The Mackie DL32R is a rackmountable, stage-box format digital mixer that provides 32 channels of premium Onyx mic preamps and comprehensive digital mixing, controlled wirelessly via an Apple iPad. This mixer is designed as the centerpiece of professional live sound systems for touring bands, worship facilities, and demanding installed venues, offering studio-quality sound in a robust, portable chassis. It features 32 XLR/TRS combo inputs with high-headroom Onyx preamps and 24-bit/48 kHz conversion, along with 8 XLR outputs and 4 aux outputs for flexible system routing. All mixing, processing, and routing are performed through the free Master Fader app on an iPad (not included), which connects via a dedicated, secure Wi-Fi network created by the mixer, giving the engineer complete wireless control from anywhere in the venue.

The mixer's powerful digital engine includes full processing on every input channel: 4-band parametric EQ, compressor/gate, and delay. It offers extensive busing with a stereo main mix, 6 aux sends, 4 DCAs, and a dedicated mono output. High-quality multi-effects with multiple reverb and delay engines are built-in. A standout feature is the integrated 32x18 USB 2.0 audio interface, which allows for simultaneous 32-track recording and 18-track playback, enabling virtual soundcheck and seamless recording of live performances. The DL32R is built into a rugged steel rackmount chassis with dual power supplies for redundancy, ensuring reliability for mission-critical applications.

The Mackie DL32R represents a complete, scalable digital mixing solution that consolidates the functions of a mixer, stage box, and multi-track recorder into one unit. By placing the mixer at the stage for minimal cable runs and using an iPad for wireless control, it streamlines setup and provides the engineer with unparalleled mobility and mixing perspective. It is engineered for professionals who require a high channel count, exceptional sound quality, and robust features in a reliable, tour-ready package.
