound better when you gig at home, check out the new ultra-affordable DFX6 and DFX12 at your authorized Mackie Designs Dealer today.
