In the incredible mix of new product announcements unleashed before the company's presence at NAMM 2024, the new Mackie MobileMix revitalizes an interesting category in portable live production and content creation. The Mackie MobileMix is a fully featured small audio mixer designed to work with tablets and smartphone in live sound, video production, and streaming setups.
The new Mackie MobileMix delivers professional audio quality in an analog mixer that can be used anywhere. The ultimate in portability, MobileMix can even be powered via a USB battery (sold separately) that fits in a dedicated slot underneath, or another USB-C power source.
This mini mixer can handle up to eight audio channels, including microphones, instruments, and even Bluetooth audio. Users get two of Mackie’s legendary low-noise mic preamp channels with combo XLR and 1/4-inch connectors, Hi-Z impedance switches for electric guitars, low-cut filters, and 48V phantom power for condenser mics. It is possible to connect stereo sources with 1/4" line and 3.5 mm aux inputs and use the bi-directional Bluetooth audio features to bring in phone calls, with Mix Minus to monitor and record callers without echo. Users can even apply onboard EQ and reverb for a complete mix on the go.
Dual mix outputs take the versatility to the next level, letting users send the mix to two places simultaneously. The MobileMix compact mixer can be used to run live sound to speakers, while simultaneously recording to an audio interface or tablet (mounted in the dedicated tablet slot). It can also stream to two devices at once, and play music from one device while recording to another. Users can even connect some extra sets of headphones.
For content creators, this is an ideal concept, offering a real, professional sound mixer that can be used anywhere. Users can just connect a USB battery pack and can track and stream for hours, far away from a power outlet, with the audio quality and reliability that Mackie is known for.
The Mackie MobileMix will be available beginning January 2024 with a MAP of $229.99.
