Mackie is a leader in many categories, the small-format mixer being among the foremost. The Mix5 represents Mackie's current 5-channel option in the inexpensive, low-profile mixer marketplace. Like all of their small-format mixers from the past, the Mix5 is a winner. Perfect for straightforward applications that incorporate a single mic with other sources, Mix5 sounds great and maintains audio quality from any source. It features Mackie's signature "built like a tank" construction care of its rugged metal chassis, and four of Mackie's legendary preamps.
