The Onyx 1640i from Mackie is an 16-channel audio mixer with a built-in FireWire computer audio interface. It features a meticulously designed audio mixer section with flexible capabilities for both the studio and the stage. You can tap into the power of computer recording in new ways with its deep DAW integration. The fact that the 1640i is fully compatible with Pro Tools M-Powered 8 software really makes it a full-featured audio tool that can adapt to any situation.
Every channel on the 1640i features a 4-band dual sweep Perkins EQ , a boutique-quality Onyx mic preamp, and 6 aux sends with pre, post, and solo modes. There are 4 sub groups and a full-featured master section. Every one of these channels (including the aux sends, sub groups, and master) can be routed through the FireWire interface into the DAW of your choice. The 16040i also has the exclusive ability to route 16 channels out of your DAW back through the channels in the mixer for an old school, tape-style mix down.
