DL806 and DL1608 Owner’s Manual
4
Chapter 1 : Welcome
Hello everyone! This is the DL806 and DL1608 Owner’s Manual...we hope you like it!
Instead of one massive document containing detailed information about the hardware and software,
we have divided them into separate manuals. Simply decide if you need assistance with the hardware
or software and dive on in. The water here is warm and crystal clear.
The following pages describe the hardware side of things and should remain relatively unchanged
throughout the life of your product. The software, though, is another story. The Master Fader app is
always being updated...even right now this very minute! This means frequent updates to the Reference
Guide, rmware and more. With each major release comes an updated Reference Guide.
So there you have it. Again, we hope you like it. If you have any questions or comments about this Owner’s
Manual, please contact us at: www.mackie.com/support
About This Guide
This guide is designed to be accessible, with subsections as complete as practical to minimize having to
electronically leaf back and forth looking for the whole story. This guide provides the following resources:
• A general overview of the DL806 and DL1608’s facilities and features.
• Dissection-by-dissection description of each input and output.
• Hookup diagrams depicting some of the more common setups.
As the saying goes, “a picture tells a 1000 words”. With that thought in mind, we added quite
a few illustrations, screen shots and other images throughout to accompany the text.
This icon marks information that is critically important or unique! For your own good, read
and remember them...it is a good idea to pay special attention to these areas in the Owner’s
Manual marked with the “VERY IMPORTANT” hand icon.
There’s an illustration of a microscope, so, of course, you’re going to get more detailed
information when you see this little guy. There are explanations of features and practical
tips listed here.
It’s a good idea to pay attention to text displayed next to a note icon, as this icon draws
attention to certain features and functions relating to the usage of the mixer.
This seems like as good a place as any to have our rst note together (and I will cherish
this moment forever)! Whether you have a DL806 or a DL1608 mixer, this is THE place
to be! This Owner’s Manual covers the hardware of both mixers. The dierences between
the two are noted throughout. If not specically noted, operation is the same for both mixers.
