Mackie's most affordable live sound mixers yet!
Mackie crammed so much cool stuff into their DFX consoles that it's almost impossible to know where to start. Not only are they Mackie's most affordable live mixers, but they might be the most feature-packed consoles in their class. The DFX mixers were designed to give pro quality control and sound to performing musicians who don't have the budget (or inclination) for a sound guy and all that entails, and don't want to be at the mercy of the house sound operator or sound system everywhere they play (or maybe there is no sound operator where you play).
The DFX mixers are easy to control when you're on stage. One glance at the consoles will tell you everything you need to know. Digital effects and a graphic equalizer are built in, so you don't have to deal with a rack of outboard gear. There's even a "break switch" that lets you mute your mic channels and switches to the CD/tape input, so that music plays between sets. The DFX are built tough to withstand the rigors of playing live. But above all, and most importantly, they sound fantastic, with the low noise and high head room that have practically become a Mackie design trademark.

 Pretty solid little guy for the money

Music Background: Pro Singer/Musician
“I carry this only for backup. I'm a soloist and can get away with the limited number of inputs the DFX offers. My main board is a Soundcraft Spirit 12. This has most anything you'd need. The graphic eq, effects, and pre-amps are fairly good, but of course, nothing like my rack gear. Still, it's a super value for the money, and if this is all you need, by all means get it. For $250, I don't think...” Read More
