MACKIE DLZ CREATOR XS
Mackie’s DLZ Creator XS is a slimmed-down ver- sion of its DLZ Creator all-in-one content creation studio. Designed for podcasters and streamers who need fewer inputs and outputs, DLZ Creator XS delivers the same broadcast-quality results as the larger DLZ Creator. With its Mix Agent soft- ware, users are guided through each step of the setup process, from setting input gain to configuring headphone outputs. AutoMix functionality enables each speaker to be heard clearly, even during crosstalk, keeping the main output level consistent. DLZ work modes transform how users’ interact with DLZ Creator XS, from the preset-based easy mode to the fully hands-on pro mode, which gives the user total control. The new DLZ Creator XS features two high-quality Onyx80 mic preamps with up to 80 dB of gain and two headphone outputs, while the original DLZ Creator has four of each. {mackie.com}
