The folded‑steel case has a built‑in rear leg so that it sits at a sensible angle on the desk, and all the connections are kept at the back, out of the way. The unit is designed for desktop use, and Mackie's designers have clearly gone for simplicity, quality and very robust packaging. The Mackie Onyx Blackjack is a combined USB audio interface and monitor-level controller aimed at those who only need to record one or two inputs at a time, but who want the preamp and digital conversion quality of Mackie's larger Onyx interfaces and mixers. I am thinking I will need two 1/4" to 3.55mm cable to connect Mackie L monitor to X-A1 L AUX, and the same for the right.Ĭould you let me know if this is sensible, i.e.Mackie's Blackjack is the smallest interface yet to feature their acclaimed Onyx mic preamps.
I have tried using ASIO4ALL drivers to mix and match the Mackie input with my PC output, but I can't get them to work together. Unfortunately if I use the Mackie drivers, I cannot choose a different audio output - I am limited to the two L & R 1/4" monitor outputs in the back of the Blackjack, as below. I want to use the Mackie drivers to record with the Blackjack, and listen to the results through my amp.Ĭurrently the amp is connected directly to the PC through 3.55mm aux cables. I have a Mackie Onyx Blackjack audio interface and a Musical Fidelity X-A1 amplifier. Subreddit's theme is /r/Minimaluminiumalism.
