Mackie Onyx 32.4 Live Sound Mixer

The Mackie Onyx 32.4 32-channel / 4-bus live sound console brings dozens of features and enhancements to the party: 100mm Panasonic faders, premium Onyx mic preamps, completely redesigned analog circuitry with more headroom, greater routing flexibility, new Perkins EQ, and a built-in assignable stereo compressor/limiter.

The Mackie Onyx 32.4 comes with premium Onyx mic preamps on every channel, which offer greater dynamic range and transparency versus any other mixer mic preamp on the market. Newly designed 4-band Perkins EQ offers the sweet, musical sound of the legendary British consoles of yesteryear, yet with greater filter control.

The Onyx 32.4 offers an onboard THAT Corporation 4301 assignable stereocompressor/limiter, custom tailored specifically for the Onyx 4-bus Series. Controls are provided for Threshold, Ratio and Fast/Slow Attack, and the compressor can be assigned post-fader to the L/R main mix (for system limiting and speaker protection) or pre-fader to Group 1/2 or 3/4 outputs (for grouped signal compression, like drums or background vocals). This reduces the need for separate outboard processing.

Overall mixer sound quality and headroom has also been raised, thanks to the use of premium components, completely redesigned summing bus circuitry, and an electronically balanced design throughout the entire signal chain. Taken together, the Onyx 32.4 gives you big, full-range sound and even lower noise than esoteric mixing consoles costing much more.
