Surprisingly for its compact size, the Onyx Blackjack delivers whole host of professional-standard features. You can even adjust your buffer settings to maximise the processing ability of your computer.

Featuring a true analog monitoring path directly from the preamps to your studio monitors or headphones and the ability to track with zero latency in both mono and strereo, you can get the right vibe when recording stereo signals like acoustic guitars and keyboards. That's why Mackie have put that issue to rest with the zero-latency recording that the Onyx Blackjack is capable of. Pesky computer-induced delays can kill the vibe of any recording session. Mackies's preamp circuitry is aligned precisely with the onboard analog-to-digital conversion to always provide you with the most headroom and the lowest noise and distortion possible, a real sonic benefit that is often ignored on smaller interfaces. The Onyx Blackjack uses Cirrus Logic converters which offer 114dB dynamic range. With improved radio frequency rejection, ultra-wide dynamic range and a full 60dB or available gain, the Blackjack Recording Interface leaves would-be competitors in the dust. The Blackjack's Onyx preamps have been researched and designed to provide fierce competition to the more expensive and standalone preamps in terms of fidelity, headroom and transparency, much like the Onyx preamps in other Mackie flagship Onyx products. PC and Mac-friendly, and compatible with most major DAW software, the Onyx Blackjack Recording Interface is the utmost in sonic quality and simplicity.


The ergonomically designed Blackjack is compact and will not add to cable clutter as a USB connection provides bus-power. Delivering the same Onyx preamps as their other flagship products, the Onyx Blackjack provides professional features such as high-end AD/DA converters, built-in DIs, phantompower and true analog hardware monitoring of inputs for hassle-free zero-latency tracking in either mono or stereo.
