Description

Details

Building on the success of our legendary SR32•4 mixing console, Mackie is proud to introduce the new Onyx 32.4 32-channel / 4-bus live sound console. While retaining the same convenient footprint as its predecessor, the state-of-the-art Onyx 32.4 brings dozens of new features and enhancements to the table: 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.

And we're barely scratching the surface. The Mackie Onyx 32.4 leaves the competition in the dust when it comes to sound quality. The difference starts 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 32.4 is not the first mid-format console to offer an onboard compressor/limiter, we specified a THAT® Corporation 4301 assignable stereo compressor/limiter, and then had it custom tailored specifically for the Onyx 4-bus Series. Onyx 32.4 gives you big, full-range sound and even lower noise than esoteric mixing consoles costing much more.

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. Compression is an indispensable tool in a sound engineer's arsenal. That's why we integrated a high-quality master compressor/limiter chip from THAT® Corporation into the Onyx 32.4. This assignable compressor/limiter is perfect for tightening up vocal harmony and balancing drum kits. Controls are provided for Threshold, Ratio and Fast/Slow Attack.
