It is hard to go wrong when you choose Mackie as your brand
of mixer for your podcast. The Mackie name in audio electronics
is famous for its quality and none can match the microphone pre-amps
built by Mackie. Your audio is only as good as the mixer that it goes
through. This is why The Podcast Bunker Audio Solutions Team only
recommends Mackie as a choice for audio mixers.

Mixers:
The Onyx 1220, 1620 and 1640 start with Mackie's new Onyx mic preamps, which meet or surpass just about any standalone mic preamp on the market in terms of pure fidelity and head-room (and yes, there are specs to prove it). Next up is the completely new Perkins EQ circuitry, a "neo classic" 3- and 4-band design which gives you the sweet musicality of British EQ with greater filter control and minimum phase shift (plus a true hardware EQ bypass). This analog brilliance is paired with a full-featured discrete Auxiliary section, a completely redesigned mix bus and summing amp section, and a built-in Talkback section with onboard mic.

They practically built their company on the shoulders of hallmark blue and red knobs, legendary XDR preamps, and VLZ circuitry. So why develop the Onyx 1620, part of a whole new small-format analog mixer line from scratch? To add more features, even better EQ, and FireWire!
