The Onyx 1620 incorporates the latest advances in Mackie technologies like low-noise microphone preamps and circuitry, durability, plenty of direct instrument inputs, and combines them into a modern footprint that includes a FireWire option for integration into any computer-based system. The entire Onyx family derives its name from the inclusion of Mackieas Onyx mic pre--the next generation in low-noise microphone preamp circuitry based on the XDR mic pre found in Mackieas compact mixers. They also feature an all-new EQ circuit, developed especially for the Onyx line by industry veteran Cal Perkins, and a new industrial design and layout.

Product Description
The Onyx 1220, 1620 and 1640 start with all-new premium analog circuitry, setting new standards for high-headroom, low-noise operation. Next up are Mackie?s new Onyx mic preamps, which meet or surpass expensive esoteric standalone mic preamps in terms of fidelity and transparency. Then there?s the completely new Perkins EQ circuitry, a ?neo classic? 3- and 4-band design which gives you the sweet musicality of British EQ with greater filter control and minimum phase shift (plus a true hardware EQ bypass). And all this analog innovation is rounded out by a new Aux section w/ individual Pre/Post control, plus a new Talkback section with built-in mic for easy studio communication. Built for the digital era. In addition to balanced direct outputs on every channel via dual DB-25 connectors (a first for any small-format analog mixer), you can outfit each Onyx mixer with an optional FireWire I/O card, which lets you stream either 12 or 16 independent channels of 24-bit/96k audio, plus a stereo mix, directly to your Mac or PC. You can also monitor a stereo mix via FireWire from your computer, making the Onyx Series mixers superb audio interfaces to your digital world... or any other world you plan to rule.

I'm in love with my new Onyx 1620. Excellent sound, warm and sturdy. The Perkins EQs are exceptional and there's plenty of routing options for my set up. I produce house music/remixes and the mixer more than serves its purpose. But, this is Mackie - one of the best. How could you expect anything less.
