MACKIE Producer 2-2 Onyx Audio Interface

Great Sound and Zero-latency Monitoring

Singer/songwriters and content creators will love the Mackie Onyx Producer 2-2. High-resolution 24-bit/192kHz converters combine with premium analog circuitry to deliver top-notch sound. A pair of boutique-sounding Onyx mic preamps provides excellent fidelity and dynamic range, while their XLR/TRS combo inputs accommodate just about everything. You also get a hi-Z switch on each channel for DI-ing your guitar or bass. Zero-latency direct monitoring and a headphone output make tracking a breeze. And you can hook up your synths, controllers, and other hardware with ease, thanks to built-in MIDI connectivity. Bus-powered for the ultimate in portability, the Onyx Producer 2-2 is a great way to capture any performance.

The Yamaha GO44 is a mobile audio solution that features high quality line
inputs/outputs and worldclass MIDI and audio recording software enabling
professional quality recording to a computer in a very compact package that
can be carried and used virtually anyway.
The Yamaha GO44 boasts up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution on the analog inputs/
outputs - the best in its class - and 24-bit/96kHz on the digital I/O. This pro-level
quality makes the Yamaha GO44 perfect for any type of recording, and allows
you to capture the full details and nuances of the original source - from the
breathiness of a vocal to the delicate finger slides of an acoustic guitar performance.

The Yamaha GO44 features 4-in/4-out multi-channel audio, with two analog phone
jack terminals for both input and output, and special S/P DIF coaxial terminals for
two-channel digital in/out. This device is simple and easy to use, yet provides high-quality
recording capability - perfect not only for those who want to create music, but also
for those who want an audio playback system for their computer that delivers
outstanding sound quality.

The digital outputs on the Yamaha GO44 are compatible with the AC-3 and DTS
surround sound formats. Simply connect a surround compatible amplifier/speaker
setup, and enjoy the powerful sonic experience of surround sound.

• Hybrid FireWire/USB2 connectivity — connect to your computer via either bus-powered FireWire or hi-speed USB2.
• CueMix FX™ — flexible 10 input/14 bus mixer with on-board DSP effects, including reverb with sends/returns, plus EQ and compression on every input and output.
• 10 inputs / 14 outputs — there's no channel sharing in the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid; the mic inputs, S/PDIF I/O, headphone out and main outs are all handled as separate channels.
• Classic Reverb™ — provides five different room types, three frequency shelves with adjustable crossover points, shelf filtering and reverb lengths up to 60 seconds.
• Two forms of compression — a standard compressor with conventional threshold/ratio/attack/release/gain controls and the Leveler™, an accurate model of the legendary LA-2A optical compressor, which provides vintage, musical automatic gain control.
• Modeled EQ — provides 7-band parametric EQ modeled after British analog console EQs, featuring 4 filter styles (gain/Q profiles) to effectively cover a wide range of audio material. LP and HP filters are also supplied with slopes that range from 6 to 36 dB.
• CueMix FX cross-platform mixing software — attractive graphic mixing, graphic editing of parametric EQ and a convenient tabbed interface for quick access to all features in one window. Also provides full-screen real-time FFT display, spectrogram "waterfall" display, oscilloscope, X-Y plot and linear or polar phase analysis.
• Front-panel control — access any setting in your entire UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid mix directly from the front panel.
• “Reverb return" stream — allows users to record or mix UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid reverb output separately in their DAW. Effects can also be applied when the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid is operating stand-alone (without a computer) as a complete stand-alone mixer.
• Stand-alone operation — program your mixes at the studio and then bring the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid to your gig — no computer needed. Just plug in the included power adapter and you are ready to go. Need to tweak the mix? Do it on site using the back-lit LCD and front-panel controls.
• Multiple CueMix FX mixes — for example, create different monitor mixes for the main outs and headphones. Or add send/return loops for outboard gear — with no latency.
• Two combo jacks provide hi-Z 1/4” guitar input or low-Z XLR mic input with phantom power, pad and plenty of gain.
• Eight 24-bit 192kHz analog inputs and outputs on balanced/unbalanced 1/4" TRS jacks
• Precision Digital Trim™ — Digitally controlled analog trim on all analog inputs (mic/guitar inputs + quarter-inch TRS inputs) provides accurate adjustements in 1 dB increments. Fine-tune the balance of your analog inputs and then save/recall trim configurations.
• Direct Digital Synthesis™ (DDS) — a DSP-driven phase lock engine and internal clock source that produces imperceptibly low jitter characteristics (below the noise floor), even when the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid is resolved to an external clock source via SMPTE time code.
• Time code support — directly resolves to (or generates) time code via any quarter-inch input or output, without the need for an extra synchronizer.
• Sample-accurate MIDI — connect a MIDI controller and/or sound module with no separate interface needed. MIDI I/O is sample-accurate with supporting software.
• Expandable — add additional interfaces for more I/O as your needs grow.
• Separate TRS main outs with front panel volume control.
• Stereo 24-bit 96kHz S/PDIF in/out.
• Includes drivers for Mac & PC, including ASIO, WDM, Wave, Core Audio, and Core MIDI. Supports all popular Mac and Windows audio software.
• 100% compatible with all host-based effects processing in today's popular audio programs.
• Includes AudioDesk full-featured sample-accurate workstation software for the Mac with recording, editing, mixing, real-time 32-bit effects processing & sample-accurate sync.
• Plug-and-play operation with your Mac or PC via FireWire or USB2.
• Front panel volume control for monitoring. Stereo, Quad, 6.1, 7.1 and user-defined surround monitoring setups available.
• Front panel headphone jack with volume control.
• Bus-powered FireWire operation. No need for external power when operating as a FireWire interface connected to a computer. A power supply is included for stand-alone operation.
• Chassis dimensions, excluding rack ears and front and back panel knobs and connectors: 9.5 x 7 x 1.75 inches (24.13 x 17.78 x 4.45 cm). Knobs and connectors extend up to 0.5 inch (1.27 cm) from front and back panels, adding 1 inch (2.54 cm) to depth. With rack ears attached, fits one half of a standard 19 inch (48.26 cm) rack at 1U high.
