Description

The Onyx 1620i features eight full mono mic/line channels (each with 4-band dual sweep Perkins EQ), four stereo channels (each with 3-band Perkins EQ), four aux sends on all channels with pre/post capability and a powerful master section.
The Onyx 1620i is equipped with 16×2 FireWire capability, allowing all channels, aux sends and main L/R to be routed to any desired DAW, including Pro Tools 9 and M-PoweredTM 8. The FireWire output from the computer may be brought back straight into a channel strip for easy mix integration. FireWire aggregation allows multiple Onyx 1620i mixers to be connected.
Each mono channel has an Onyx mic preamp, phantom power, an input Gain control with 60 dB of gain, a sharp 18 dB/octave, 75 Hz Low Cut lter, Pan, Mute, Solo, a 60mm fader and a Channel Insert jack for connecting an external processor.
There are built-in DIs on the rst two channels for direct connection of guitars or bass and a dedicated talkback section for easy communication with band members on stage or during recording sessions.
Other features include a stereo tape input and output, a 1/4-inch stereo headphone jack, stereo 12-segment LED meters and XLR and TRS stereo output jacks. The Control Room/Phones section has its own level control, outputs and input matrix for selecting any combination of Main Mix, Tape In and Alt 3-4.
Despite its large channel count, the Onyx 1620i is compact and rack mountable. Plus, its a Mackie which means it is Built-Like-A-Tank and will survive years of abuse.
