Mackie DLZ Creator XS - Compact Adaptive Digital Mixer for Podcasting and Streaming

Inspired in part by smartphone and DSLR cameras that make great results accessible to anyone, DLZ Creator XS transforms the on-screen controls to meet your creative style or skill level—without compromising processing power or sound quality.

THREE VERSATILE MODES

A digital recorder for all experience levels.

ENHANCED - Expanded control over your sound and mix. For those who want some customization without an overwhelming number of options.

PRO - Total control and fully customizable. For those who know what they want, and how to get it.

BUILT-IN SMARTS

More than a digital mixer - DLZ Creator XS is designed to help you become a better content producer.

Mix Agent™ is your personal audio assistant that guides you through setup and sound check, so in a few button presses you’ll be recording.

AutoMix manages levels for up to four mics so everyone can be heard—even when they speak at the same time—which is a big help when you’re busy hosting a show with multiple guests or hosts.

Using Mix Minus with your Bluetooth®-connected smartphone lets you add a caller into the mix with no audible echo when they speak.

THE INS AND OUTS OF PRODUCING

A professional studio mixer for your desktop.

DLZ Creator XS harnesses decades of Mackie expertise, making every detail count for your productions. From Onyx80 preamps that make even low-output mics sound both loud and pristine, to customized headphone mixes for each of your guests, DLZ Creator gives you the benefits of a professional studio mixer without the steep learning curve.

READY FOR WHAT’S NEXT

A portable and versatile podcasting interface.

As a content creator, you know that flexibility is key. No matter how you like to create, the DLZ Creator XS podcast mixer supports you every step of the way. Record or stream to a computer via USB-C, or skip the computer and record full multitrack audio to an SD card for a truly self-contained setup.
