The Mackie ONYX 1640 mixer is designed to bring premium analog sound, expanded features, and streaming FireWire connectivity to both recording and live sound environments. Eight Mackie Onyx Mic Preamps surpass expensive esoteric standalone mic pres in terms of fidelity, headroom and transparency - as well as improved radio frequency (RFI) rejection and wider dynamic range. Perkins EQ circuitry a "neo classic" 4-band design based on classic "British EQ" circuitry from mixing desks of the '60s and '70s, delivers that sweet "British console" sound, but with greater filter control and minimum phase shift. Other features include individual 48v phantom power and balanced direct outputs on every channel, a full Auxiliary section with Pre/Post control, a Talkback section with a convenient built-in mic and a "Planet Earth" switching power supply for worldwide use. There is 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.
