QUICK START GUIDE

DL806 / DL1608

Hello friends and welcome to the

future of mixing. This document is

just what it says it is: a Quick Start

Guide for the DL806 and DL1608.

No introduction, no ﬁller, no ﬂuff.

Just the very basics to get you

started quickly.

In the following pages, you will be

taught how to make connections and

set levels. You will learn your way

around the Master Fader app.

And in the end, you will be known

around the neighborhood as the

cool kid. Yes, you.

Upon completion, if you’re still

hungry for more, the DL806 / DL1608

Reference Guide contains major

in-depth coverage of everything

listed within these pages.

Let’s get started in ﬁve simple

steps...

1. Get the Apple iPad

(and Wi-Fi Router).

2. Download the Master Fader App.

3. Connect the iPad to the DL806

or DL1608.

4. Make the Audio Connections.

5. Fire Up the DL806 or DL1608

and Launch the Master Fader App.

One of the exciting features

of this mixer–iPad marriage is the

ability to mix wirelessly. Although

not required for wired operation,

be sure that your Wi-Fi router is

nearby, as we will be discussing

wireless connectivity shortly.

The exact hardware needed

for wired and wireless functionality

depends on the DL Series mixer

and iPad in use. Make sure you

have the right iPad, mixer dock

and tray insert for your combination.

Please see the Compatibility

Matrix on the DL Series website

for the latest information:

Five Simple Steps

1. Get the iPad (and Wi-Fi Router):

Ah, the easiest step of the bunch...

or is it? Simply grab your iPad and

Wi-Fi router. But ﬁrst...

...where did I leave that darn thing?

Is it in the bedroom? The bathroom?

Did I leave it at work? Wait, the dogs

are using it...that’s right!

Once Charlie,

Sammy, Rocky,

Rhodie and Juno

have ﬁnished

checking out

the closest

place to get their

favorite doggie

treats, it’s time for

you to get going.

Ruh, good doggie!

Quick Start Guide

2. Download the Master Fader App:

The Master Fader app controls

the mixer and may be downloaded

via iTunes on Mac or PC or right from

the iPad. You’ve downloaded apps

on an iPad before and it’s the same

method to download this one, as

well. Here’s how...

With a good internet connection

via Wi-Fi, 3G, or LTE, turn on the

iPad and tap the App Store icon.

Type “master fader” in the search

box located near the top-right of

the screen.

Five Simple Steps

Tap the blue FREE button.This

then turns into a green INSTALL

button.

Do not be afraid...install!

As if by magic, the Master Fader

icon appears on the iPad Home

screen after it has ﬁnished

downloading.

Even if your iPad has the Master

Fader app already installed, it’s a

good idea to go to the App Store

now to check for updates. You will

want the latest and greatest version

for the absolute best in functionality

and versatility.

3. Connect the iPad to the DL806

or DL1608:

The iPad easily slides onto the

mixer right to left, face up, Home

button on the left; keep sliding

until it mates with the iPad’s dock

connector.

The docked iPad should be

as naked as possible! Remove

all covers, skins, cases, stickers,

magnets, etc. Naked isn’t always

a good thing, but in this case it’s

a necessity!

Also included with the mixer is a

PadLock™. This is used to lock the

iPad into place on the mixer. Place

the PadLock on the right hand side

of the mixer and hand-tighten each

of the two security screws using

the supplied wrench.

Need a little more information

on any of the above? Detailed

descriptions (with pictures even!)

exists in the Reference Guide.

DL806 / DL1608

1) Plug the microphone into the

channel 8 input [Figure A]; that’s

right, we’re getting all crazy now,

skipping channels 1 – 7...who knows

what we’ll do next?!

2) Connect the Main Outs

[Figure A] of the mixer to the

line-level inputs of powered

speakers or to the line-level inputs

of an ampliﬁer (with speakers

already attached).

3) Plug your favorite pair of

headphones into the 1/4" Phones

output jack [Figure B].

Five Simple Steps

4. Make the Audio Connections:

Now it’s time to make some audio

connections. First, make sure the

Power switch and Phantom Power

switch are both OFF [down],

[Figure A]. Also, be sure all Gain

knobs and the Phones knob are

fully counter-clockwise to start,

[Figure B].

You will need (at the very least)

the following items to get the most

out of this Quick Start Guide:

1) microphone, 2) speakers,

3) headphones, 4) cables.

