The main outputs are on both XLR and TRS connectors. The Rotopod’s rear panel houses all of the connections required for the mixer: mic inputs on XLRs, TRS line inputs and unbalanced inserts per channel. This gives you plenty of flexibility in fixed installations and road casing choices, allowing you to make your configuration decision based on the 1640i’s specific application, location and space requirements. The Rotopod is a great idea actually the I/O connectors can be set into one of three different positions passing through 180 degrees. In this arrangement, your connectors are in line (parallel) with the desk’s operating surface. Following on the Mackie tradition of rugged build quality, the 1640i’s housing is constructed from steel, giving the console a sturdiness that imparts a sense of substance and an expectation of reliability.įrom the factory the units ships with its adjustable I/O pod – what Mackie calls the ‘Rotopod’ – set into what I would call the ‘horizontal’ (others might even call the ‘Missionary’) position. With its dark grey colouring, white markings and coloured knobs, it fits the company’s long established design aesthetic to a tee. MACKIE: METAL HEADSįirst impression right out of the box is that the 1640i looks quintessentially Mackie. With its ability to (multi-track) record a live gig to a laptop computer equipped with a suitable audio application, and, at the same time, cover FOH and monitor mixing duties, the 1640i has the flexibility to become an integral part of countless compact yet powerful live recording and mixing setups. Mackie might just have a hit of its own on its hands.Īnd of course, let’s not forget the console’s potential in the live mixing and installation markets. Who’d ’ave thunk it? As their old ads used to say… “Many hits have been made on Mackies.” In this case, combining a small-format – in fact, rack-mountable – 16-channel into four bus mixer with a 24-bit/96k, 16-channel Firewire audio interface and ProTools software compatibility, could well be exactly what many audio consumers with project studios are looking for. Mackie has a reputation for successfully identifying a market niche and filling it with a product that gives you both ‘bang for buck’ and good sound. This is the first time Avid (the owners of Digidesign, M-Audio and now Euphonix) has sanctioned alternative hardware – other than its own M-Audio line of interfaces – for use with M-Powered ProTools software.
