16-channel Rackmount Digital Mixer
The Mackie DL16SE is a 16-channel digital rack mixer designed for live sound engineers and recording studios. It combines 16 Onyx+ preamps with a 16-in/16-out USB audio interface for multitrack recording and virtual soundcheck. Wireless control via the Master Fader SE app replaces a physical control surface, allowing up to 20 devices to manage the mix simultaneously from tablets, Macs or PCs.
Wireless App Control Limits
Mixing relies entirely on a wireless router connection to the Master Fader SE app, so a stable local network is essential for operation. The app supports up to 20 simultaneous device connections for shared control, but latency and reliability depend on the router quality and RF environment. No physical faders or knobs exist on the hardware, meaning control is unavailable if the network fails or a compatible device is not present.
Rackmount Build and Connectivity
The unit measures 5.8 by 14.1 by 5.6 inches and weighs 10.83 pounds, fitting a standard equipment rack for portable or installed use. Sixteen combination inputs and eight XLR outputs handle stage wiring directly from the front panel. A corded electric power supply removes the need for an external adapter, while the USB interface provides direct computer connectivity for recording and playback.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 16-channel or 32-channel version for a small live band?
The 16-channel model provides 16 Onyx+ preamps and 16-in/16-out USB audio, which fits a typical small-band setup with room for monitors and effects.
What does the 16-in/16-out USB audio interface actually let me do in a session?
You can record 16 separate tracks to a computer and play back 16 tracks for virtual soundcheck or backing tracks, all over a single USB connection.
Does the USB connection limit the number of simultaneous recording tracks?
No, the USB interface supports the full 16-input / 16-output channel count at once, so every preamp and return can be captured or played back simultaneously.
