How to use

Connect microphones and line sources to the appropriate inputs, set gain using the Onyx preamp controls and use the Perkins EQ to shape each channel’s tone. Route channels to main stereo output or to individual USB tracks for multitrack recording to your DAW at up to 24-bit/96 kHz. Apply built-in FX from the FX section and adjust send/return levels as needed. For a simple stereo capture, select the SD record option to write the main mix directly to an SD card. Use the QuickGrip handles when transporting the mixer; ensure proper mains voltage (100–240 V) before powering on.

Usage recommendations

For optimal recording quality, set preamp gain so peaks sit below clipping while maintaining a healthy signal-to-noise ratio, use the Perkins EQ sparingly to preserve natural sound, and monitor at mix reference levels. When touring, secure the mixer in a road case and avoid exposing sealed knobs to extreme impact.