A 12V DC power supply [aka The

Power Block] and a line cord are

included with the mixer. A locking

barrel connector resides at the end

of the cord attached to The Power

Block. Attach it to the mixer’s Power

Connector [Figure C] and rotate the

outer ring clockwise to lock. Now

plug the female end of the line cord

into The Power Block and the male

end into a live grounded AC outlet.

The mixer may accept any AC voltage

ranging from 100 VAC to 240 VAC.

For now, disregard the Network

Connector, Aux Sends and anything

else not mentioned in these ﬁrst

few pages. We will dive into all of

these features later. Our ﬁrst goal

is to ensure that the mixer and app

are communicating with each other,

followed by driving signal through

the mixer.

5. Fire Up the DL806 or DL1608

and Launch the Master Fader App:

Step ﬁve is the reward for following

the four previous steps. It’s time to

turn on the mixer, but whispering

“sweet nothings” to it won’t help.

Instead, you will need to press the

top edge of the Power switch to ﬁre

it up [Figure A]. The Power LED will

illuminate green when engaged.

Now launch the Master Fader app

to get it started. Go ahead and tap

that app!

At this point, you will likely be

prompted to update the ﬁrmware.

Do so by following the on-screen

instructions before continuing.

Five Simple Steps

After updating, the Mixer View

[Figure D] will be shown and at

this point you will want to verify

connectivity. This is easy to do,

as there are only two possibilities:

connected or ofﬂine.

Figure D – Mixer View: Connected

Figure E below shows an iPad

that is currently ofﬂine. In other

words, not connected to the mixer.

So if your app looks like

Figure D, you are cool as

a cucumber, ready to rock...or

jazz...or country...or whatever else

it is that you do at times like these.

In the unusual instance that

“OFFLINE” is displayed, please

follow the directions again, step-

by-step, and also check out the

Troubleshooting section in the

Reference Guide.

If “OFFLINE” still remains, please

contact our splendid Technical

Support heroes. See page 31 for

contact information.

Setting the Levels

Setting the Level on Channel 8

Dudes and dudettes, the mixer

hardware and Master Fader app are

now one and we are ready to start

working! Let’s get signal running

through the mixer from channel 8.

Is a condenser mic (or any other

mic that requires phantom power)

connected to the channel 8 input?

If so, engage the Phantom Power

switch [Figure A] by pressing up

on it. If not, leave it be. This switch

lies conveniently next to the Power

switch. The Phantom Power LED

will illuminate red when the

switch is engaged.

Next, start talking, singing,

crooning, chanting, humming,

warbling, yodeling, whistling and /

or growling into the mic at a real-

world level. While doing this, turn

the channel 8 Gain knob [Figure F]

clockwise until the meters on the

channel 8 fader bounce between the

green and yellow [Figure G].

Note: Audio geeks may refer to

this area as –15 dBFS. Go ahead

and impress your friends with this

knowledge. This one’s a freebie, but

the next one will cost you.

Quick Start Guide

Setting the Levels

Do you notice the Signal / Clip

LED located near the upper-right

area of the channel 8 Gain knob? This

LED illuminates green (to indicate

signal) and red (to indicate clipping).

Clipping is undesirable; turn the Gain

knob counter-clockwise if this LED

constantly ﬂashes red.

Are you ready to kick things up

a notch? Touch the channel 8 fader

and drag it up to around the 0 dB

mark. Slowly do the same to the

master fader, while continuing to

rock out on the mic.

You should now see signal

on the input and output meters

[Figure H], as well as hear the

signal through the speakers. How’s

that for kicking it up a notch?!

Now let’s get signal through

the headphones.

WARNING: The

headphones amp is

loud and could cause

permanent hearing damage. Even

intermediate levels may be painfully

loud with some headphones.

BE CAREFUL! Always turn the

Phones knob all the way down

before connecting headphones or

doing anything new that may affect

the headphone volume. Then turn it

up slowly while listening carefully.

Put the headphones on and slowly

turn the Phones knob [Figure B]

clockwise until you hear the talking/

singing/crooning/chanting/humming/

warbling/yodeling/whistling/growling

coming through the cans.

Congratulations! You just

downloaded the Master Fader App,

connected the iPad to the mixer,

made audio connections and set the

level on your ﬁrst channel!

Now let’s take a look at

the hardware and software in

greater detail.

Channel 8 and Master Fader

DL806 / DL1608

Mixer Hardware: Inputs

You already hooked up a mic

to the channel 8 input and got

signal out of the speakers and

headphones. This means that there

are an additional 15 inputs at your

disposal!1

All channels may accept a mic or

line-level signal on an XLR connector,

while channels 13-162may also accept

a 1/4" line-level signal.

