Don't get me wrong, it is not a 1 thousand dollars interface with audiophile grade analog-digital convertors and preamps, but for the price range it really punches above what is intended for. So, overall, after 3 years of using it, i highly recommend it. If i would have to choose again between the mackie and the focusrite scarlett, i would choose the mackie all over again. They are very similar products but in my opinion the mackie just looks better with their black design, i am not a fan of the red scarlett design. It is a great competitor to the focusrite scarlett which i had the opportunity to test at one of my friends studio. I have to say that for the price, i am really impressed with the build quality of this mackie interface. I was able to pull a latency of 2ms from the interface, which again is something very good.

USB Audio Interface Mac & PC Free Plug-ins. There is no noise or hiss, preamps are very good, the interface does not heat up and everything is working as expected. MACKIE ONYX BLACKJACK 2X2 USB RECORDING INTERFACE US SELLER RARE. I have been using this audio interface for almost 3 years now and had no issues at all. The onyx preamps are pretty neutral which is something i was looking for, all of the buttons feel nice at touch, they are not wobbling but have some nice resistance when you turn them and the plastic used does not feel cheap at all. It’s propped up at an angle for easy use of the controls and all the cable inputs are on the back, giving it a nice and clean feel even when everything is plugged in. I bought this audio interface for use in my home studio and after 3 years of using it i have to say it exceeded my expectations.
