I don't have any "Matrix" inputs or outputs showing up on my DL32R... How am I supposed to enable them in Master Fader as the OUTPUT page has no left side listing of them but I see them in videos?

Alan.

Your pictures are super-low resolution, so difficult to see the details, but if I see this correctly, you have the source A set to "None" for your channel. You'll need to assign channel 10 to a physical input (routing page), then you should get a gain slider.

What Mackie make a mistake!....It's in their DNA. Let me give some examples starting with yours:
DL32R -------> DL32S
DL1608 -------> DL16S
FreePlay Personal ------> Freeplay Live, Thunp GO 8, Thump12BST.
If I checked further there would be more.
Introduce a winner and follow through with loser's is Mackie's way.
Time to stock up on spare DL32R's or find a replacement John.
Cheers
 

Hi WK,

    Good to hear you found a solution, and good to know about the higher-powered D-cells.

    Another option may be one of the Li battery rebuilders online.
Several are replacing older tech with newer, with more capacity, longer life, etc.
Just watch out for cheap, un-regulated fire starters!    : -O

Thanks and good health,  Weogo

Back in 2015 Mackie introduced Freeplay Personal a very useful small venue sound system. I purchased one and after four years it needed a new battery. A simple solution was to order a new replacement Li-Ion  battery. Not so. Originally it had options for AC power, D cell batteries or a custom Mackie Li-Ion battery. I opted for the Li-Ion power source. Although the claim was 10 hrs it only lasted about 7 hrs. After about 4 yrs it needed a replacement since it only lasted 1.5 hrs. Simple solution was to replace this, not so. The search provided replacements for 6800mAh and the original 5200mAh from an distributor called  Cameron Sino. ShenZen HENZENS Technology Co. Limited is listed as the manufacturer. The results was clear and repeated several times. The new 6800mAh lasted 1.5 hrs and the 5200mAh lasted all of 1 hrs. I'm going to open up both units to find the truth but the results are clear. The Cameron Sino product is a SCAM. The original Mackie product is claimed to be available at Sweetwater but if the label shows CS send it back. I have since replaced this with a much better solution that has given me 18 hrs of usage and is rechargeable. EBL "D" batteries made from LD-NIMH (Low Discharge) rated at 10,000mAh. Caution previous "D" cells were AA cells in a "D" cell enclosure and a capacity of about 2200-2800mAh you don't want these. The cost is also lower at around $45 at Amazon vs $70 Li-Ion at Sweetwater. A  no-brainer and future proof with the industry standard "D" cell.
