Mackie Onyx8 Description

The Mackie Onyx8 elevates the analog mixing experience with pristine audio quality and advanced features for modern creators. At its core are four award-winning Onyx mic preamps offering up to 60 dB of gain and ultra-low noise, ensuring professional clarity for vocals, instruments, and live mics. Every channel features a musical 3-band Perkins EQ modeled after legendary British consoles of the '60s and '70s, giving your mix warmth and punch with precision control. Whether in a studio or a mobile rig, the Onyx8’s analog circuitry blends beautifully with digital enhancements. Record multitrack sessions directly to Mac or PC via USB, or skip the computer altogether and use the built-in SD recorder to capture stereo mixes at up to 96kHz. The Studio Command interface features a full-color LCD for easy effect control, file browsing, playback, and onboard preset management. Bluetooth streaming adds wireless versatility—stream backing tracks, reference mixes, or ambient music directly to your aux or main outputs. Custom FX are editable with multi-parameter controls, and the Onyx8 includes the Waveform OEM™ DAW and DAW Essentials FX plugin bundle to round out your hybrid studio setup. Built-Like-A-Tank™ with a steel chassis and QuickGrip handles, the Onyx8 is made to move and built to perform anywhere.
