Manufacturer's Description for Mackie B248 Recording/PA Console (24x8x2)

The 8-bus Series was designed to eliminate the last barrier between you and audio creativity - the 32x8, 24x8 are capable of sound quality equal to or better than that of $100,000 consoles. Mackie's 8-bus consoles have recorded more platinum albums and major motion picture soundtracks than any other mixer in their class - they set the standard for affordable 8-bus consoles.

Excellent for project studios and digital multi-track recording when combined with digital multi-track or hard disk recording systems. A Mackie 8-bus console not only creates major label CDs, but also major motion picture soundtracks and network quality commercials.

Features include low-noise/high-headroom mic preamps on every channel, as well as channel inserts and direct outs. In the channel strip you'll find Mackie's truly musical EQ - with Hi and Lo shelving EQ, parametric Hi-Mid, and sweepable Low-Mid EQ - as well as our Low Cut Filter, which allows you to eliminate mic thumps and room rumble from your mix, and use your EQ for music and vocals.

With Mix B, "in-line monitoring" is a breeze. Six aux sends and 6 aux returns allow you to use all the effects you want. And the 8-Bus's complete talkback and phones level controls make communicating with the talent a snap. There's much more:

When you get right down to it, the 8ÝBus Series of recording consoles is a value at many times the price. The fact that artists and producers of every shape and size have sworn by them means when you buy an 8ÝBus you'll be in good company.

"Perfect for project studio's and for live concert setups not shows concerts this thing is heavy its the best in the market today"

Sound: The sound cant be touched best ever create Feature: It has veery thing you need but because it is not a digital mixer which is prob a lil bit more modern for studio recording, this mixer can be used still for project studios but even better for live shows and concerts. Quality: Like I said the sound is the best it is quite durable too. It wont break Value: Oh this is in the top 3 def. In the market today. I mean there are a few other brands that go into otherstuf like for video editing and stuf but If you know what your using it for and use it correctly it is def one of the best. Manufacturer Support: I havent contacted mackie as of yetso thats a good thing if I ever need to I place a another review The Wow Factor: It looks the best in the market its 8 bus is ont he side wchich distinguishes it from other brands its not in the middle like most other thatn that its the perfect prof quality prof studio mixer in the market Overall: overall i give it a 9 only becaseu of those new digital mixers that are out and since i use it in our recording studio and there are new digital mixers that can control the whole room and software u can do it on this one but the new digital mixers are better. uglier but better.

Style of Music: all
