Compact Adaptive Digital Mixer
The Mackie DLZ Creator XS is a compact adaptive digital mixer built for podcasters and streamers who want professional sound without a steep learning curve. Three Creator Modes — Easy, Enhanced and Pro — adapt the 7-inch touchscreen to match your skill level and workflow. MixAgent and Automix handle level management for up to two microphones automatically.
Upgrade from Basic USB Interfaces
This mixer replaces a simple USB audio interface when you need on-board processing, tactile control and the ability to manage two streaming setups simultaneously via Ethernet audio. The jump is worth it when you want guided setup, automatic gain staging and a hardware surface that lets you stay focused on content instead of software menus.
Two Mic Preamps with 80 dB Gain
Two microphone preamps provide up to 80 dB of gain, giving clean headroom for dynamic and low-output mics without an external booster. Four quick-control knobs and six programmable pads handle routing, effects and scene changes. The feature set stops at two mic channels, so productions that need three or more simultaneous microphones will require a larger console.

Questions about this item
How much desk space does the 7" touchscreen mixer occupy?
The DLZ Creator XS is a compact desktop mixer with a built-in 7-inch full-colour touchscreen and four control knobs plus six pads, designed to sit on a standard work surface without rack ears.
What is the first step when installing the mixer for a two-mic podcast, and what do users often skip?
Connect both microphones to the two preamp inputs, then launch the on-screen guided setup in Easy mode to run AutoMix calibration; many users skip the calibration and leave gain untouched.
When will the two microphone preamps need attention or replacement?
The preamps are solid-state with up to 80 dB gain and have no user-serviceable parts; they require no scheduled maintenance unless a hardware fault develops.
