Perkins EQ - the "British" sound improved
The goal for the Onyx 3280 was no short order: a large format analog mixer with more useful features, better sound quality and advanced tonal shaping. To accomplish this Mackie employed their new Perkins EQ circuitry, a "neo classic" 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).
