Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Onyx 8 is a surprisingly capable little mixer, perfect for songwriters, small bands, or podcasters needing a compact and versatile solution. The built-in effects and SD recording are real time-savers, and the Onyx preamps sound surprisingly good for the price. It's a great all-in-one package for gigging or home recording.
