The Onyx DNA, a Modern Classic
True to Mackie's philosophy, the Onyx 12 combines the warmth of an analog console with the flexibility of a modern recorder. The Perkins EQ, inspired by prestigious British desks from the 60s/70s, delivers broad and precise musicality, while the Onyx preamps ensure ample and quiet gain headroom.
For Stage, Home Studio, and Streaming
Whether you're mixing a concert, producing in a home studio, or streaming live, the Onyx 12 serves as a reliable audio hub. Its generous connectivity, Bluetooth for background music, and USB multitrack recording simplify both soundchecks and post-production.
