WOULDN’T YOU RATHER MIX ON A MACKIE?
Mackie has brought professional-level compact mixers to the masses since we debuted the LM-1602 in 1988. The Mix8 is an 8-channel mixer that expands on our heritage of designing great gear that isn’t unattainable for real working musicians and content creators. Featuring our low-noise preamps, a 3-band EQ and aux sends for each channel, an RCA I/O path for recording and separate volume controls for headphones and the main monitor, the Mix8 is a versatile workhorse for creators who need more control over their audio.
