Mackie 24/8/2 Analogue Desk
Mackie’s 24 track analogue mixers are still used in a massive number of studios world-wide. They have provided sound engineers and producers alike with the sort of vintage analogue sound that Mackie has become famous for. The Mackie 24/8 bus desk is the main analogue work-horse part of the studio that can be easily taken out of or inserted into the signal chain to provide the musician, engineer or producer with the flexibility required to deliver that quality product.
