PRISTINE AUDIO AND UNRIVALED VERSATILITY
Whether you’re in the studio or hitting the big stage, you need a highly capable mixer on your side. Every detail of the Mackie Onyx24 is geared towards recording at a professional level, from our award-winning Onyx preamps to the Perkins “British Style” EQs inspired by classic desks from the ‘60s and ‘70s.
Onyx Mic Preamps
The Mackie Onyx24 features 18 low-noise microphone preamps with 60dB of clean gain. Combined with sophisticated analog circuitry, you’ll get rich sound for studio production, theatre and house of worship.
Perkins EQ
Onyx24 mixers feature an enhanced 3-Band “British Style” EQ based on the same circuit used on classic mixing consoles from the ‘60s and ‘70s. This version designed by Mackie has greater filter control, minimum phase shift and allows you to pinpoint specific frequency ranges.
To create the Perkins EQ, Cal Perkins started with the Wien Bridge circuit topology inspired by the hallowed “British” desks of the ‘60s and ‘70s. This design essentially trades boost/cut capability for a wider, highly musical Q filter. After a mind-numbing amount of math, Cal was able to specify capacitor and resistor values that would give the EQ an extra 6dB of control (±15 dB) without excessively narrowing the “Q” or bandwidth of the filters. It's what we call a win-win
24-Bit / 96kHz Multitrack Recording
Working on an album? Have a big video project on the horizon? Get high-resolution multitrack recording through your DAW. Connect your Mackie Onyx24 mixer to Mac or PC via USB to record at resolutions up to 24-Bit / 96kHz. To keep it simple, you also have the option of recording a full stereo mix straight to an SD card.
QuickGrip Side Handles
A 24-channel mixer can be pretty hefty, but rugged QuickGrip side handles make it easy to carry your mixer between gigs. Mackie Onyx24 mixers are road-ready and built to last, thanks to the heavy-duty steel chassis and sealed rotary knobs.
Built-in FX
The more plugins the better, right? Get creative and customize your sound with professional built-in effects. The professional high-resolution FX processor gives you limitless control over a robust collection of unique digital effects, including a dedicated equalizer to shape your mix to perfection.
Studio Command
There’s nothing like feeling in control of your workstation. Mackie Onyx24 mixers feature powerful full-color LCDs with dedicated physical transport controls. Apply FX and recall up to six customizable presets using an intuitive single-knob interface. Record a stereo mix, browse files and play music direct to/from an SD card, all via Studio Command.
Bluetooth Streaming
Bluetooth is a gamechanger on an analog mixer. Pair a compatible device via Bluetooth to stream audio through aux sends or the main mix. Bluetooth compatibility allows you to compare mix reference tracks or play background music when you need it.
A Light in the Dark
We know the struggle—nobody likes squinting at a mixing board when the lighting is dim. Mackie Onyx24 mixers are equipped with vibrant buttons and full color display for improved visibility, even in the darkest venues. On top of that, the backlit Mute and Solo buttons provide clear visibility so you’ll always know what’s going on in the mix.
