Independent shopping perspective
Mackie’s Onyx8 puts eight-channel analog mixing, USB recording, and Bluetooth into a compact mixer for home studios, live sound, and podcasting. Six mono channels, two stereo channels, and eight subgroups give you room to shape recording, PA, and monitor mixes with EQ, panning, and level control. The Onyx mic preamps offer 60 dB of gain, while two headphone outputs with separate source selection let two musicians monitor independently. Its all-steel chassis and 9 lb. weight suit mobile setups.
