The Mackie Onyx Artist 12 is an interface designed to let you record audio to your computer and to monitor that audio as well. With its Onyx microphone preamp single XLR input and 1/4input switchable between line-level signal and Hi-Z instrument impedance the unit is suitable for singer-songwriters podcasters content creators and others who want a mobile setup for recording their own projects. In your own project studio you’ll be able to connect to your monitors by means of the 1/4jacks located on the rear of the unit. The interface is relatively lightweight at 1.1 lb and provides a 1/4headphone output so you can take it with you wherever you go. Mackie’s rugged steel chassis hardware design aids in this endeavor giving you a robust roadworthy chassis for the circuitry inside. Should you monitor through headphones a direct monitor switch is provided which mitigates any latency as you record your audio. The unit is designed to connect to your Mac or Windows computer over USB and is bus-powered by the host computer.
