MACKIE ONYX 1620 MIXER Onyx Series mixers deliver more useful features, better sound quality, advanced tonal shaping, lots of "extras" like 4-segment LED metering on every channel, and optional FireWire connectivity. New Onyx mic preamps meet or surpass almost any standalone mic preamp on the market in terms of pure fidelity and headroom. The "neo classic" Perkins EQ circuitry gives you the sweet musicality of British EQ and a true hardware EQ bypass. This analogue brilliance is paired with a full-featured discrete Aux section, a completely redesigned mix bus and summing amp section, and a Talkback section with onboard mic. The Onyx 1220 provides 4 mic/line inputs, 8 line inputs, 2 buses and 3-band Perkins EQ with sweepable midrange. The Onyx 1620 provides 8 mic/line inputs, 4 stereo line inputs, 2 buses and 4-band Perkins EQ with dual sweepable midrange. Add the optional 96k FireWire card and you can output a combination of direct outputs (from every single input channel) and the L-R mix, directly into a FireWire equipped computer, and, at the same time, return 2 channels of computer audio for monitoring through the control room/phones matrix. Optional FireWire I/O The Simplicity of Analogue. The Convenience of Digital. The Onyx FireWire I/O Card is a true first. This 24-bit/96k card bridges the gap between Mackie`s flagship Onyx analogue mixers and a Mac or PC, giving musicians and engineers a great-sounding and very efficient way to go from analogue to digital - without the need for separate converter boxes or interfaces.
