The Mackie DL32S is a professional-grade digital live sound mixer that combines extensive input capability with advanced wireless control for modern audio production environments. Its core is a 32-channel digital mixing engine, featuring 28 programmable microphone preamplifiers with high-quality converters, all housed in a compact rack-mountable chassis designed for stage or front-of-house placement. The system’s standout feature is its integrated dual-band WiFi router and sophisticated wireless mixing ecosystem, which allows multiple mix engineers and performers to control the system simultaneously from iPads, iPhones, or Android devices using the dedicated Master Fader app. This design eliminates the traditional analog snake, as the mixer connects directly to stageboxes or powered speakers via its built-in digital audio networking, streamlining setup and reducing cable clutter for both portable and installed applications.

The mixer provides comprehensive routing, processing, and effects capabilities that rival larger console systems. Each channel is equipped with full parametric EQ, dynamic processing including a compressor/gate, and flexible aux sends. The DL32S includes a robust suite of studio-grade effects processors with dedicated reverb, delay, and multi-effects engines, all fully assignable to any channel or output. Its flexible matrix mixing and subgroup architecture allow for intricate signal flow management, making it suitable for complex live performances, houses of worship, or multi-zone installations. The system records and plays back multi-track audio directly to a connected USB storage device, enabling live recording for archival purposes or virtual soundcheck workflows without the need for an external computer.

Built for reliability in demanding live settings, the DL32S features redundant power supplies and a robust networking infrastructure supporting multiple protocols. Its Dante digital audio network integration allows for seamless expansion and interoperability with a wide range of professional audio gear, facilitating integration into larger systems or streaming setups. The combination of high-channel-count local I/O, wireless freedom, and professional feature set makes the DL32S a central hub for modern audio production, offering the power and flexibility of a large-format console in a portable, rack-mounted format that can be controlled from anywhere in the venue.
