Mackie is a leader in many categories, the small format mixer being among the foremost. The Mix5 represents Mackie's current 5-channel option in the inexpensive, low-profile mixer marketplace, and like all of their small format mixers from the past, the Mix5 is a winner. Perfect for straightforward applications that incorporate a single mic with other sources, Mix5 sounds great and maintains audio quality from any source. It features Mackie's signature "built like a tank" construction care of its rugged metal chassis, and four of Mackie's legendary preamps. Other features include: 1 mic/line input with studio-level audio quality 2-band EQ with clean, precise tone shaping Phantom power for studio condenser mics 2 stereo 1/4" line inputs Dedicated stereo RCA inputs/outputs for playback or recording Main L/R outputs Headphone output with separate volume control Rugged, reliable design built to last Extremely compact and portable
