Mackie Master Fader App Delivers Intuitive Control over Mackie DL1608 MixerMackie announces the first release of the much anticipated Mackie Master Fader control application for the Mackie DL1608 16-channel Digital Live sound mixer with iPad control. This preview release of the Master Fader app comes before DL1608 availability, providing the perfect way to try out the functions of the DL1608 mixer before you buy. "There's been a tremendous amount of interest in the DL1608 -- especially surrounding the user interface," commented Ben Olswang, Mackie product manager. "That's why we wanted to release the Master Fader control app as soon as possible. Anybody interested in the Mackie DL1608 can get their hands on the intuitive touch control app before the mixer hits the shelves." The Master Fader app delivers total control over the Mackie DL1608. With a focus on speed and control, the Master Fader control app was designed from the ground up for touch. Eliminating unnecessary screens and avoiding redundancies, the Master Fader control app offers simple navigation, wired or wirelessly, in conjunction with the Mackie DL1608 hardware. Completely updateable via the iOS app store, future releases will be packed with feature upgrades and additional functionality. Not all features are available on this preview version, but will be complete when the DL1608 hits the shelves. The company says the Mackie DL1608 redefines live mixing by combining a full-featured digital mixer with the ease and mobility of an iPad. With 16 Onyx mic preamps and the performance of 24-bit Cirrus Logic AD/DA converters, the DL 1608 delivers sound quality. Seamless wired to wireless iPad control allows a user to mix from anywhere in the venue, providing the mobile freedom to control not only the mix, but also powerful plug-ins like EQ, dynamics, effects, and more. The sleek DL 1608 even supports up to 10 iPad devices so musicians can control their own monitor mix on stage. Mackie currently anticipates the first DL1608 shipments to begin arriving at dealers beginning in August. ![](/std_images/blank.gif)
