Stagebox Design
Musicians, engineers, venues, and everyone in between need to get up and running, and sound great quickly. The DL16S can be placed anywhere you need it. Steel construction, big rubber corners, and a handle that wasn't an afterthought means that you can count on it to deal with the not-so-delicate load in at gigs every night.

Built-In WiFi
When every second counts in your setup time, the last thing you want to worry about is networking issues. DL16S creates its own network so you can connect your control device directly via WiFi. Need even more range? Connect your mixer via Cat5E / Cat6 Ethernet directly to your own wireless router or network switch.

Powerful Processing
With the DL16S, you get powerful processing that replaces racks and racks of outboard gear, takes up WAY less space and is incredibly affordable.
