DFX6 6x2 Compact Live Sound Mixer with On-Board Effects

The DFX•6 is pretty straight-forward: you can plug microphones or mono line level sources such as guitars or bass into channels 1 and 2. And you can plug mono or stereo line level sources (keyboards, tone modules, etc.) into Channels 3/4, and 5/6. Mics can also be plugged into Channels 3 and 5.

What makes an inexpensive mixer sound cheap? Excessive noise and marginal dynamic headroom. Ask anyone who's upgraded to a Mackie mixer and they'll tell you the first noticable
difference is that they can load their new Mackie mixer with hot, high-volume inputs without
hearing a lot of distortion.That's due to our special negative gain mix amp architecture. This "higher headroom" is especially apparent with mics plugging into our microphone preamps. Our circuitry can handle screaming vocalists and close-miked drums without "breaking up."

Long, logarithmic taper faders.
Instead of little stubby faders, the DFX•6 and DFX•12 have generious 60mm faders. And their log-taper design means that the sound doesn't drop to zero abruptly as you lower the volume - you have full level control over the complete length of fader travel.

Accurate 32-bit effects.
Unlike a lot of our competitors, we also make digital audio components for recording studios. Our Digital Engineering division applied some of the same technology to the DFX Series' effects that we use in our $10,000 Digital 8•Bus console.
