With Mackie's Mix Series Compact Mixers, they go back to the basics. Many mixers are sold with extraneous connections and bells and whistles meant for the most convoluted setups. In contrast, the Mix8 only gives you exactly what you need: 8 channels of high-headroom, low-noise performance; stereo RCA in/out; an aux send with stereo 1/4" returns; and stereo main, control room, and headphone outputs. All of this is packed into an extremely compact and rugged metal chassis small enough to slip into a laptop bag and presented at an affordable price. If you need to get down to basics, look no further than the Mackie Mix8.Features8-channel compact mixer with proven high-headroom, low-noise performance2 mic/line inputs with studio-level audio quality preamps and phantom power2 stereo 1/4" line inputs3-band EQ on all channels with clean, precise tone shaping1 aux send with stereo 1/4" returnsMain L/R outputsHeadphone and stereo control room outputsExtremely rugged, compact and portableSpecificationsNoise Characteristics (20 Hz - 20 kHz bandwidth, 150 Ω source impedance):All outputs, master levels and channel levels off: -100 dBuAll outputs, master levels unity, all channel levels off: -90 dBuAll outputs, master levels unity, 1 channel level unity: -85 dBuDistortion (THD+N), Mic Input to Main Output:< 0.01% @ +4 dBu outputAttenuation and Crosstalk (20 Hz - 20 kHz bandwidth):Inputs to Outputs @ 1 kHz: -85 dBMain Mix Off @ 1 kHz: -80 dBFrequency Response (mic input to any output, gain @ unity): +0, -1, 20 Hz to 30 kHzEquivalent Input Noise (EIN) (mic in to insert send out, max gain): 150 Ω termination, -125 dBuCommon Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) (mic in to insert send out, max gain): 1 kHz, better than 70 dBMaximum Levels:Mic Inputs (XLR): +19 dBuAux Return In: +16 dBuAll Other Inputs: +21 dBuAll Outputs: +21 dBuImpedances:Mic In: 3.8 kΩAll Other Inputs: 10 kΩ or greaterTape Out: 1 kΩPhones Out: 22 kΩAll Other Outputs: 120 Ω unbalanced, 240 Ω balancedEqualization: 3-bandHigh Shelving: ±15 dB @ 12 kHzMid Peaking: ±15 dB @ 2.5 kHzLow Shelving: ±15 dB @ 80 HzLow Cut Filter: 18 dB/oct., -3 dB @ 75 HzAC Power Requirements:Input (US): AC120V~ 60 HzOutput (US): AC18V~ 600mAOperating Temperature: 32-104°FDimensions (H x W x D): 2.1" x 7.8" x 9.6"Weight: 2.5 lbs Mackie Mix8 8-Channel Compact Mixer.
