Get to the venue. Get set up. Get playing.
Ideal for your busy day. Highly versatile with 8 channels, the Mix8 is the ideal for both stage and studio thanks to its premium-grade components and flexible design. It's great for working musicians or buskers. And if the sound is a great concern, enjoy studio-quality audio thanks to high headroom and low noise.
The input features pan, level and overload indication, as well as boasting built-in Phantom Power for use with studio condenser microphones. 2 stereo 1/4-inch line inputs are also included, ideal for processing and recording line-level instruments such as synthesizer, keyboards, sequencers and more.
Pure sound thanks to custom preamps
Feel confident in your sound. One of the most prominent features of the Mackie Mix8 is the custom, premium-grade microphone preamps for optimal audio fidelity. When used with a condenser microphone, the preamps shine through, providing high-headroom and low-noise performance for the best possible sound quality.
This allows you to capture every nuance of your source audio for studio-grade recordings. The line input comes complete with a 3-band EQ for precise sound shaping, allowing you to shape your tone for added control.
'Take anywhere' design - portable and powerful
Fits in your guitar bag! Not only is the mixer lightweight and rugged but its compact design makes it highly portable. This means you can take your mixer anywhere you go with ease, fitting easily within a backpack for convenience.
Dedicated stereo RCA inputs and outputs are included for playback or recording applications. A headphone output is included for private monitoring, as well as stereo control room outputs. The rugged metal chassis provides optimum reliability.
