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.
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.
