Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Mackie’s Onyx16 combines a 16-channel analog mixing layout with multitrack USB recording at up to 24-bit/96 kHz. Its 12 Onyx mic preamps provide up to 60 dB of gain, with channel-by-channel 100 Hz low-cut filtering and 48V phantom power. During a live set or recording session, DSP effects and four saved presets keep preferred processing close at hand. SD-card recording and playback, Bluetooth playback, and flexible analog/USB routing extend the mixer’s role beyond the main mix.
Strong match
Who this is for
