Check it out! Not on the shelves yet…although be sure to stop by your local periodicals section starting in Sept. Great, in-depth review of the entire Mackie Onyx-i Series, with a nice detail piece on the Onyx 1640i.

Reviewer, Mike Metlay, had the following awesome things to say about Onyx-i:

“With the Onyx-i mixers, Mackie takes a strong step forward, completely integrating the many great features of the Onyx products with a comprehensive and remarkably easy-to-use FireWire implementation.”

“This mixer [Onyx 1640i] pretty much nails the paradigm of the full featured analog front end for a computer recording system, giving you all the flexibility you could hope for and topping it off with amazing audio quality.”

Enough said. Click here to check out the full review.

The MCU Pro family of control surfaces (MCU Pro, Extender Pro and C4 Pro) are the obvious choice for anyone who is even remotely serious about having hands-on control of their software. The series boasts Mackie's ultra-high resolution Mackie Control Protocol and more tactile control than any other surface out there. Check out the latest reviews and I think you will find that the industry agrees.

For the record, Mackie loves the following:

• Awards
• Accolades
• Tributes
• Honors
• Rave Reviews
• Redhook Brewery

So, we took the role of proud parents when we heard that the 402-VLZ3 & 802-VLZ3 won the Studio Ready Award from GuitarGearHeads.com.

Dan Halberg, product reviewer, had the following to say about why GuitarGearHeads.com chose the ultra-compact VLZ3 mixers.

“The engineers at Mackie VLZ3 802 and 402 have certainly done an amazing job of shoehorning all of the key features you’d expect to find in a large, high-end board into a sleek little package. I am also impressed that they’ve been able to do this at this low of a price point without compromising on quality."

He goes on to say...

"I am happy to award Mackie the 2008 'Studio Ready' award for their excellent work on the 802-VLZ3 and 402-VLZ3. Furthermore, it continues to demonstrate why GuitarGearHeads.com chooses Mackie as our official choice for mixers and consoles.�?

Now that’s something to hang on the fridge.

You may know by now that the new U.Series Production Mixers are turning more than a few heads. Innovative ergonomics and flexible routing create a unique experience that streamlines workflow and maximizes creativity. Delamar, a major German website that offers product reviews and in-depth training, was at MESSE '08 and created a video review of this excited new series. BTW, it's in German. Ich hoffe, Sie sprechen Deutsch. Enjoy!

Here's a link to the U.Series video review.
