Perkins Equalizer

The Mackie Onyx8 features an enhanced 3-band "British Style" Perkins equalizer, based on the same circuit used in classic mixing consoles from the 60s and 70s. This version, designed by Mackie, offers greater filter control, minimal phase shift, and allows for the identification of specific frequency ranges.

To create the Perkins equalizer, Cal Perkins started from the Wien Bridge circuit topology, inspired by the revered "British" consoles of the 60s and 70s. This design essentially replaces the boost/cut capability with a broader and highly musical Q filter. After a tedious mathematical process, Cal was able to specify capacitor and resistor values that would give the equalizer an additional 6 dB of control (±15 dB) without excessively reducing the "Q" or the bandwidth of the filters. It’s what we call a win-win situation.

24-bit/96 kHz Multitrack Recording

Who says you can’t multitrack record from the comfort of home or the back of a tour bus? High-resolution multitrack recording with resolutions up to 24 bits/96 kHz is possible in home studios or on tour with the Mackie Onyx8. Connect your Onyx mixer to your Mac or PC via USB or insert an SD card to record and playback with low latency.

QuickGrip Side Handles

The robust design of our QuickGrip side handles makes the Mackie Onyx8 the ideal travel companion for musicians, content creators, and mobile DJs. Its steel chassis and sealed rotary controls will protect your investment wherever you go. That’s why we call it "built like a tank."

Built-in Effects

The more plugins, the better, right? Unleash your creativity and customize your sound with professional built-in effects. The high-resolution professional effects processor gives you unlimited control over a robust collection of unique digital effects, including a dedicated equalizer to perfect your mix.

Studio Command

There’s nothing like feeling in control of your workstation. The Mackie Onyx8 features powerful full-color LCD screens with dedicated physical transport controls. Apply effects and recall up to six customizable presets through an intuitive single-knob interface. Record a stereo mix, browse files, and play music directly from/to an SD card, all through Studio Command.

Bluetooth Streaming

Bluetooth is an innovation in an analog mixer. Pair a compatible device via Bluetooth to stream audio through the auxiliary sends or the main mix. Bluetooth compatibility allows you to compare reference tracks of the mix or play background music whenever you need it.

A Light in the Dark

The Onyx series mixers feature bright, easy-to-read buttons that shine in the darkest places so you always know what’s happening with your mix. Plus, the full-color Studio Command screen makes it easy to adjust effects and record/playback from SD cards.
