 Mackie flagship 16-channel premium analog mixer, with 24-bit/96kHz FireWire I/O capabilities.
TWO YEARS IN THE MAKING...
The goal for Mackie's flagship Onyx series of small-format mixers was to bring premium analog sound, expanded features, and streaming FireWire connectivity to both recording and live sound environments. To pull all this off, we started with a team of veteran audio product engineers from the great Pacific Northwest (aka Woodinville, Washington). The Onyx team quickly set out by specifying the highest-quality analog components--from premium op-amps to IC chips costing exponentially more than previous designs. In many cases, we developed components completely from scratch. With Greg Mackie himself steering Onyx mixer layout and design, we took a "real world" approach to the entire process.
| Mic Inputs/Preamps: | | 16 new ONYX mic preamps comparable to boutique preamps |
| Buses: | | 4-bus architecture for flexible sub-grouping of channels |
| EQ's: | | New 4-band Perkins EQ with dual sweepable midrange controls provides warm, musical sound |
| Instrument inputs: | | 2 Selectable Instrument inputs on first two channels—no DI box needed |
| Sends: | | 6 Aux Sends w/ Pre/Post and Solo switches |
| Returns: | | 4 stereo line-level Aux Returns |
| Direct Outputs: | | Balanced direct outs for every channel via DB-25 connections, or via Firewire card cable |
| Extra Features: | | FIREWIRE I/O CARD INCLUDED
It also acts as a soundcard when connected to the PC via a Firewire cable, so you wont need an additional soundcard.
In the category of "Why didn't someone think of this sooner?", we gave the Onyx 1640 an optional FireWire I/O card, which bridges the analog-to-digital gap by providing up to 18 independent channels of high-quality 24-bit/96kHz audio that you can plug right into your FireWire-equipped Mac or PC. And bring a stereo mix back from your computer for monitoring purposes. |
