. . .comes a console to rule the audio world! Quite possibly the most popular recording console in human history, Mackie 8-Bus consoles have outsold every other mixer in their class! Mackie Designs' series of 32, 24 and 16-channel 8-Bus consoles have set new standards for console quality and high value. Put simply, Mackie's innovative engineering has made it possible to create affordable 8-Bus consoles with better headroom, less noise and more features than models costing twice as much. There are many 8-Bus consoles on the market today, including some that were directly inspired by the Mackie Designs 8-Bus series. If you attempt to compare them solely on the basis of features, you're missing an invisible but key difference: Sound quality. And that's where the 8-Bus Series distances itself from the competition. The Mackie 24/8 is the first affordable console that is being used on major-label album projects worldwide. If you're looking to upgrade from your limited-channel mixer the Mackie 24/8 8-Bus is likely to be the perfect mixer for you. Mackie 24/8 Features:

• 4-band EQ section, with high and low shelving EQ accompanied by sweepable low mid and fully parametric high mid.
• Stereo solo comes after the pan control.
• 6 aux sends (on four knobs) follow either main or monitor input.
• 'Flip' function, dictates which input shows up on the main channel fader.
• EQ split, applies the high and low shelving to the 'B' input while leaving the sweep and parametric EQ in the main channel path.
• EQ bypass and Low Cut functions, and a Direct Out is provided for each input strip.
• +48V Phantom Power switches in groups of eight inputs
• Output section has 10 LED meters covering the eight subgroups plus the stereo out.
• A tilting meter bridge w/ LED ladder per input and a stereo VU pair are optional
• Built-in talkback mic and complete control offered over 2 independent headphone systems
• 3 stereo effects returns ( can be used mono)
• Aux 1/2 can return to any subgroup as well as the L/R mix. Aux 3/4 feeds both the phones mixes and the L/R bus. Aux 5/6 goes to the mix. All three pairs can be solo'ed
