Visual Sound, Inc. Studio Recording Preamp & 192kHz FireWire Interface Onyx 1200F

Mackie Designs, Inc. It's a multi-media, multi-platform, multi-format, multi-channel world. You never know what new challenge will walk through your studio door. The last thing you want is to say those dreaded words: "I can't do that." You need to be ready for anything. So we've given you - everything. The Onyx 1200F FireWire audio interface is quite simply a monster. It boasts 30 total inputs (yes, 30!) and 34 outputs. Twelve of these inputs are premium-grade Onyx mic/line preamps, enough to track a complete live band all in a single pass. On the output stage, you've got 8 discrete analogue outs for surround mixing, or to mix down discrete mix "stems." The 1200F also boasts the most fully equipped monitoring and signal routing architecture you'll find in a recording interface, with 4 individual headphone outs, flexible control room options, and a fully customizable signal routing matrix. It's also loaded with comprehensive digital I/O (AES/EBU, S/PDIF, 16 channels of ADAT Optical), WordClock, dual MIDI I/O jacks, Talkback, balanced sends/returns... Pretty much anything you can imagine - and everything you'll need - is there. While the 1200F's specs may be ambitious, we know that's only half the story. It also has to sound phenomenal. In addition to its pristine Onyx signal path, the 1200F is fully HD ready, with mastering-grade AKM 24-bit, 192 kHz digital converters. Of course all this wouldn't mean a thing if it didn't have that signature Mackie legacy of quality craftsmanship, reliability, affordability, and intuitive ease of use. The Onyx 1200F FireWire audio interface brings everything together into a single, harmonious system to meet any challenge that comes your way.
