Premium Onyx Preamps Plus FireWire Digital Option!
At Mackie, their expertise designing great sounding, ultra-reliable compact mixers goes without saying. They practically built their company on the shoulders of hallmark blue and red knobs, legendary XDR preamps, and VLZ circuitry. So why develop the Onyx 1620, part of a whole new small-format analog mixer line from scratch? To add more features, even better EQ, and FireWire!

Mackie Onyx 1620 Mixer at a Glance:
  • High-performance analog mixer with a digital future!
  • Eight stellar Onyx preamps with clear lows and airy highs
  • New Perkins "neo-British" EQ with wide gain control
  • Optional FireWire card for connection to your DAW

High-performance analog mixers for the digital era
The goal for the Onyx 1620 was no short order: to create a small-format analog mixer with more useful features, better sound quality, advanced tonal shaping, and full FireWire connectivity options. To accomplish all this, Mackie assembled a hybrid engineering team led by famed analog engineer Cal Perkins and digital guru Chris Jubien. They also couldn't keep Greg Mackie from adding things as they went along (like 4-segment LED metering on every channel). Two years and almost 9000 cups of coffee later, they've released the flagship Onyx Series.

Delivering the premium goods
The Onyx 1620 starts with eight of Mackie's Onyx mic preamps, which meet or surpass just about any standalone mic preamp on the market in terms of pure fidelity and headroom (and yes, there are specs to prove it). Next up is the completely new Perkins EQ circuitry, a "neo-classic" 4-band design that gives you the sweet musicality of British EQ with greater filter control and minimum phase shift (plus a true hardware EQ bypass). This analog brilliance is paired with a full-featured discrete Auxiliary section, a completely redesigned mix bus and summing amp section, and a built-in Talkback section with onboard mic.

The simplicity of analog, the convenience of digital
The Onyx FireWire I/O Card is a true first. This 24-bit/96k card bridges the gap between Mackie's flagship Onyx analog mixers and a Mac or PC, giving musicians and engineers a great-sounding and very efficient way to go from analog to digital - without the need for separate converter boxes or interfaces.


Mackie Onyx 1620 Mixer Features:
  • Premium 16-channel small-format analog mixer with all-new circuitry
  • Eight new ONYX mic preamps with sound comparable to boutique preamps
  • New 4-band Perkins EQ with dual sweepable midrange controls provides warmer, more musical sound
  • 96k FireWire option for streaming 16 independent channels of audio to computer with zero latency input monitoring through mixer
  • Two channels of monitoring from computer via FireWire option card
  • Four Aux sends w/ Pre/Post switches
  • Four stereo line-level inputs
  • Built-in Talkback section for use with internal or external mic
  • True hardware EQ Bypass
  • "Planet-Earth" power supply
  • Individual 48-volt phantom power switches on all mic inputs

The Mackie Onyx 1620 is a great leap forward in quality and sound!

“I've had this for a week and I've been impressed on every level. I got the firewire interface and it was amazingly easy to setup and it worked perfectly with my DAW (Sonar on WinXP) with no hassles or problems. The feature set is totally optimized. I use it to run the PA for rehearsal as well as recording. I use pretty much every feature and there's really nothing I need that it can't do. Oh...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "I just bought a 1620 mixer for my band and it sounds great, both live and in my studio! Mackie revolutionized the industry by bringing an affordable, good sounding mixer into the market many years ago. They have raised the bar again with the new 1620."
