A Premium 30-Input/34-Output Studio Recording Preamp & 192kHz FireWire Interace for Mac or PC Features: There are plenty of FireWire audio interfaces on the market today. But if you`re a musician or engineer who insists on absolute quality, then the Onyx 400F Studio Recording Preamp with 192kHz FireWire I/O is the pre-eminent professional choice. The 400F is a no-compromise recording interface that brings superior sound, robust construction, and several “world`s first” features to those looking to record to Mac or PC. And it comes bundled with Mackie`s popular Tracktion 2 software for easy recording right out of the box. THE BASICS Preamps, Plugs & Knobs The Onyx 400F is a 10-channel premium mic preamp and FireWire audio interface featuring four boutique-quality Onyx mic preamps. These highly acclaimed preamps offer superior headroom, sonic detail, and clarity vs. the competition?delivering 123dB dynamic range and an amazing .0007% THD?and a sound that has been widely praised as exceptionally “open” and “revealing.” The Onyx 400F also offers TRS inserts for inserting your favorite outboard gear into your signal path before sending it to your Mac or PC, plus an internal 10 x 10 DSP Matrix Mixer with full recall and 64-bit floating point processing?a feature not found on any other FireWire interface, at any price. APPLICATIONS With four Onyx mic preamps, four line inputs and stereo S/PDIF digital inputs, the 400F is the ideal box for tracking anything from smaller overdub-style projects to a full band. Operation is refreshingly straightforward. You simply plug in your mics and instruments to the front or rear panel, and plug a FireWire cable into your Mac or PC. The 400F`s eight individual outputs can be used for surround mixing, or for sending four discrete stereo headphone mixes to a headphone amp like one of our new HM Series (coming soon). For overdubs, the 400F`s dual headphone outputs give both the engineer and musician their own headphone outs with independent volume control. And the internal 10 x 10 Matrix Mixer allows near-zero-latency routing of any input to any output. ENGINEERED TO OVER-PERFORM AKM ChipA common question regarding the sound quality of any digital audio interface is often “What converters does it use?” Specifically, the Onyx 400F features mastering-grade 24-bit/192kHz AKM? 5385 and 4358 audio converters?the same top-notch, phase-accurate converters you`ll find in our flagship Digital X Bus. But at the same time, the 400F`s “sound quality” is a function of its entire system ? the superb Onyx preamps, the well-engineered summing circuitry, the 64-bit floating point processing, and more. Unlike other audio interface manufacturers, Mackie has a grizzled team of veteran analog engineers in-house. So we didn`t just design the 400F, we over-designed it, paying attention to every last detail.
