Featuring a true analog monitoring path directly from the preamps to your studio monitors & headphones, you can track while listening in either mono or stereo to the direct analog source with zero routing. Not only that, it also means you can adjust your buffer settings to maximize your computer's processing ability.

Onyx Series USB Interfaces feature USB 2.0 connectivity for fast data transfer & minimum latency. Also being bus powered, your studio can be truly mobile - just plug into your laptop & you are ready to go, no external power required. Compatible with Mac (Core Audio) and PC (ASIO)
Built like a Tank
Since Mackie's early mullet-filled days circa 1989, we insisted that everything we make be able to take the abuse of modern musicians, & Onyx Series USB Interfaces are no exception. With a beautiful all metal enclosure, extended wear potentiometers and robust internal construction, these interfaces are in it for the long haul.
