Description
Docs
The new DFX mixers are designed specifically for solo or small performing groups that don't have the luxury of a front-of-house sound technician?those die-hard do-it-yourselfers that manage their own set-up and tear-down while possessing the uncanny ability to simultaneously make music and control their own audio mix. All knobs are color-coded and can be easily identified at a glance. Channel faders are white. Effects and Monitor Sends are red. Master level faders are blue. The jack field is on the top surface so connections are immediate and every channel has a Level Set and Overload LED that can be effortlessly seen on a dark stage.

Extremely easy to use, these new mixers are also equipped with all of the same features that have made Mackie mixers the standard for working musicians. Both new DFX include a combination of mic/line and stereo line inputs, silky smooth 60mm faders, and Mackie Designs' proprietary 32-bit EMAC custom digital effects processor with 16 effects. Each mixer also offers low-noise, low-distortion, studio-grade, 5-band stereo program equalizers wrapped in a box rugged enough to withstand years of on-the-road wear and tear.

"The new DFX mixers are a great addition to our existing product line," stated Ivan Schwartz, Corporate Director, Global Sound Reinforcement Product and Market Development at Mackie Designs, Inc. "They are the most affordable mixers in the Mackie family and offer an exceptional mixture of features and performance."

"Great mixer, impressive sound, outstandind effects! A must have for solo people!"
Feature:
The features it has are good but it could have had a mid EQ with the hi and low. The vocal elimiantor does not work very well. It just muffles the vocals and make the rest of the music sound like it's going through a reverb unit. Effects are great and just the ones I need on a regular basis.

Quality:
Very well built. The cable connectors are firm, cables don't just fall out or come out with great ease. Faders are solid too. No wall wart!!! Other companys should follow suit! The effects soud great! The best reverb ever. Chours is smooth and full. Flange and phaser can be used without hearing extra modulation.

Value:
I never would have paid $300 for this. However when it went for $189.95 I said SOLD!

Desirability:
This is not the perfect mixer but it is close. The things I don't like are far out weighed by all the other features, quality and impressive sound. I've looked for a mixer for over 18 months. I've compared mixers over and over again and came up with this one. It looks better than all the others too.

Sound:
The sound can't be beat! Very high quality!

Overall:
I plan on having this mixer for a long time and wanted something of a good reputation. One can't go wrong with Mackie. I am a one man band and this fits my needs very well.

"Another Winner"
Feature:
Decent features, high quality construction, the effects are about average but are clean sounding. An add on effects unit of top quality is being purchased to replace the on-board.

Quality:
My particular unit was pristine in condition. No shortcomings in quality at all

Value:
Are you kidding? A unit like this would have easily cost around $700.00 just 10 years ago.

Desirability:
Very usefull start for my home hobby studio-Just wish I had gotten the 12 channel

Sound:
Very clean sound, this mixer is the basis for my apartment home studio. I used the tapco line back in the 70's for live sound reinforcement, so mackie was a natural for me

Support:
Hard to rte as I have not had any problems

Overall:
Expect long term realiability,will NOT replace it until it dies
