Starting from scratch...
At Mackie, our expertise designing great sounding, ultra-reliable compact mixers goes without saying. We practically built this company on
the shoulders of our hallmark blue and red knobs, legendary XDR preamps and VLZ circuitry. So why develop a whole new small-format analog
mixer line from scratch? Call us crazy, but we felt it was time.
High-performance analog mixers for the digital era.
 The
goal for the Onyx Series was no short order: small-format analog mixers with more useful features, better sound quality, advanced tonal shaping
and full FireWire connectivity options. To accomplish all this, we assembled a hybrid engineering team led by famed analog engineer Cal Perkins
and digital guru Chris Jubien. We also couldn’t keep Greg Mackie from adding things as we went along (like 4-segment LED metering on
every channel). Two years and almost nine thousand cups of coffee later, we had our flagship Onyx Series.
Delivering the premium goods.
 The Onyx 1220, 1620 and 1640 start with Mackie’s new Onyx mic preamps, which meet or surpass
any standalone mic preamp on the market in terms of pure fidelity and head-room (and yes, we have the specs to prove it). Next up is our completely
new Perkins EQ circuitry, a “neo classic” 3- and 4-band design which gives you the sweet musicality of British EQ with greater filter
control and minimum phase shift (plus a true hardware EQ bypass). This analog brilliance is paired with a full-featured discrete Auxiliary
section, a completely redesigned mix bus and summing amp section, and a built-in Talkback section with onboard mic. (Because Mackie mixers
are still made for the real world of mixing, not just audio testing equipment.)

The Simplicity of Analog. 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 analog mixers and a
Mac or PC, giving musicians and engineers a great-sounding and very efficient way to go from analog to digital--without the need for
separate converter boxes or interfaces.
