BUILT-IN SMARTS
MORE THAN A DIGITAL MIXER
DLZ Creator XS is designed to help you become a better content producer.
Mix Agent™
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
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.
Mix Minus
Using Mix Minus with your Bluetooth®-connected smartphone lets you add a caller into the mix with no audible echo when they speak.
INS AND OUTS OF PRODUCING
2 PC Setup with NDI
Using an Ethernet cable, connect DLZ Creator XS to your router — the same router connected to your computer. Install the NDI Tools software, and DLZ Creator XS becomes an audio input and output on your NDI network.
RECORD/STREAM TO COMPUTER, SD CARD
DLZ Creator XS is more than a podcast mixer or audio interface. Use it to record or stream multitrack audio to a computer via USB-C or an NDI connection, or straight to SD card for a truly self-contained setup.
All the power of a DLZ creator in a compact format
Connect up to 2 microphones and 3 external devices—including a smartphone—using analog, Bluetooth, or USB.
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 XS 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.
