Mackie AXIS Digital Mixing System

DC16 surface + DL32R mixer, Mackie's modular live ecosystem

Description

The AXIS combines the DC16 surface, the DL32R mixer and the Master Fader app into a modular, Dante-driven system. As a sound engineer, I like the idea of a large touch surface (17 motorised faders, per-channel colour screens) paired with a remote rack mixer and three iPads — you mix at the console, at the amps or out in the room without leaving the ecosystem.
