Mackie® Onyx-i and Waves® MultiRack Offer Modern Live Sound Solution

Las Vegas, NV, InfoComm - June 9, 2010 – Mackie’s Onyx 1640i is the ideal mixer to use with Wave’s powerful new MultiRack live plug-in platform. The Onyx 1640i features a built-in 16x16 FireWire interface, providing optimum integration with MultiRack by allowing each and every channel to host its own suite of in-line plug-ins.

“The number one reason that people make the jump to compact digital consoles is the additional DSP,” remarked Mackie product manager, James Woodburn. “The potent combination of Onyx-i and MultiRack delivers the ultimate in performance, combining all the benefits of a hands-on analog mixer with the proven quality of Waves signal processing.”

WavesLive MultiRack is the first software host that gives FOH and Monitor engineers the power of Waves plug-ins, widely recognized as world class, with performance equal to (or sometimes surpassing) that of the analog hardware equivalent.
