Premium analog circuitry delivers top-notch sound

No matter what you're recording, the Onyx Artist 1-2 will deliver studio-quality sound. Premium analog circuitry ensures maximum headroom and low noise. High-resolution 24-bit/192kHz converters capture every source with impressive accuracy. And an Onyx preamp imparts a boutique-ish warmth to vocals, guitars, synths, or anything else you run through it.

Zero-latency direct monitoring for effortless tracking

The Mackie Onyx Artist 1-2 employs a true analog signal path directly from its preamp to your monitoring chain. This means that you can track while monitoring with zero digital routing and zero latency. Here we appreciate being able to increase our DAW's buffer settings to maximize our computer's processing ability, while still benefiting from zero-latency monitoring.
