Mackie 8-Bus consoles have outsold every other mixer in their class. Mackie Designs' series of 32, 24 and 16-channel 8-Bus consoles have set standards for console quality and high value. Put simply, Mackie's innovative engineering has made it possible to create affordable 8-Bus consoles with better headroom, less noise and more features than models costing twice as much
.
The Sound
There are many 8-Bus consoles on the market today, including some that were directly inspired by the Mackie Designs 8-Bus series. If you attempt to compare them solely on the basis of features, you're missing an invisible but key difference: Sound quality. And that's where the 8-Bus Series distances itself from the competition. It's the first affordable console that is being used on major-label album projects worldwide. If you're looking to upgrade from your limited-channel mixer the Mackie 8-Bus is likely to be the perfect mixer for you.
Multi-Use Mixer
Excellent for project studios, digital multitrack recording, AND live sound, when combined with digital multitrack or hard disk recording systems, a Mackie 8-Bus console can create not just major label CDs, but major motion picture soundtracks and network quality commercials. For live sound, the Mackie 8-Bus offers the goods - especially when you need to record the show.
High-End Features
Features include low-noise/high-headroom mic preamps on every channel, as well as channel inserts and direct outs. In the channel strip you'll find Mackie's truly musical EQ - with Hi and Lo shelving EQ, parametric Hi-Mid, and sweepable Low-Mid EQ - as well as our Low-Cut Filter, which allows you to eliminate mic thumps and room rumble from your mix, and use your EQ for music and vocals. With Mix B, "in-line monitoring" is a breeze. Six aux sends and six aux returns allow you to use all the effects you want. And the 8-Bus's complete talkback and phones level controls make communicating with the talent a snap. When you get right down to it, the 8-Bus series of recording/live sound consoles is a value at many times the price. The fact that artists and producers of every shape and size have sworn by them means when you buy an 8-Bus you'll be in good company.
