Get Hands-on Control over Your DAW!
The Mackie Control Universal Pro control surface completes your music production software to give you ultimate hands-on control of your mix. Nine motorized, touch-sensitive Penny + Giles faders, eight V-Pots and more than 50 master buttons let you tweak parameters to your heart's content. Unlike generic MIDI controllers, the MCU Pro employs a sophisticated communication protocol that delivers ultra-precise control, makes setup easy - no mapping required - and enables you to see your mix in action with real-time visual feedback via the huge backlit LCD and eight LED rings.

The same fader set is also featured on the seamlessly-integrated Mackie Control Extender Pro and expansion module, which also shares the same channel strip functions.
Proprietary Mackie communication protocol for seamless music production software integration
Mackie's proprietary communication protocol lets you get the most out of your software, giving you precise control over setups and control surface assignments - no mapping required!

And the backlit LCD screen lets you easily monitor your mixes in real time.

"The Mackie Control Universal Pro gives you eight faders plus a master fader that all feel great. In addition to that you get eight knobs, a jog wheel, transport controls, and a ton of buttons for controlling the majority of functions in your DAW. The display is crystal clear and makes it very easy and comfortable to get away from your computer monitor. The MCU Pro really makes you feel like you're mixing a record and not programming a computer. "
