Compact enough for both home use and the traveling engineer, the Onyx16 combines 24-bit/96kHz multitrack recording with high-gain preamps and a low-noise design to meet the uncompromising demands of professionals everywhere.

Twelve award-winning mic preamps offer an impressive 60dB of gain, and the top-notch analog circuitry works exceptionally well when aiming for a professional product. Taking inspiration from veteran Mackie engineer Cal Perkins, the Onyx16’s Perkins EQ offers a wider, highly musical Q filter, with a sweepable midrange producing classic sounds reminiscent of the 1960s and ’70s. Plus, this powerful mixer’s digital effects engine offers a wide variety of enhancements, with user-customizable reverbs, delays, and more at your disposal.

Its stellar effects processor can handle everything from massive performances to studio recordings, live streams, and more, with adjustable parameters and a dedicated EQ making it easy to dial in that perfect sound.

Great mixer

Faders feel good, solid construction and it's clean and quiet. I love the multitrack function and especially the SD card. Great price for such a powerful board.
Rated 5/5

Does it’s job

I think Mackie did a great job with the right features for this board. The layout of each channel is great. 2 Aux's, Red Mute buttons (nice). Works perfect in my studio. All of this would be moot if the sound quality weren't there and it sounds great.

First Impressions

Just got this today, after waiting, what, almost two years since the announcement? Sure, we had the pandemic and all, but that's a long time by any measure. So, was it worth the wait? Well, my first impressions are that it most certainly was. I'd been using the Presonus variant of this configuration for a while, but that proved unreliable with extreme prejudice. I've always been a fan of Mackie mixers, going back to the original 1604, and I use a number of them regularly, in the studio and the field. This one, though, is by far the best. It's easy to use, but what matters most is the sound - and that, my friends, is absolutely glorious! The Onyx16 sounds open and transparent, preserving every detail of what goes in. I'm not easily impressed, but, so far, I am impressed indeed. Time will tell how good this mixer is with production work, but I really can't wait to get started. Wait - I already have!

Second Aux Send/Return

Would have liked an additional aux send that many of the Mackie mixers have had in previous models.
Otherwise this mixer is everything you would expect from Mackie. Excellent build, powerful and quiet mic preamps, smooth faders and knobs.
Rated 4/5

Great Unit

I was very pleased with the investment, good clean output. My scope of use hasn't touched all the features, I used it for karaoke and was very pleased with the tone shaping. The Bluetooth is a great touch as well. My only complaint is the goofy effects knob. It is rotates with indents but doesn't reliably change the setting with each indent. If you push the knob to select something it sometimes prompts an unintentional turn. Makes it kind of clumsy if you were messing with it during a live event.
