The Mackie ONYX 2480 24-Channel/8-bus Live Sound Console. Superb, affordable, premium 8-bus live sound console, loaded with features and 24 Onyx mic preamps.

The Mackie ONYX 2480 has superb sound quality, flexible routing, premium Onyx mic preamps and Perkins EQ circuitry. When it comes to live sound, the margin for error is tight. Nobody knows this better than regional sound professionals, medium-sized venues, and houses of worship. Unlike the major touring and live sound companies, these hardy folks must make a difficult choice when buying a live sound console; it’s the age-old trade off between channel count and sound quality. Pay for quality, and you have to find some way to cram all your mics and instruments into 16 or fewer inputs. Go for the cheap options, and you know it’s only a matter of when - not if - the console fails at some crucial moment. As of today, that age-old trade off has gone the way of grunge and dial-up modems. Introducing the Mackie Onyx 80 Series 2480, Premium Live Sound Console, possibly the best value in the history of live sound, from Mackie, of course.
