THREE VERSATILE MODES
DLZ Creator XS features the same dsp processing power and features of the larger DLZ Creator model, now in a compact design that doesn’t sacrifice on capability.
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.
SUPPORTS 2-PC STREAMING SETUPS
DLZ Creator XS can send and receive audio in the NDI format using the Ethernet port. 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.
WHAT IS NDI?
Professional broadcasters know NDI as the standard way to send video and audio feeds over long distances and manage them all at the same time. Streamers know NDI as one of the best ways to stream with OBS, using the OBS NDI plugin. If you haven’t used NDI, you don’t know what you’re missing. NDI can streamline your setup, improve your audio and video quality, eliminate latency and more, all over simple Ethernet connections.
MENU NAVIGATION
Avoid menu diving with six customizable trigger pads. Set the pads to trigger samples from 8 storage banks, add voice-changing FX and use important controls like censor, duck, fade and “locals only” (for off-the-record chatting).
INPUTS / OUTPUTS
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.
CUSTOM HEADPHONE MIXES
DLZ Creator XS allows you to make custom headphone mixes, that work like an auxiliary send would on an analog mixer.
