ONYX 800R Analog Mic Pre Amp description:
The Mackie ONYX 800R Analog Mic Pre Amp With 192Khz Digital Option. Eight-channel 1U rackmount mic preamp featuring Mackie's flagship Onyx preamps.
The Mackie ONYX 800R is an ideal option for those looking to add eight stellar-sounding mic preamps to their computer audio setup, hard disk recorder or analog rig. The Onyx 800R is a high-performance, eight-channel rackmount mic preamp with simultaneous analog and 192kHz multi-format digital outputs. Built upon Mackie's flagship Onyx mic preamp circuitry, the Onyx 800R delivers boutique studio preamp performance with features such as variable mic input impedance controls for "tuning" each preamp to its connected mic. Channels seven and eight feature high-impedance instrument inputs so you can connect an acoustic, electric, or bass guitar directly to the mic preamp, eliminating the need for an external direct box. Each channel also has a mic/line switch, a polarity reverse switch, individual 48v phantom power switch, low-cut filter switch, and a gain control. Featured on the rear panel are individual XLR balanced mic input connectors for each channel, and balanced line inputs on a DB25 connector. Analog balanced line outputs are also provided on a DB25 connector. The Onyx 800R has a sample rate selector that allows you to choose 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, or 192kHz sample rates, or an external clock from the rear panel. You can also select between 24-bit or 16-bit dithered word lengths at the digital outputs. Digital outputs are provided on two optical TOSlink connectors using the ADAT lightpipe digital audio format, situated on the rear panel. AES/EBU or S/PDIF formats are available on a DB25 connector, with selection buttons for impedance, pro or consumer status bits, and single-wire (two-channel) or dual-wire (single-channel) operation. With its superior analog components and premium A/D converters, the Onyx 800R has unrivaled fidelity and dynamic range, making it a top choice for a range of professional studio and live applications.
