Overview
The Mackie Onyx Producer 2·2 is a USB audio/MIDI interface designed for high-resolution recording and monitoring in home and project studios. With its dual Onyx microphone preamps, combo XLR-1/4" inputs, and 5-pin MIDI I/O, the unit is particularly suitable for singer-songwriters and producers who make use of MIDI instruments and MIDI hardware. In your own project studio, you'll be able to connect to your monitors by means of the 1/4" jacks located on the rear of the unit.
The interface is relatively lightweight at 1.4 lb and provides a 1/4" headphone output, so you can take it with you wherever you go. Mackie's all-metal 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 knob is provided, which mitigates any latency as you record your audio. At minimum value, the knob ensures that you hear your direct input from the preamps. At maximum, you'll hear the signal as it's routed through the DAW. Use the knob to blend between the two extremes if you wish. The unit is designed to connect to your Mac or Windows computer over USB, and is bus powered by the host computer.
The Onyx Producer 2·2 features a download for ProTools | First and Waveform software and The Musician's Collection plug-in package including 23 high-quality plugins with BBD Delay, Level Lite, 304E EQ, and 304C Compressor. To authorize the software, simply input the mixer's serial number on the website.
The Onyx Producer 2·2 delivers high headroom and low noise by means of its analog circuitry, including its Onyx mic preamps.
Two 5-pin MIDI jacks are provided—one for accepting MIDI signals and another for outputting MIDI to compatible devices.
A true analog monitoring path allows you to hear audio directly from the preamps as you record, so you can eliminate the latency of hearing the audio through your DAW. The knob allows you to blend between direct monitoring and listening off your DAW.
The interface features connectivity over USB 2.0 for fast data transfers and minimal latency. It's also bus powered through this port, meaning no external power is required. The unit is compatible with Core Audio and ASIO drivers.
The Onyx Series Producer gives you an all-metal enclosure and heavy-duty potentiometers, as well as a robust internal construction.

The Mackie EM-89D is an EleMent Series dynamic microphone offering tour-worthy construction and sonic performance tuned for clear reproduction of vocals and instruments in live stage applications and studio recording. Like all EleMent Series mics, the EM-89D presents an attractive combination of ruggedness, quality sound, and affordability.
The EM-89D utilizes a cardioid polar pattern, which rejects sound behind the mic to reduce the pickup of stage bleed and allow higher gain before feedback. The mic's dynamic moving-coil design requires no batteries or phantom power, and the balanced 3-pin XLR output ensures proper connectivity with stage boxes, mixers, and portable PA systems. The EM-89D includes a mic clip, an XLR cable, and a zipper pouch.
The Mackie EM-91C is an EleMent Series condenser microphone offering sturdy construction and sonic performance tuned for accurate reproduction of vocals and instruments in project studios and commercial facilities. Like all EleMent Series mics, the EM-91C presents an attractive combination of ruggedness, quality sound, and affordability.
The EM-91C utilizes a cardioid polar pattern, which rejects sound behind the mic to reduce the pickup of bleed from other instruments while attenuating room ambience to deliver a more direct, controlled sound. The mic's large-diaphragm condenser capsule operates via phantom power, and the balanced 3-pin XLR output ensures proper connectivity with audio interfaces, external preamps, and mixing consoles. The EM-91C includes a vibration-reducing shockmount and an XLR cable.
