Digital Audio Mixer/Signal Processor
DX8
MIXER
■ The DX8 is a Digital Signal Processing-based digital
audio mixer and processor designed for use in a variety
of installations such as churches, courtrooms, convention
centers and hotels. It provides eight universal inputs and
two balanced outputs allowing true 8x2 mixing for stereo
or dual zone applications. In its base configuration, the
DX8 includes powerful signal processing software to com-
plement the 8x2 mixing structure. Optional software and
hardware is available to further expand the DX8’s capabil-
ities, allowing it to meet the needs of more sophisticated
applications.
■ Each of the eight input channels is capable of being
terminated to one of two Phoenix-type detachable con-
nectors, each optimized to accept either microphone or
line-level signals. Microphone preamplifiers utilize
Mackie’s proprietary XDR
™
technology to offer studio-
quality audio performance. Phantom power, of 48VDC, is
switchable individually on each microphone input. Two
Auxiliary, line-level inputs with trim are provided, allow-
ing analog signals to be mixed with the A and B master
mixes. Master outputs deliver balanced line level signals
to detachable Phoenix-type connectors as well as
buffered unbalanced signals to RCA connectors intended
for recording.
■ The DX8 offers an intuitive front panel user interface,
consisting of dual-function LED bar graph meters for each
input and output. Input meters indicate the presence of
signal before signal processing (pre-fader), while output
meters indicate actual level at the output (post-fader).
Levels are set by means of front panel, UP/DOWN push-
buttons dedicated to each input and output. A MODE
button is used to select between Mix A and B, allowing
adjustment of levels to both mix outputs from the same
set of input controls. A third function of the MODE button
allows the user to LOCK the front panel controls until a
security unlock code is entered.
■ The DX8 offers flexible interface options through
dedicated inputs and outputs for control and program-
ming purposes. Two independent RS232 connectors are
provided, one on the front panel and one on the rear, for
connection to a computer or control system. A multi-pin
(DB25) connector on the rear panel allows interface
between the 10 Logic Inputs and 10 Logic Outputs to
switches, LEDs and other devices, enabling hardware con
trol and indication from custom control panels. All logic
