collapse expand iconDescription

The Mackie Onyx24 24-channel premium analog mixer with USB is the pinnacle of compact mixing solutions. Featuring high-definition 24-bit/96kHz multi-track recording via USB or SD card, 18 award-winning Onyx low-noise mic preamps, the Onyx24 delivers professional-caliber sound for live gigs or studio sessions. The feature-packed mixer offers powerful DSP effects, 3-band "British Style" EQ and integrated recording/playback from SD cards—everything you need to capture and shape your best takes with stunning fidelity.

Premium Onyx Preamps Provide Pristine Gain

The Onyx24 mixer's 18 high-gain mic preamps, based on Mackie's coveted Onyx design, offer exceptional headroom, transparency and dynamic range. Their ultralow noise floor and wide frequency response capture every nuance of vocals, drums and acoustic instruments with flawless accuracy. Each preamp provides 48V of phantom power and a 100Hz low-cut filter, allowing you to optimize gain for any mic or input.

Shape Your Sound With Perkins EQ and DSP FX

Mackie equipped the Onyx24 mixer with 3-band Perkins EQ on each channel for intuitive tonal balancing. The EQ's tight Q and hard bypass allow you to make precise cuts or boosts, or bypass the EQ altogether. The mixer also provides a palette of 24 studio-grade DSP effects like reverbs, delays, choruses, and compressors that you can assign to groups, AUXes or the main mix. Tweak and save your own custom effect presets for instant recall during any performance or session.

Record and Play Back with Ease

The Onyx24 mixer makes recording, overdubbing and playback extraordinarily simple. Connect to your Mac or PC via USB 2.0 to capture all 24 input channels at up to 96kHz resolution. An SD card slot allows you to record and play back directly from the mixer. Dedicated transport controls put record, play, pause, previous and next right at your fingertips. You can also stream program audio or backing tracks wirelessly over Bluetooth for cable-free convenience during live shows or practice.

Intuitive Interface and Rugged Design

Despite its power and flexibility, the Onyx24 mixer is remarkably easy to operate thanks to its logical, single-knob-per-function layout and full-color display. The mixer's rugged chassis, impact-resistant knobs and premium components are built to handle the demands of any venue or environment with complete reliability.
