Mackie has announced a new line of mobile, high-resolution audio interfaces - Onyx USB Interfaces - which they say are designed for singer/songwriters, home studios, content creators and more. Available in two models, the Artist 12 and the Producer 22, Onyx USB Interfaces feature Mackie's Onyx mic preamps, 24-bit/192kHz recording, zero-latency direct monitoring, and more, plus a full license for Tracktion™ T7 DAW + DAW Essentials Collection.

Jon Rundle, Mackie Product Manager, told us, "Mackie has a long history designing premium analog and digital studio gear. Our mission was to create affordable interfaces that were a reflection of that legacy, and with the new Onyx USB Interfaces, we delivered. Not all USB interfaces are created equal. Anyone can give you a high sample rate, but the premium sound and build quality won't be there, that's where Onyx USB Interfaces really rise above the rest.""
