The Mackie DL32S is a comprehensive wireless digital mixing system that integrates a 32-channel digital mixer, a 32-input/8-output digital stagebox, and wireless control via multiple iOS devices into a single, streamlined solution for live sound reinforcement. The core processing engine and I/O are housed in a rugged, rack-mountable unit that contains 32 remotely controllable microphone preamplifiers with analog outputs for local amplification. This stagebox connects via a single Cat5e/6 Ethernet cable to a network, where it is controlled wirelessly by engineers using iPads running Mackie's Master Fader application. This design eliminates the traditional front-of-house mixing console and analog snake, dramatically reducing setup time, cable clutter, and centralizing control in a flexible, mobile interface accessible from anywhere within the wireless network's range.

The system's power lies in its sophisticated software control and processing. The Master Fader app provides a complete, customizable mixing surface on the iPad, offering access to all 32 channels, each equipped with 4-band parametric EQ, high-pass filtering, compression, and gates. The mixer includes a powerful effects engine with multiple stereo effects processors. A key feature is multi-user control: several iPads (and even Android devices with a separate app) can connect simultaneously, allowing one engineer to manage the main mix from front of house while another adjusts monitor mixes from the stage, all in real-time without conflict. The DL32S also functions as a 32x8 USB audio interface for multi-track recording and playback directly to a computer, bridging live mixing and studio workflows.

Built for the demands of touring and installed sound, the DL32S features robust construction, redundant power supply options, and comprehensive connectivity including Ethernet for audio networking (Dante optional) and expansion. Once configured, the system can operate stably even if the wireless network is disconnected, as all processing runs internally in the rack unit. By combining high-channel-count I/O, professional-grade DSP, and the intuitive flexibility of tablet-based control, the Mackie DL32S delivers a powerful, scalable, and remarkably portable digital mixing solution for bands, venues, houses of worship, and sound rental companies seeking to modernize their audio infrastructure with a wireless, snake-free approach.
