Introduction
Note:
As new software releases be-
come available, they can be down-
loaded from the Mackie website by
going to the dXb webpage at:
http://www.mackie.com/products/dxb.
You will need a USB flash drive (a.k.a. thumb-
drive) to transfer the installer package from your
computer to the dXb. Installation instructions are
also available on the website.
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
We know that many of you can’t wait to get your
new dXb hooked up, and you’re probably not going
to read the manual first (sigh!). So this Quick-Start
Guide will help you get the mixer set up fast so you
can start using it right away. After the "Getting
Started" section, we have included some hook-up
diagrams that show typical connections for track-
ing, mixdown, and using the dXb with a DAW (Digi-
tal Audio Workstation).
Then, when you have time, read the owner's
manual. It describes every knob, button, and slider
on the console, and all the menus and windows on
the touchscreens.
Please write your serial number here for future
reference (i.e., insurance claims, tech support,
return authorization, etc.)

Date of purchase:
Thank you for choosing a Mackie dXb for your
next-generation digital recording console. The dXb
offers you the flexibility to configure it for virtually
any recording application through its extended card
cage and I/O routing options. It was designed with
the ability to upgrade as advancements are made in
digital recording technology. But with 32-bit floating
point processing, you have more power than just about
any other digital mixing console in its class.
We know you want to get started right away, so
this Quick-Start Guide is designed to help you get
up and running quickly. If you have experience
using a digital mixing console, like our D8B, you’ll
find that using the dXb is very similar and you’ll be
mixing away in no time. If this is your first experi-
ence with digital mixing, we’ll run you through
some of the unique aspects of using a digital mixing
console. You will find that once you’ve learned these
differences and the incredible flexibility that digital
mixing has to offer, you will have a very short learn-
ing curve, and wonder how you have lived without
the power of digital mixing for so long.
