The Mackie AXIS-INSTALL Package is a comprehensive, networked audio system solution designed for permanent installed sound applications in demanding environments such as houses of worship, performing arts centers, conference facilities, and broadcast studios. This integrated package combines three core components: the DC16 Digital Mixing Console as the primary user control surface, the DL32R Digital Mixer/Rackmount Stagebox as the audio engine and I/O hub, and the DL Series Dante Expansion Card to enable high-channel-count digital audio networking. Together, they form a sophisticated, split-architecture system where the processing and inputs/outputs are housed in a remote rack, connected via a single Ethernet cable to a compact control surface at the front of house, eliminating the need for long, bulky analog snake cables and centralizing control.

The DL32R serves as the system's powerhouse, providing 32 remotely controllable microphone preamps, 16 analog outputs, and extensive digital I/O in a 3U rackmount unit. It handles all mixing, processing, and routing internally, transmitting control data and receiving commands from the DC16 surface. The DC16 is a dedicated 16-fader control console offering tactile, hands-on control over the DL32R's mixing capabilities, with motorized faders, color TFT displays per channel, and intuitive navigation, providing a traditional mixing workflow with modern digital convenience. The inclusion of the Dante expansion card is critical for system scalability, as it integrates the system into a Dante audio-over-IP network. This allows for bidirectional transmission of up to 64 channels of audio, enabling seamless integration with other Dante-equipped devices like recorders, playback systems, and additional I/O boxes throughout a venue.

This package is engineered for reliability and streamlined operation in installed settings. The system can be controlled via multiple methods, including the physical DC16, iPad or computer software, and even redundant control surfaces for mission-critical applications. All components are designed to work together out of the box, with pre-configured integration that reduces installation and setup complexity. By leveraging the DL32R's processing power, the DC16's intuitive interface, and Dante's networking flexibility, the AXIS-INSTALL Package delivers a professional, scalable, and future-proof digital audio mixing solution that meets the complex needs of modern fixed installations, offering both exceptional audio quality and unparalleled operational flexibility.
