The Mackie Onyx8 is a compact 8-channel analog mixer with a built-in multi-track USB interface, so it works as both a live mixer and a recording front end. Its Onyx mic preamps and 3-band Perkins EQ (with sweepable mids) are the headline features, borrowed from Mackie's larger consoles and classic British desks. It suits home recordists, podcasters and small live setups that want hands-on faders and real preamps rather than a menu-driven interface. Against rivals like the Yamaha MG10XU or Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK, it offers more flexible multi-track recording over USB but fewer channels than the 12-channel Soundcraft.

Owners generally rate the Onyx8 highly for its preamp quality and EQ, calling it a big step up from budget mixers. Some wish it had more channels and note the effects are serviceable rather than impressive.
The Mackie Onyx8 is a compact 8-channel analog mixer with multitrack USB recording. It is an 8x4 mixer with 4 low-noise Onyx preamps that provide 60dB of gain. It suits home recording, live audio and mobile sound setups.
The EQ is a 3-band "British Style" Perkins design based on the circuit used in classic mixing consoles from the '60s and '70s. It gives ±15 dB of control and has an on/off hard bypass switch. The chassis is steel, the rotary knobs are sealed, and QuickGrip side handles make it easier to carry.
You can record multitrack audio at up to 24-bit / 96 kHz to a Mac or PC over USB, or to an SD card. Stereo mixes can also be recorded directly to an SD card. Full-color LCDs and physical transport controls handle FX, up to six customizable presets, and SD card file browsing and playback. Bluetooth lets you stream music into any channel, routed to the Aux Sends or Main Mix. Switchable hi-Z inputs accept guitars, bass and other instruments.
