FRONT PANEL FEATURES

Note: The front panel controls only apply to the A and B outputs. Outputs C through J are controlled with the DX-10E-PC software interface.

INPUT UP/DOWN BUTTONS

Use these buttons to adjust the mix level for each input channel.

INPUT LED DISPLAY

This indicates the signal level after the mic preamp stage, just after the A/D converter, but prior to any digital signal processing. When any input UP/ DOWN button is pressed, all the meters (except EQ) switch from level metering to level setting indication. After five seconds, the meters switch back to normal peak program metering (PPM).

When the 10 and 7 LEDs are both lit, the gain is set to unity (0 dB).

EQ LO/HI UP/DOWN BUTTONS

These buttons are disabled in the DX810 (they are for DX8 use only).

DX810 specifications

The Mackie DX810 is a versatile mixer designed for both live sound and studio applications, combining intuitive operation with a host of advanced features. This compact device, with its robust design, is perfect for musicians, sound engineers, and content creators alike, making it an essential tool for any audio setup.

One of the key features of the DX810 is its ten channels, which provide ample space for connecting multiple audio sources. Each channel comes equipped with a 3-band EQ, allowing users to tailor the sound to their specific needs. The built-in effects processor further enhances audio flexibility, offering a range of reverb and delay options. This makes it easier to create professional-quality soundscapes without the need for external equipment.

The bright LED indicators provide visual feedback, allowing sound engineers to monitor levels effectively and avoid clipping.

Additionally, the robust construction of the DX810 ensures reliable performance in diverse environments, from intimate venues to large-scale events. Its portable design means that it can be easily transported, making it a favored choice for mobile sound engineers and gigging musicians.

In summary, the Mackie DX810 is packed with features designed to meet the needs of modern audio professionals. With its impressive channel count, built-in effects, recording capabilities, and solid build quality, it stands out as an essential mixer for anyone looking to enhance their sound experience. Whether in a studio or on stage, the DX810 delivers exceptional performance and flexibility.
