The Mackie DL32SE puts the power of a professional 32-channel digital mixing console into a compact, rack-mountable stagebox. Designed for live bands, venues, schools, churches and touring sound systems, it delivers extensive mixing and routing capabilities without the need for a traditional mixing desk or dedicated front-of-house position.
With 32 Onyx+ microphone preamps, wireless control through the Master Fader SE app and a 32x32 USB audio interface, the DL32SE gives you complete control over your live sound and multitrack recording. Mix from anywhere in the venue, give performers control over their own monitor levels, and save your settings for the next performance.

Our Take
Tired of mixing from the side of the stage, guessing what the audience can actually hear?
The Mackie DL32SE lets you take control of your sound from anywhere in the venue. Connect it to your own Wi-Fi router and use the Master Fader SE app to adjust your mix from a tablet or computer. Walk the room, check the sound from the audience's perspective or make adjustments on stage, all without a traditional mixing desk.
With 32 Onyx+ microphone preamps, there's plenty of room for larger bands, multiple vocalists, fully miked drum kits and complex stage setups. Every channel has its own EQ, gate, and compression, giving you detailed control without needing additional outboard gear.
And what about everyone's monitor mix? Performers can adjust their own levels from compatible devices, while access restrictions protect your main settings. It's a clever solution for bands, schools and churches where different musicians have different monitoring needs.
For venues running regular performances, saved snapshots and offline show preparation can make setup and changeovers considerably easier. The 32x32 USB interface also lets you record individual channels for mixing later or run a virtual soundcheck using a previous recording.
The DL32SE is an excellent choice for working bands managing their own sound, schools and churches with changing performers, and venues needing a flexible, professional mixing system.
More control, faster setup and a better way to hear what your audience hears.
