With Master Fader, your mixer continues to get better over time. Try that with your analog mixer! ALL-NEW, GREAT-SOUNDING REVERB! Mackie team has spent serious time and development on a completely new set of reverb algorithms that are a true sonic step up for any Master Fader user and we think you will be excited to hear them. More realistic in every way and offering a whole range of new setting options, your next mix will benefit from the richness and depth of the all-new reverb and expanded control options. NEW SPECTROGRAPH OPTION FOR RTA Adding another incredibly useful live sound metering capability, a spectrograph measures and displays the frequency content of a source in a highly-visual, very actionable way that can take the guesswork out of many EQ tasks. Mackie has added a Spectrograph option alongside the RTA to deliver more choice for you when EQ’ing an output. A spectrograph can help you balance volume across the audible spectrum, resulting in a better mix for your audience. It also, makes it even easier to find and eliminate feedback. VIEW THE RTA/SPECTROGRAPH ON ALL INPUT CHANNELS Outputs aren’t the only place to use an RTA or Spectrograph. Having access to this on inputs can really help dial things in during soundcheck. Solo a specific source and see its exact frequency content so you can make adjustments quickly and easily. The RTA and Spectrograph are now available for view on any input channel. Bring one up under your channel EQ during soundcheck and quickly see where you need to make adjustments. NEW FACTORY PRESETS FOR EVERYTHING While Mackie was knee-deep in new reverb development, it was a great time to address all of the factory presets. But we didn’t stop with just the reverb; all EQ, dynamics and FX presets are completely new, offering an even better starting point for any user. Plus, of course, you can save your own presets as needed. NEW METERING BALLISTICS OPTIONS Want more control over your metering behavior? Mackie's got you covered with new metering ballistics options. You can now choose how long the meter holds your RTA peak, new meter peak and meter clip values. This is just another level of control that delivers the customized experience you deserve when mixing. FX PRESETS NOW INCLUDE FX RETURN EQ Now, when you recall an FX preset, you no longer need to re-tweak the associated FX return EQ. Man, how many hours did you waste doing this? The new implementation automatically recalls and applies that FX return EQ when you recall an FX preset. Science! Click here for a Free Download.
