Product Description

Mackie designed the new DFX Series mixers for folks who don't have the luxury of a front-of-house sound technician. Working professionals who have to control their own mix while making music and have to do their own set-up and tear-down. What does that mean? It means that Mackie has made the DFX6 extremely easy to use. For example, if you have a front-of-house sound person to control your effects levels,they can locate a small knob and tweak it. But if you're on stage,it's a lot easier to grab a big, color-coded fader. Plus you can see the fader positions from halfway across the stage. That's the philosophy of the DFX Series: make it easy to control a mixer when you're busy on stage. Channel faders are white. Effects and Monitor Sends are red, master levels faders are blue. The Tape/CD level fader is also white but separated from the channel faders. You get "mixing at a glance." Specifications: 6 total channels 2 stereo busses 2 mic/line channles 2 stereo/mono line channels 2 mono mic/stereo line channels Channel EQ: 2-band, shelving 80Hz & 12kHz +75Hz low cut on mono mic channels Aux sends/ch.: 1 ext. pre-fader, 1 int./ext. post Aux returns: 2 stereo Tape ins/outs: stereo RCA Channel inserts: 2 Faders: 60mm

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome, March 9, 2007

If you've heard that Mackie is the best, you have heard right. I am using this with a Bose PS1 tower system, and the result is awesome! Easy to use, clear directions, and some of the buttons can be seen in the dark. The only thing that threw me was the mute button. It is very tiny, and when it was accidently on one time, I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out why the system wasn't working. Other than that, it is very intuitive to use. The Bose, on the other hand, has been difficult to get to know, and using the two together has been a wild ride. I have ended up setting the Bose settings very low, and then using the Mackie controls for head room. This keeps everything clean and clear.

I bought this mixer because I needed a small mixer and I already had the larger version (with more channel)
It has excellent sound and lots of controls

I spent a lot of time comparing the technical stuff between this system and several other leading mixers. The FX6 is a very vestal mixer that provides a wide range of extra goodies. It is quite capable of being used in any sound setting including a recording studio.
