Mackie Preamp Doubles as Audio Interface! It's a mic pre! It's a FireWire interface! The Mackie Onyx 400F is all that and more! Mackie has developed a great way for you to add four premium mic preamps to your computer audio setup, hard disk recorder or analog rig! The Onyx 400F is a high-performance 4-channel rackmount mic preamp with simultaneous analog and 192kHz multi-format digital outputs. Mackie Onyx 400F Mic Preamp/Audio Interface at a Glance: Ideal mic pre or front end for computer audio Four channels of fantastic-sounding Onyx preamps 24-Bit/192kHz digital output Versatile 10 x 10 DSP mixer Instrument inputs plus all the control and I/O you need Ideal mic pre or front end for computer audio There are plenty of FireWire audio interfaces on the market today. But only the Onyx 400F Studio Recording Preamp was jointly designed by the analog engineering experts at Mackie and the digital gurus at Echo Digital Audio. This means the Onyx 400F performs equally well as a high-performance studio mic preamp and a superb 192kHz FireWire interface. Four channels of fantastic-sounding preamps The Onyx 400F is equipped with four of Mackie's flagship Onyx mic preamps - which meet or surpass the fidelity and dynamic range of ultra-expensive one- or two-channel models, but at a much more reasonable cost. And how does it sound? Onyx preamps are clear and extremely detailed, with a full-spectrum sound that's absolutely faithful to whatever microphone you're using. The mic preamps offer 48-volt phantom power for condenser mics. Balanced TRS inserts on inputs 1 and 2 allow for inserting compression, EQ, or other external processors. 24-Bit/192kHz digital output The Onyx 400F allows you to choose up to a 192kHz sample rate, or use an external clock from the rear panel. The next-generation AKM 24-bit/192kHz A/D and D/A converters offer dynamic range and clarity that was previously only found on much more expensive gear. Plus, the Onyx 400F can sync to external Word Clock, so it easily fits into your existing digital studio. The dual FireWire ports make it easy to daisy-chain the Onyx 400F to hard drives and other FireWire equipment. Versatile 10 x 10 DSP mixer With the Onyx 400F's 10 x 10 matrix mixer, you can connect any input to any output with near-zero latency. Powerful internal DSP provides custom Control Room/Headphone mixes, and Control Room and Dual Headphone Outputs have independent level controls. Instrument inputs plus all the control and I/O you need Because Mackie engineers can never leave well enough alone, the Onyx 400F features two high-impedance instrument inputs so you can connect an acoustic, electric, or bass guitar directly to the preamp, eliminating the need for an external direct box. Front-panel controls on the Onyx 400F include control-room output level, dual independent headphone outputs with dedicated level control, dual instrument inputs, and four-segment metering for the mic inputs. The rear panel includes four combo mic/line inputs, balanced TRS sends and returns for the four mic inputs, four line inputs, eight line outputs, Control Room outputs, Word Clock I/O, MIDI I/O, SPDIF I/O and two FireWire ports. The Mackie Onyx 400F comes complete with a bundled copy of Mackie's own Tracktion, the simplest professional audio/MIDI production and CD mastering software in the world. Add it all up - Onyx preamps for premium sound, 192kHz digital converters, near-zero latency monitoring, 10 x 10 matrix mixer - and the Onyx 400F makes perfect sense for any studio! Mackie ONYX 400F Mic Preamp/Audio Interface Features: Premium FireWire-based studio recording preamp/audio interface 4 flagship Onyx mic preamps with unrivaled fidelity and dynamic range 4 additional balanced line inputs; 8 balanced line outputs Superb next-generation AKM 24-bit/192kHz A/D and D/A converters 10 x 10 DSP Matrix Mixer: connect any input to any output at near-zero latency Powerful internal DSP provides custom Control Room/Headphone mixes Balanced TRS inserts on the four mic Inputs allow for inserting compression, EQ and more Control Room and Dual Headphone Outputs with independent level controls Dual FireWire ports for daisy chaining and direct connection to Mac or PC MIDI Word Clock and S/PDIF I/O Includes Tracktion 2 Audio/MIDI production software True 48-volt phantom power for use with microphones The Mackie Onyx 400F Mic Preamp/Audio Interface is a clear winner for your studio!