The steps for setting the

levels on the remaining channels

is exactly the same as it was for

channel 8 (as described in the

previous two pages, 6-7).

1Seven additional inputs on the DL806.

2Channels 5-8 on the DL806.

Mixer Hardware : Connections

Mixer Hardware: Aux Sends

Also on the rear panel of the

mixer are six Aux Sends3. Here you

may run up to six separate monitor

mixes by connecting these balanced

1/4" jacks to the line-level inputs of

powered speakers or to line-level

inputs of an ampliﬁer (with speakers

already attached).

Headphone ampliﬁers and/or

external effects devices may also be

connected to the Aux Sends.

We will discuss setting aux levels

later in the Quick Start Guide.

3Four Aux Sends on the DL806.

Mixer Hardware: Network

The real power of the mixer

becomes clear when it is controlled

wirelessly. All that’s necessary is to

connect it to a Wi-Fi access point.

It is possible to utilize an existing

network, but with a dedicated Wi-Fi

router, you have complete control

of the router, resulting in the best

possible performance.

Nearly any Wi-Fi router found at a

reputable store will work. There are

four things to look for:

(1) Ethernet connection. Make

sure the Wi-Fi router connects via

Ethernet, NOT USB!

(2) DHCP. The router needs to be

able to assign an IP address to the

mixer.

Quick Start Guide

Mixer Hardware : Wireless Setup

Step 5: In the iPad’s Wi-Fi settings

page, select the name of the wireless

network you created. This might be

the default name of the router. You

might also have to enter the router’s

default password at this time. Make

sure the correct network is selected.

Step 6: Slide the iPad into the dock

of the mixer, if it isn’t already.

Step 7: Launch the Master Fader

app.

Step 8: Click the Gear icon to display

the Tools menu. From here, select

Devices.

Step 9: There will be three unique

sections listed: Work Ofﬂine/

Demo, Wired and Wireless. At this

point the Wired DL806 or DL1608

should be selected. Now leave the

Tools menu and reconﬁrm that the

DL806 or DL1608 may be controlled

from Master Fader over the wired

connection.

Step 10: Go back to the Tools >

Devices menu. Now undock the iPad

from the mixer and select the

Wireless DL806 or DL1608 from the

devices list.

At this point you should be able

to control the mixer wirelessly.

Also, “CONNECTED” should

now be displayed below the

Tools icon.

If “DISCONNECTED” is shown, or the

DL806 or DL1608 is not shown in the

wireless devices list, please follow

the directions again, step by step,

and also check out the Reference

Guide for more detailed instructions.

If all else fails, contact our splendid

technical support heroes.

See page 31 for contact information.

That wasn’t so bad now, was it?

Hardware complete, commence

with software. Turn the page to learn

more about the Master Fader app...

In most cases, the router will handle

this task. However, there are some

routers that can’t complete this

simple assignment and should not be

used. Routers with a single Ethernet

port often will not work well with the

DL806 and DL1608 for this reason.

(3) 802.11n. We prefer and strongly

suggest going with an 802.11n as

your Wi-Fi mode. However,

802.11g also works.

(4) Name. We are not in the business

of suggesting what Wi-Fi router

to go with, but choosing one with

an instantly recognizable, quality,

trustworthy brand name doesn’t hurt.

OK let’s go!

Step 1: Turn the mixer off.

Step 2: Plug in the Wi-Fi router. Most

of the default router settings will

work with your mixer, but you might

need to conﬁgure the wireless router

ﬁrst. Please refer to the router’s

manual for detailed information.

Step 3: Connect an Ethernet cable

between the mixer and router. Make

sure you are using a LAN port on the

router, not a WAN port!

Step 4: Turn on the Wi-Fi router ﬁrst

and wait for it to completely boot up.

Good? Now turn on the mixer.

DL806 / DL1608

Introduction

The Master Fader app has

powerful features, but it is easy to

learn...and the more you use it, the

more intuitive it becomes.

As you work your way through

each of these sections, we urge you

to NOT just read this Quick Start

Guide and look at the images, but

instead, take each piece of newfound

knowledge and put it to use...PLAY

with it! Move faders, engage buttons,

change images and personalize

names, etc. This is software and

cannot be broken.

We’ll start with the features of

the Mixer View as this is where you

will spend much of the time. The key

mixing controls of every input and

output of the mixer exist here.

You will also spend quite a bit

of time in the Channel View. The

Channel View is where plug-in

processing is adjusted on individual

channel inputs and outputs,

including EQ, dynamics and FX.
