Make This Mackie Interface Your Recording Rig's Nerve Center!

Put Mackie quality right into your DAW rig! The 16 x 16 Onyx Blackbird FireWire interface makes it happen, thanks to eight premium Onyx preamps, 24-bit/96kHz AD/DA quality, a built-in DSP matrix mixer, and even a dedicated instrument DI. The Onyx Blackbird has two of its inputs right on the front panel, so you can quickly and easily access it when you get those bursts of inspiration. You'll love all the little details that add up to a major recording experience. Inserts let you patch in outboard gear. Dual headphone outputs each have their own level controls and source selectors. You get ADAT outputs and an onboard word clock. The rackmountable Onyx Blackbird even comes complete with Tracktion 3 music software!
