Mackie Onyx 32.4 Premium 32-Channel Analog Live Sound Mixing Console

The new standard in mid format live sound consoles.


The Mackie Onyx 32.4 live sound mixing console
upgrades the performance and functionality of the legendary Mackie
SR32•4 while retaining its convenient 32-channel footprint.

The
greatly enhanced Onyx feature set includes 100mm Panasonic faders,
all-new mic preamps, completely redesigned analog circuitry, Perkins EQ,
and a built in assignable stereo compressor/limiter section - all at a
price that won't break the bank.

The Mackie Onyx 32.4's all-new design for superior sound
In
developing the Onyx 32.4, Mackie's team of analog engineers used the
highest-quality components available - from premium op-amps to IC chips
costing exponentially more than those used in previous designs. All-new
summing bus circuitry was designed from the ground up to maximize
headroom, and the entire signal chain was electronically balanced from
input to output, offering big, full-range sound and lower noise than any
audio mixer in it's class. Most significantly, premium Onyx mic
preamps, Perkins EQ circuitry, and a new THAT Corporation 4301
assignable stereo compressor/limiter chip were custom tailored
specifically for the Mackie Onyx 32.4 mixing console.

Boutique quality preamps
Although
Mackie's previous-generation XDR mic preamps set new standards for both
quality and performance, the next-generation Onyx mic preamps offer
even greater fidelity, headroom and transparency - as well as better
radio frequency (RFI) rejection and wider dynamic range than ever
before. With specs like 123dB total dynamic range, -129.5 dBm equivalent
input noise, and 0.0007% total harmonic distortion, Onyx preamps can
easily hold their own against boutique standalone preamps.

Perkins EQ: "British" sound with greater filter control
Mackie
enlisted veteran audio engineer Cal Perkins to develop the EQ circuitry
for the Onyx 32.4 Analog Mixer. Perkins EQ circuitry takes the classic
Wein Bridge circuit topology used in British mixing desks of the '60s
and '70s and gives it greater filter and phase shift control. The end
result is a very effective and extremely musical 4-band EQ with
sweepable low- and high-mids - perfect for the throes of live sound
mixing.

Assignable onboard stereo compressor/limiter section
Sound
engineers have long used master compressor/limiters to smooth out live
sound mixes, maximizing the performance of any sound system. Mackie
integrated a high-quality master compressor/limiter chip from THAT
Corporation into the Onyx 32.4 32-channel mixer. This assignable analog
stereo compressor/limiter chip was designed and manufactured in the US
by veteran analog engineers, offering true RMS detection and auto
make-up gain for extremely accurate and musical results. It features
independent Threshold, Ratio and Fast/Slow Attack controls, and can be
assigned post-fader to the L/R main mix (for system limiting and
protection) or pre-fader to Group 1/2 or 3/4 outputs (for grouped signal
compression, like drums or background vocals). This reduces the hassle
and expense of separate outboard processing.

Master section
If
total control over signal routing, talk back/monitor mixing, and
external effects processing is what you seek, then look no further - the
Onyx 4-Bus Series Master section has everything you've come to expect
from a Mackie mixing console and more. The onboard 6 x 2 Matrix Mixer is
the solution to the "not-enough monitor send" blues. Not only can you
use the Aux Sends to generate up to 6 monitor mixes, but the Matrix
Mixer can be used to generate 2 additional independent mixes—ideal for
IEM (in-ear monitor) systems, cry rooms, green rooms or other zoned
outputs. Visual monitoring of Solo, Main output and compression/limiting
is expertly handled via 4, giant 12-segment LED ladders. And even the
Sub Groups feature 4-segment LEDs, so you know what signal levels are at
glance.
