Mackie Big Knob Studio Monitor Controller and Interface

The Big Knob Studio combines a monitor controller and a USB recording interface in a single desktop unit, so a project studio can track, play back, and switch monitors from one surface. Two Onyx mic preamps handle vocals and instruments, and high-resolution USB recording and playback keeps the signal chain clean.

Three sources - two Onyx mic inputs, a stereo line in, and the USB return - feed the monitor section, and A/B switching compares two stereo monitor pairs. The big volume knob, mute, and dim controls give hands-on monitoring without reaching for a mouse.
